Nokia will bring back one of its most beloved handsets over 16 years after it was first launched, according to a new report. The Nokia 3310, released in 2000, sold 126 million units worldwide, making it the world's best-selling mobile phone.
It achieved cult status due to its impressively long battery life, durability, and the addictive game Snake II. Now HMD Global, the Finnish company with exclusive rights to market the Nokia brand, is reportedly planning to release a revamped version of the classic phone.
A person briefed on the company's plans told VentureBeat that HMD Global would unveil the handset at Mobile World Congress (MWC), the world's biggest mobile trade show, which takes place in Barcelona at the end of February.
The new 3310 is expected to cost €59 (£50) - significantly less than its original price of £129. News of the possible release has been met with a mixed response, with much-expressing excitement over the return of a "beloved friend":
