Nokia 3310 making a comeback in 2017

Nokia is bringing 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.HMD Global Oy, the Finnish manufacturer with exclusive rights to the Nokia brand, is set to announce four new phones at Mobile World Congress on February 26, according to notorious leaker Evan Blass.

The Nokia 6 is likely to be the flagship of the four, after going on sale in China for 1699 CNY (£201). When it lands in Europe, prices are expected to be in the region of €149. The Android Nougat phone has a 5.5-inch screen, Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage and a 16MP rear-facing camera.

It was initially said to be a China-only phone, but leaked documents last month hinted at the possibility it might also launch in other regions after a new Nokia model was awarded Bluetooth certification.
