The Legend is back !!!!

If i say you guess the phone, and give you three hints

1) Long battery life
2) Snake
3) Grande Valse

It will not take you long to guess the phone. Yes, i am talking about Nokia 3310. This phone took the world by storm 17 years ago. Nokia sold over 125 million handsets. HMD Global has been making headlines for there attempts in bringing back the glory of Nokia. There has been rumors for sometime about the re launch of Nokia phones, today HMD Global finally announced the relaunch of Nokia phones, and what could have been a better choice to start with the legend "Nokia 3310" itself.

While breaking the news about relaunch of Nokia 3310, Arto Nummela, CEO of HMD Global only said this

 Its battery lasts a month, it has Snake, and it has the Nokia ringtone

The Nokia 3310 is going to have following features

-It is going to be thin and light and of course hard to break.
-Its battery life is going to be 22-hour talk-time and 30 days on stand-by, 51 hours of MP3 playback time.
-It will be available in four colors. Yellow, Warm Red, Dark Blue and Grey.
-The price will be 49 euros.
-LED flash 2 megapixel camera
-2.4 inch,240x320 screen
-It comes with a basic web browser.
-FM Radio and mp3 music player
-16 MB Storage plus MicroSD card slot with support up to 32 GB.


The phone is still purpose built, its not smart phone and as its main purpose remains the same, calls and text messages. There is still a big market for feature phones, i am not sure if they are again gonna sell million units, but i do believe its going to give a serious competition.
