The Nokia 3310 which is officially 17 years old from it’s introduction into the mobile phone market is making a comeback after consumers have begged for a reliable second phone.
It’s one of the hardest and strongest handsets ever made and it is the first mobile most people ever owned.
Now the Nokia 3310 is reportedly making a comeback, with a modern version launching at Mobile World Congress this month. That’s according to VentureBeat’s Evan Blass, a reliable source of leaks, who has spoken to a person briefed on the plans.

The original 3310 gained legendary status for boasting an impressive battery life and being near-indestructible.
Dave Mitchell, a former soldier, told the Sunearlier this month that his 3310 has been through a washing machine, stamped on and submerged in curry, but it still works and only needs charging every ten days.
The device will be relaunched by HMD Global Oy, a Finnish manufacturer with the rights to market phones under the Nokia brand, for just €59, Blass reported.
It’s set be a hit among Nokia diehards who want a reliable second mobile to compliment their smartphone – or anyone obsessed by Snake.
Blass reported that HMD is also set to unveil a pair of cheap smartphones under the Nokia brand at Mobile World Congress.
