It is now known that HMD Global is expected to re-launch Nokia 3310 later this week at the Mobile World Congress to be held in Barcelona. The upcoming device will be available for purchase only at UK Carphone Warehouse.
The new Nokia 3310 as mentioned above will be presented tomorrow at the Mobile World Congress with two different devices: Nokia 3 and Nokia 5.
HMD Global has not yet announced whether the new Nokia 3310 will be released globally or will only be available in some select countries of the company. But taking into account the fact that 126 has been sold by millions of original Nokia 3310 devices worldwide, 17 has been around for years, it is probably safe to say that the new version will be released in many countries.
A Mobile Today publication reveals that Carphone Warehouse will be the marketing company that HMD Global has chosen to cooperate with (initially?) in the United Kingdom. The sales company will be able to dispose of the device exclusively in the United Kingdom.
With the resumption of the 3310 model, HMD Global is said to want to meet the needs of the buying audience that still cares about durable devices and extended battery life.
Rumors say the new Nokia 3310 will have roughly the same design as its predecessor, but it will be lighter and finer. In addition, the phone could come with a larger color screen that uses Series 30 + UI (user interface), which will allow users to view more content. The new Nokia 3310 will be available in red, green, yellow, black, gray and blue.
The 2017 version of the device is expected to cost € 59 or £ 50.
According to the Chinese website Vtech, the new Nokia 3310 will have an 84 × 84 color screen.
According to the well-known leaker Evan Blass, you can imagine the device if you think of an old Nokia 3310 in conjunction with a new Nokia 150.

Anyone who remembers the snake, one of the toys of the old Nokia 3310, will probably wonder if the new device is contained in the modern version. There are currently no rumors to confirm or exclude it.
