The legendary Nokia’s 3310 mobile phone has been relaunched. However, only the revenues will indicate the extent of the phone’s acceptance. The original handset was first released in 2001. Many considered it iconic because of its popularity and sturdiness. The original 3310 model put solid build quality front and center, with a noticeable thickness and removable fascias; the battery could give up to 2.5 hours of talktime and up to 11 days of standby. More than 126 million copies were sold.

Recently the Finnish start-up HMD Global introduced new Nokia 3310. Modern version got more curved shape, became thinner, but preserved its original recognizable design. The mobile phone will be released in classic navy blue color, as well as in red and yellow. The original Nokia 3310 has the classic monophonic jingle, while the new version has a more polyphonic variant of the tune. Even well-known Snake was preserved. Now it has a modern-day version called Snake Xenzia with full color graphics, a wider selection of levels, a more lifelike snake. Nokia 3310 runs the Nokia Series 30+ operating system, has a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 2.0 megapixel camera, and a microSD slot. Battery gives 22 hours of talktime and up to 31 days of standby. What concerns sturdiness, which was the main distinctive feature of the old mobile phone, then let’s wait for the users’ reviews. Hopefully, there will be plenty of them, as numerous videos of crash tests of the new Nokia 3310 start to appear in the Internet.
