Nokia's 3310 to make a comeback later this month

Nokia's 3310 is probably the first mobile phone your fatherbought home and it seems like you'll soon have your chance too. According to apopular tipster, Evan Blass the device will make a comeback in the Mobile WorldCongress (MWC) in Barcelona this year. The Nokia event is scheduled to happenon February 26.

Despite a similar name, we are not sure if Nokia 3310 willbe an exact copy of the legendary device or will the similarity end with justthe name. The tipster didn't give out any specifications about the device buthe did provide a specific price i.e. 59 (approx. Rs 4,200). Considering thatthis is a price bracket for smartphones, the company might introduce somemodifications or just sell it as a limited edition item.

Along with the 3310, the company is looking forward to makeits presence felt in the Android universe with three other phones, Nokia 3,Nokia 5 and Nokia 6.

Nokia 6 has already seen the light of the day in a launchevent in China last month and even made a surprise visit e-Bay in India. Thedevice has a 5.5 Inch HD display powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 which issupported by 4 GB of RAM. On the camera front, the phone houses a 16MegaPixelrear camera 8 MegaPixel front facing snapper. The rear panel also houses a 3000mAh battery unit.

Nokia has been facing a tough time since the launch ofsmartphones in the communication sector. The company worked with its Symbian OSwhich eventually, failed to keep up with competition from Android and iOS. Thecompany was then bought by Microsoft which also gave up on the brand afterstruggling with the Windows Lumia line-up.

After many rounds of selling and purchasing, the brand isfinally making a comeback. Nokia's newest devices will now runon Android operating system and has a more conventional metal and glasscomposition. So far, the device has a promising buyer-base which heavily relieson the nostalgia the brand offers. However, if the company fails to producedevices that can live up to the brand name, it might end up losing itscredibility in massive flood of smartphone manufacturers from all over theworld.
