The iconic Nokia 3310 is reportedly making a huge comeback to the phone market at the end of this month at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017; with its price likely to be gargantuan.
Also, Nokia will be launching a number of Android smartphones at the event.
The modern remake of the 17-year-old brick-lick phone will reportedly retail for $63, according to VentureBeat, which first reported on the phone’s relaunch.
It’s no surprise the rumoured relaunch has attracted so much attention; the 3310 model achieved a cult-like status because it was a better, lighter version of its predecessor the 3210, as Techradar put it, which was the first affordable, mass-market Nokia phone.
And let’s not forget its legendary customisable, swappable front and rear panels.
The phone is set to be unveiled in Barcelona, Spain, ahead of the mobile industry conference Mobile World Congress, according to the VentureBeat report.
It’s unclear, however, whether it’ll launch outside Europe.
The 3310 model is reportedly one of four Nokia handsets the Finnish company HMD Global, which has exclusive rights to market phones under the storied Nokia brand, will be announcing at the event.
The Android-powered Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 (which launched in China in January) will reportedly retail for $157, $209, and $260 respectively.
The MWC 2017 starts in Barcelona from February 27 to March 2.
