The Nokia 3310 ‘will be relaunched at MWC 2017

Nokia 3310 is one of the hardiest handsets ever made and it might just have been the first mobile phone you 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 out reliable leak reporter, who has spoken to a person briefed on the plans.

The original 3310 gained legendary status for being near-indestructible. Despite going on sale 17 years ago, some handsets are still up and running.

Dave Mitchell, a former soldier, told the Sun earlier 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.

It’s set be a hit with Nokia diehards who want a reliable second mobile to complement their smartphone – or anyone obsessed by Snake.
