New Nokia 3310: Everything we know so far

New leaks have surfaced on Nokia 3310's reported comeback, adding credibility to previous rumours. Earlier this month, reports emerged which claimed that a new 2017 version of the iconic Nokia 3310 would be unveiled at the Mobile World Conference (MWC) 2017.

Now a new report from Chinese website Vtech says that the latest rendition of the Nokia 3310 will drop the monochrome screen for a colour display. However, the display is expected to be dumbed down to extend the battery life. 

The 2017 adaptation of the Nokia 3310 is expected to go on sale in the European markets carrying a price tag of €59 (Approximately Rs 4,200). 

The new 3310 iteration is also expected to be skinnier and lighter than the 2000 version. Apart from that, the new 3310 is also expected to be available in a range of colour options like red, green and yellow.

Serial mobile phone tipster Evan Blass says that HMD Global -- the owner of the Nokia branding -- will launch three Nokia headsets alongside the Nokia 3310 at MWC 2017.
