Nokia has resurrected the iconic Nokia 3310 phone, one of the best-selling feature phones of all time.
The phone was launched along three other new phones—the new Nokia 6, Nokia, 5, and Nokia 3.
The new range of Nokia smartphones, launched by Nokia licensee HMD Global at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, all run Android Nougat and will all feature Google Assistant.
“What HMD has created is remarkable. We’re excited to see the launch of a new family of smartphones, built to the standards that Nokia is known for,” says Brad Rodrigues, interim President of Nokia Technologies. “We believe that their strong design and quality will appeal to Nokia fans around the world, and the return of the Nokia 3310 has us smiling too!”
It was also announced that the world-renowned game Snake will be snaking its way back into people’s hearts with a new version available to play on Messenger, part of Facebook’s Instant Games cross platform experience. The new free Snake game is designed to be played with groups of friends.
