Nokia 3310 is mother of today's phone. It was successor of Nokia 3210. Nokia announced Nokia 3210 in 1999 which wasn't sold in India but 3310 which was announced in 2000[globally] came in India. It was a single sim phone with internal antenna after its predecessor Nokia 3210. It had a pure monochrome display with 84 x 48 pixel. It supported Dynamic Font size, Screensaver, welcome messages. Its memory was of 8 records for last dialed, received & missed calls. It supported saving templates for messaging. There was support for high vibration & monophonic ringtones. Ringtone volume level & Nokia's generic ringtone still rings in everyone's mind after listening word Nokia. It had 4 games which we enjoyed when we were kids:p. Snake II, Pairs II, Space Impact, Bantumi were those games which were available in all Nokia Phones. Nokia 3310 made a benchmark of its features & those features are now said to basic features which we expect to be a modern phone :v . Chatting through SMS, picture messages, Predictive Text Input, Calculator, Profiles [silent, meeting, outdoor, normal, customized] & a currency convertor. The battery in 3310 was 1000mAh which sound less for modern phones but gave standby time of 50hrs to 250hrs.

The cool part of that model was user exchangeable covers which gave it customized look. It was exchangeable but tough build quality :skull:. It was such solid built phone which gave rise to jokes/memes on online communities.

So what if same NOKIA 3310 comes back ;). Its back with specs of today's generation phones but with its legacy. It will be now sold under Nokia branding by HMD Global. HMD Global is brand by Former Nokia Employees who joined Microsoft Mobile & few left & joined others. They came back & formed HMD Global which own's Microsoft Mobile's Feature Phone business.

I feel it's good come back by Nokia but not worth coz people need something affordable & durable. Still the indian prices aren't confirmed. Let's hope for more cheaper coz 4k INR for a feature phones is too much coz we have 4g + VoLTE smartphones at 3k INR. But it's NOKIA comes in my mind again & again.

Most dumbest thing done by Nokia. Who gets this type of phones now? And for this price? Also their new Android phones also has low specs compared to the price tag.
Weird! But this was the same thing that Nokia did before.
