Nokia 3310 to make a comeback! - This time as an aluminium-bodied Android

<p>Nokia, the once undisputed king of the global mobile handset market is planning to bring back its classic model Nokia 3310 in a brand new aluminium-body avatar.&nbsp; An update representing a distinctly turn of the millennium flavour, Nokia 6 will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) to be held in Barcelona from February 27-March 2, 2017. <br /><br />The news of the Finnish company planning a launch of its new handset with the same name- Nokia 3310- has stirred up a lot of nostalgia among today&rsquo;s mobile phone users who once have had a humble start with the sturdy model back in 2000.&nbsp; It is this nostalgia that HMD Global Oy is looking to cash on. <br /><br /><img style="vertical-align: middle; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.alcircle.com/uploads/images/Nokia3310.jpg" alt="News" width="517" height="226" />The new Nokia 3310, just like its much loved predecessor, is reportedly going to be a feature phone focusing on the absolute basics. With sturdy yet stylish aluminium built, it will cost &euro;59 (roughly INR 4,200) and will be positioned for the growing number of low-end Android smartphone users in the Asia Pacific region. The USP for the phone once again is going to be its long-lasting battery. <br /><br />{googleAdsense}<br /><br />HMD Global plans to launch 3 more mobile handsets along with aluminium-bodies Nokia 3310 at the MWC. The Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 will compete directly in the low-end Android smartphone segment and Nokia 6 will be positioned at the higher-end category.&nbsp; The company expects to see a huge boost in its sales volume post Nokia 3310 launch, which has already recorded an unprecedented 1.4 million registrations by interested buyers via China&rsquo;s e-commerce website JD.com.</p>
