The Nokia 3310 (2017) is a Nokia-branded feature phone developed by HMD Global. It was announced on 26 February 2017 at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 as a revival of the original Nokia 3310 that was produced from the early 2000s. An improved model with 3G support was released on 29 October 2017.
Launch
On 14 February 2017, it was reported that a modernised version of the 3310 would be unveiled at the 2017 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona by HMD Global Oy, a Finnish manufacturer with rights to market phones under the Nokia brand, with the price point of 59 euros.[3][4] On 26 February 2017, the modernised version of the 3310 was relaunched at a price of €49.[5]
The initial 3310 release only came with support for 2G networks,[6] which led to criticism especially as a number of countries, including the United States,[7] Australia and Singapore[8] were in the process of phasing out their 2G networks; an improved variant of the phone with support for 3G networks was later announced by HMD, released on 29 October 2017.[9]
Functions and design
The 3310 has functions like an FM radio, the Opera Mini web browser, a voice recorder, and a 2-megapixel camera with flash for photos and video recording. The flash LED doubles as a flashlight. Certain models have Bluetooth 3.0 and a dual-SIM tray.[10] The display has a polarized layer for outdoor use.

3G version
The 3G model has many improvements and changes apart from the 3G radio. The internal storage has been increased from 16 MB[11] to 128 MB,[12] and there are some cosmetic changes, including a new silver keypad.[13] It comes in four new colors: yellow, "warm" red, azure and charcoal, all matte.[14] The phone's size has slightly increased (by 13.29%) to ergonomically make typing on the keypad easier. The 3G radio has reduced battery talk time, but slightly increased standby time.[15] All 3310 3G versions support Bluetooth 2.1.[16]

Reception
HMD announced on 2 July 2017 that the 3310 received great demand and was as a result sold out in many markets.[21] UK retailer Carphone Warehouse said on 10 March that demand was "astonishing".[22]
The new 3310 received mixed reviews.
