The iconic Nokia 3310, is reborn with a modern twist on design.
The new phone is thin, light and incredibly durable, according to HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones.
The manufacturer said in a statement that the Nokia 3310 is a head turning modern twist on one of the best-selling feature phones of all time.
Boasting an incredible 22-hour talk-time and month long stand-by, the Nokia 3310’s fresh, colourful, modern design brings it bang up to date.
“Nokia phones stir real emotions; people know them for their beautiful design and craftsmanship, together with a built-to-last quality that you can rely on. Our new portfolio combines these classic Nokia hallmarks with a best-in-class Android performance and a new level of craftsmanship. For the Nokia 3310 we just couldn’t resist,” Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer of HMD Global, said.
He added that the company wanted to reward loyal Nokia phone fans and make a statement that rich heritage, innovation and modern design can go hand-in-hand.
Fundamentally, it is about making sure that right across our portfolio we are delivering this pure Nokia experience.

“Nokia has been one of the most iconic and recognisable phone brands globally for decades. In the short time since HMD was launched into the market, the positive reception we’ve had has been overwhelming; it seems everyone shares our excitement for this next chapter,” Arto Nummela, CEO of HMD Global, said.

Iconic Snake game is back and available on Messenger
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 making it even more playable than the first time around.
Snake first featured on Nokia handsets in the late 90s and since then has appeared on over 400 million phones. Users will no longer have to dig out their old handsets to get their nostalgia fix, instead HMD Global invites the world to unite through the free game and challenge friends to play, using Facebook’s Instant Games platform.
In keeping with the original game, players will move the snake around the screen, eating apples and bugs along the way to score points. The more the snake eats, the longer it grows, making it more challenging to control. There are six levels to enjoy, each with a different layout and snake skin. Gamers can choose from three speeds; the higher the speed, the higher the score. In addition, friends either one-on-one, or as a group can see who has the highest score on the leaderboard adding an element of friendly competition.
