HMD Global brought back Nokia brand from the brink of death by launching Nokia 6 earlier this year before unveiling its feature phone Nokia 3310 (2017) along with Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Many might not see the Nokia 3310 (2017) coming at a time when all major OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) were busy making smartphones, both budget and high-end, but it did and managed to grab lots of attention.
The Nokia 3310 (2017) is finally set to hit the stores weeks after the Nokia 6, Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 were made available in select countries. It is confirmed that the feature phone (SIM-free and unlocked version) will first come to the UK on May 24 for £49.99 and Germany on May 26 for €59.99.
