Nokia returns to the past with new phones
<p>It's a brick phone, but not as you may remember it.</p>
<p>Nokia has revealed its new-look 3310 mobile phone alongside three new Android models launching this year.</p>
<p>The new old phone features the original Nokia ringtone and the popular Snake game, the "Angry Birds" of its day.</p>
<p>The phones are due to arrive in the next few months but the Nokia 3310 won't work on the Spark network.</p>
<p>That's because the 3310 uses 2G cellphone technology as opposed to 3G and 4G found on modern smartphones.</p>
<p>Nokia didn't disappoint, although it announced the new 3310 would be a "feature phone", rather than a smartphone, with limited internet capability, BBC reported. It will run on Nokia's Series 30+ software, offering fewer apps.</p>
<p>The new incarnation is thinner and lighter than the original, with a 2.4-inch QVGA display. It will be available in four colours: a glossy warm red or yellow, or matte dark blue or grey.</p>
<p>And while the phone features 16MB of storage space, or up to 32GB with a microSD card, and its battery will last up to a month on standby, its camera is rather basic, at just 2MP.</p>
<p>The original 3310 sold 126 million phones, the 12th best-selling phone model in history. Nine of the top 12 selling models were produced by Nokia.</p>
<p>For those who don't fancy time-travelling, Nokia also unveiled three modern Android smartphones, the Nokia 6 with a 5.5-inch screen, the Nokia 5 with a 5.2-inch screen and the Nokia 3 with a 5.0-inch screen.</p>
<p>The company will roll out the Nokia 6 globally. It was previously only available in China.</p>
<p>The Nokia 6 will have 64GB of storage, enhanced audio, and a 16MP primary camera and 8MP selfie camera.</p>
<p>What do you think of these new (or old) type of mobile phone?</p>
