Nokia launched three new Android smartphones on Sunday and unveiled a revamped version of its iconic 3310 model more than a decade after it was phased out.
Finnish start-up HMD Global will produce the phone under a licensing agreement with Nokia and unveiled the phone and its latest features.
Launched in 2000, Nokia’s original 3310 sold nearly 12 crore units worldwide before it was discontinued in 2005, and was one of the world’s best-selling mobile phones.
