Nokia 3310 is one phone which people are were emotionally attached with and when smartphones took over, this was probably one of the only phones which people missed for a long time.
The battery life of Nokia phones is still talked about because it was undisputedly the best. The phone, first introduced in 2000, is set to make a comeback at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017 in Barcelona.
The original 3310 was released at the turn of the millennium and quickly became a favourite. HMD Global, the Finnish company that has the rights to use Nokia's brand, may be looking to cash in on this nostalgia.
So I hear the best phone ever is coming back? Looking forward to comparing it to the original. #Nokia3310 pic.twitter.com/Ip9zg5HfCe

In addition to its near-indestructible build, the legendary brickphone’s relatively small 900mAh battery was able to last 55 hours on standby — something modern smartphones struggle to rival.
When released, the 3310 introduced vibration, an extended SMS character limit, screen savers and other features taken for granted on today’s devices.
The popular phone also included four new pre-installed games, including the highly-popular Snake II.
Similar to its predecessor, the 3310 allowed users to chop and change the design of the phone, with both the front and rear covers interchangeable.
Here we bring two videos for you to proving that this was indeed the ‘strongest phone ever made’. In one of the videos, the phone is put to a drop test from 900 feet and believe it or not, the phone was still able to recieve calls. In another video, two guys decided to slice the phone using a sword and guess what? Nothing happened to it!
