Concept designer imagines what the new Nokia 3310 could end up looking like

THE Nokia 3310 is coming back from the dead, and a concept designer thinks they know what the must-have handset will end up looking like.

Ever since news broke that the iconic mobile was being remade, Nokia fans have been excitedly waiting to see what the reborn phone would look like.

And although details about the 3310's return haven't been released yet, a design studio has taken a stab at what the reborn handset will probably look like.

Concept Creator released a video showcasing a vision of the upcoming Nokia phone, which is a throwback to a simpler time when Snake was the only app anyone ever needed.

And with a long-lasting battery and unbreakable casing, it's not hard to see why people would look back in time when choosing their next mobile.

This unofficial concept video imagines a phone which stays true to the original mobile's style and simplicity, with only minor tweaks to reflect the changes in mobile technology since the 3310's heyday.

The video envisages only a couple of key changes to the original Nokia 3310, including the addition of an LED screen and a camera.

These changes mean the handset may end up being slightly chunkier than it used to be, although with an estimated £50 price point it still won't break the bank.
