Nokia finally took the wraps off the Nokia 3310 at the Mobile World Congress. HMD Global, the Finnish company with the exclusive rights to market the Nokia brand, has released a revamped version of the classic phone. The refreshed ‘Nokia 3310’ has the same styling as the original model but comes with a full colour screen and slimmer build. It’s a feature phone and its purpose is limited to calls and tests. Oh yes, you can play Snake too. Other than the 3310, HMD Global also announced three Android phones releasing under the Nokia brand name. The Nokia 3, 5 and 6 are budget smartphones, priced from just €139 (or approx Rs 9728).
BlackBerry
BlackBerry made its presence felt at MWC 2017 with the official launch of its newest Android smartphone, the KeyOne. It features a 4.5-inch, 3:2-aspect screen and BlackBerry’s signature physical keyboard below it. There’s also a 3505mAh battery, 12-megapixel rear camera and is powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor.
The physical keyboard is the main selling point of BlackBerry KeyOne.
LG
LG took a bold step in to the future with the release of the G6 smartphone. It comes with a 5.7-inch 18:9 display that is taller than usual. Thanks to the reduced bezels, the G6 has the footprint of a 5.2-inch phone. It is also the first smartphone to support Dolby Vision HDR which results in better contract and a wider colour gamut for video playback. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 821 processor, which is paired with 4GB of RAM. It is also resistant to dust and water and there’s a 3,300mAh battery. The G6 has a dual camera system.

While Samsung didn’t announce the Galaxy S8 in Barcelona; instead, we got to see the unveiling of two new tablets: the Galaxy Tab S3 and the Galaxy Book. The Galaxy Tab S3 runs Android and is seen as a rival to the iPad Pro. It features a high definition display and ships with the S Pen stylus. The Galaxy Book, meanwhile, is a powerful Windows 10 tablet. Coming in two screen sizes, it will also ship with the S Pen. The tablet is aimed at the enterprise market.
