Nokia 3310 (2017) fans eagerly awaiting the launch of the modern iteration of the classic phone may not have to wait much longer, at least in India. The Nokia 3310 India launch details, along with those of Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and Nokia 3, are expected to be announced by HMD Global at an event it is hosting in New Delhi on Monday, May 8. The event invite only mentions “a conversation with Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer, HMD Global,” and does not give any particular details. However, with the feature phone and Nokia Android phones scheduled to launch in the second quarter, and May already upon us, it is widely expected that HMD Global will announce the phones' India launch details at the May 8 event, if not the price.

In an interview with Gadgets 360 after the MWC 2017 launch of the four phones, Sarvikas said the Nokia Android handsets’ design and software updates will be the real differentiators for buyers, not just the specifications. The new Nokia 3310, on the other hand, was described by him as "less of a rational product”, adding that that it came straight from the heart.

At the MWC 2017 Nokia launch event, the company announced that the new Nokia 3310 and Android smartphones will be launched in markets such as India, Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Europe in the second quarter. With April already over and the India launch event on May 8, Nokia’s range of smartphones and the new feature phone can be expected to hit the market any time after mid-May.

Of the four Nokia phones, the feature phone enjoys the most popularity, primarily because of the nostalgia fans have for the original Nokia 3310. In fact, an online retailer in India has already started taking pre-orders for Nokia 3310 (2017), but HMD Global has confirmed the listing to be unofficial. In this listing, which mentions no launch date and only has the ‘Coming Soon’ tag, the Nokia 3310 price in India is Rs. 3,899. At the official MWC 2017 launch, the feature phone’s price was announced as EUR 49, which translates to roughly Rs. 3,500.
