Another reboot?
That's what I thought. They have already relaunched 3310 few years back.
The problem is the previous one only has 2G, and the 2G networks will soon be shut down, hence why they're making a 4G version.
They put out 3G and 4G models of the 3210 and 8110 in 2017 and 2018. But yeah it's probably time to refresh as most of the 3G networks have been sunsetted.
An easy cashgrab, perhaps?
The previous reboot was a marketing stunt. The Nokia factory was acquired by Microsoft and the thing they made is actually pretty nice. It supports WhatsApp, maps, snake, etc
