Old is Gold: Nokia brings 3310 back with 41 MP Camera

Nokia-3310  The most successful phone ever, the Nokia 3310 is going to be re-made by Nokia.
Initially launched in 2000, Nokia sold more than 125 million units of its original Nokia 3310 handset.
Now, the remake of Nokia 3310 will result into a similar design comprising of three inch screen, but with altogether different internals. Nokia 3310 will run on a dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and 32GB of on-board storage into a case that mimics the original size (113 x 48 x 22mm) and weight (133g).

Nokia 3310 will boost a 41MP PureView camera with Zeiss optics and Xenon flash, and will run a modified version of Windows 8 to fit ‘ClearDiamond’ three-inch touch screen.
Three ‘soft-touch’ navigation keys still feature a Windows Phone ‘home’ button has been introduced to you straight back to the Start Screen.
Nokia 3310 will come with LiveTiles and App Folders. MS Office, Xbox Games, Outlook and OneDrive that offers 7GB free cloud storage out of the box will come pre-installed.
Phone will feature original monophonic ringtones.

okia 3310 will be available in classic metallic dark blue, yellow, blue, red and green.
Phone will be available in few weeks with 3G connectivity, while another version that will support LTE will be launched later this year. Pricing details are unknown yet.

Demonstration of StoreDot's battery  
The demo showed off a much larger battery than could eventually be incorporated in phones



A battery that can charge in under 30 seconds has been shown off at a technology conference in Tel Aviv.
Israeli start-up StoreDot displayed the device - made of biological structures - at Microsoft's Think Next Conference.
A Samsung S4 smartphone went from a dead battery to full power in 26 seconds in the demonstration.
The battery is currently only a prototype and the firm predicts it will take three years to become a commercially viable product.
In the demonstration, a battery pack the size of a cigarette packet was attached to a smartphone.
"We think we can integrate a battery into a smartphone within a year and have a commercially ready device in three years," founder Dr Dorn Myersdorf told the BBC.
The bio-organic battery utilises tiny self-assembling nano-crystals that were first identified in research being done into Alzheimer's disease at Tel Aviv University 10 years ago.
The nano-dots are described by StoreDot as "stable, robust spheres" that are 2.1 nanometers in diameter and made up of peptide molecules.
The technology has a range of uses, founder Dr Myersdorf said.
"Batteries are just one of the industries we can disrupt with this new material. It is new physics, new chemistry, a new approach to devices," he said.
The team has also used the nano-crystals in memory chips which could write three times faster than traditional flash memory and as a non-toxic alternative to cadmium in screens.
Dr Myersdorf said that the batteries are likely to be 30 to 40% more expensive to manufacture compared to traditional ones and the final product will be twice as expensive than those on the market today.
But making them should be a relatively easy process.
"It is about letting nature take its course. We just need a facility that can do chemical processing," he said.
