Ever since HMD Global got the license to manufacture and sell phones under the Nokia brand, the Finnish company has made it a tradition to revive classic models by relaunching them with modern features such as 4G and support for certain “smart features”.
The first of the relaunched classics is the Nokia 3310 which comes in 2G, 3G, and 4G versions. It also relaunched the Nokia 8810 “Banana Phone” in 2018, the Nokia 2720 last year, and the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic early this year. New info has now revealed that more classic phones are coming soon.
According to the German tech blog, Winfuture, HMD Global’s next classic phones to revive are the Nokia 6300 and Nokia 8000. That info has been backed up by details found on the site of a Danish carrier called Telia whose list of devices with support for Wi-Fi calling include the yet-to-be-announced Nokia 6300 4G and Nokia 8000 4G.
The Nokia 6300 which was originally launched in 2007, was a Series 40 phone with steel plates that ensured it could take a beating. It also had a color screen, MicroSD card slot, and a 2MP camera.
The Nokia 8000, on the other hand, is expected to be a new model in Nokia’s premium 8*** series from the 90s which includes the Nokia 8800 Sirocco which had a sapphire-coated glass covering the display, a slide-out cover for the keypad, and a 2MP camera. The slider design was a common feature of the series, so there is a high chance that the Nokia 8000 4G will also have it.
We expect these two new phones will be launched before the end of the year and most likely in Europe before other regions. They should arrive alongside its anticipated Nokia 6.3 and Nokia 7.3 smartphones.
