Nokia is re-releasing one of its classic mobile phones, the 6310 'brick' to mark 20 years since it was first released in the UK.
HMD Global, makers of Nokia phones, said the device would have the original and iconic silhouette of the classic 6310 with its trademark long battery life.
The phone will come with a copy of the 90s classic mobile game Snake, and a sturdy form factor that gave it the nickname 'the brick' when it first came out in 2001.
There will be 'subtle changes' to mark the passing of 20 years of technological evolution, including bigger buttons and a zoomed in menu for ease of reading.
It comes with a larger 2.8 inch 320x240 pixel screen, compared to the 1.8 inch 120x160 pixel screen found on the original and is on sale for £59.99.

Nokia says the new version of its iconic device, beloved of teenagers when it was first released for its reliability, long battery life and sturdy form, will also include a wireless FM radio.
'That yearning for nostalgia makes the new Nokia 6310 the perfect tonic,' a Nokia spokesperson explained, talking about the anniversary release.
The new handset has been 'refreshed and reinvented,' to match modern needs.
This includes a larger screen and buttons, making it easier to read messages and connect with loved ones, Nokia says.
'With the Nokia 6310, it is all fun and games,' the firm said, adding 'you can listen to your favourite news channels, sports games, or music stations on the go with reliable connectivity or play an intense game of Snake!'
One thing Nokia hasn't changed is the battery, with the new device lasting weeks between charges, just like the original.
In fact, it can go a whopping 21 days between charges if left on standby!
The phone charges using a MicroUSB cable and can run for 19 hours on battery when being actively used in a call, according to Nokia's website.
The Nokia 6310 was first launched in 2001, updated to the 6310i in 2002 and finally discontinued in 2005 with the release of the Nokia 6230 and others.
The original came with a 1.8 inch screen, whereas the new version will include a much larger 2.8 inch screen.
