The current generation may not comprehend the excitement that the Nokia 3210 and 3310 generated some 25 years back, where the world witnessed a breakthrough in mobile designs sans the antenna which paved way for unique looking devices .
Nokia 3210
The legendary Nokia 3210 returns after 25 years in stunning colours, capturing the mood of the current generation. Ever since the media was shown the Nokia 3210 a few weeks earlier, I have been waiting for the chance to get my hands on the Scuba Blue colour which looks refreshing and cool. Having said that, the Nokia 3210 also comes in Y2K Gold and Grunge Black colour and you cant get wrong with either colours as well.
It is probably safe to say that HMD is at the top when it comes to detox devices and the Nokia 3210 is among its newest offering that gives you a peace of mind, some personal space as well as the opportunity to stay connected with those that matters around you.
The reimagined Nokia 3210 shares some design cues from the OG while packing upgrades that you would appreciate. It now comes with a 2MP camera with flash, a long lasting 1450mAh battery that you need to try hard to kill, and 4G!
Lars Silberbauer, CMO of Human Mobile Devices (HMD), comments: “The Nokia 3210, a cultural icon, is back at the pinnacle of the global dumbphone boom as consumers look to balance their screen time usage with a digital detox. The Nokia 3210 has simplicity at its core, allowing consumers to be totally present. Forget dumbphone, this is 2024’s fun phone.”
A quarter of a century ago the Nokia 3210 was launched. It quickly became a smash hit, and it connected hundreds of millions of people. For 2024 it’s back. Only this time the focus is very much on disconnecting people from their screens

Ben Wood, Founder, Mobile Phone Museum comments: “The original Nokia 3210 has a special place in many consumers’ hearts as one of the best-selling mobile phones of all time. It’s the perfect product to reimage for the modern era given its strong heritage and iconic design. The Nokia 3210 is considered one of the most significant handsets Nokia ever developed and was loved by many for whom it was their first mobile phone. This modern twist on a design classic in its silver jubilee year is bound to grab people’s attention.”
Having reviewed the classic reboots made by HMD, my current favorite is the Nokia 3310 3G which to me is the best reboot till date that stays true to the OG device, and I feel that the Nokia 3210 4G may take that spot soon. I hope to share my personal take on this classic reboot once I get my hands on them, so till then, stay connected athttps://twitter.com/theoriginal086 for more updates on the go.
