After nearly 25 years, the iconic Nokia 3210 is making a comeback, blending nostalgia with modern technology. Originally launched in 1999, the Nokia 3210 was a groundbreaking device that captivated millions with its innovative design and features like the first internal antenna and customizable covers. It became a cultural phenomenon, selling over 160 million units globally. Now, HMD Global has reintroduced this legendary phone with a contemporary twist. Priced at ₹6,500 in India, the new Nokia 3210 retains its classic charm while incorporating modern functionalities such as 4G connectivity, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, and a 2-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash. Available in three stylish colors—White-to-Gold, Cuba Blue, and Grunge Black—the device aims to appeal to both nostalgic users and those seeking simplicity in today’s fast-paced digital world.

The revamped Nokia 3210 offers a mix of old-school appeal and practical upgrades. Equipped with a 1450mAh battery, it promises extended talk time of up to 9.8 hours on a single charge. The phone supports dual SIM functionality, includes an FM radio, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port for charging. Additionally, it comes with expandable storage via a microSD card slot (up to 32GB) and features classic games like Snake to evoke fond memories. Experts believe this release taps into the growing trend of “digital detox,” where users seek refuge from smartphone overload by opting for simpler devices. While opinions vary about its market acceptance in the age of smartphones, the return of the Nokia 3210 has undeniably reignited excitement among fans of the original model, bringing back the magic of the late ’90s.
