Remember the thrill of customizing your Nokia 3210 with a new case, crafting your own ringtone, and battling your way through Snake? HMD Global, the current steward of the Nokia brand, is rekindling that nostalgia with a modern take on the iconic phone in 2024.
This reimagining marks the 25th anniversary of the original 3210, a phone that sold a remarkable 160 million units and became synonymous with durability, affordability, and pure fun. The return caters perfectly to the growing “dumbphone” trend, offering an escape from the relentless notifications and pressures of smartphones.

While staying true to the classic design, the 2024 version gets some tech upgrades. Expect a slightly larger color screen (2.4 inches compared to the original 1.5 inches), a basic two-megapixel camera, and a modern USB-C charging port. It'll keep you connected with 4G compatibility and even allow storage expansion via a microSD card.
Most importantly, yes, the legendary Snake game will be there to devour your free time once again.

The new Nokia 3210, priced at £75 (US$93.65), arrives in three retrofuturistic colorways: Grunge Black, Scuba Blue, and Y2K Gold.
This isn’t HMD Global’s first foray into nostalgia. For years, it’s reintroduced beloved models, tapping into a desire for simpler times. In today’s hyper-connected world, the ability to disconnect from social media and endless notifications has become an incredible allure.
