Nokia 3210 - The 2024 Reboot! | Best New Feature Phone?
Ғылым және технология
Unboxing the new Nokia 3210 4G, rebooted for 2024, 25 years after the original feature phone was released! The updated Nokia 3210 4G includes a full-colour screen, S30 Plus OS and new versions of Snake etc. You've got simple internet access, an MP3 player, 2MP camera and more! Here's a hands-on review of the new Nokia 3210 2024, and for more please subscribe.
The first feature phone from the late 90s was one of the best classic mobiles of its time, and now HMD has paid homage with this reboot. For £75, you get a fully featured dumb phone, with basic music playing and camera abilities. You can access the internet using 4G on the Nokia 3210 2024, but there's no WiFi support.
Music fans can copy some MP3s onto this dumb phone to listen to on the move, or else there's also FM radio support. And yes there's a camera, but frankly it's best used to take simple profile pics or something. The Nokia 3210 4G certainly isn't a Galaxy S24 for photography!
Are you tempted by this feature phone for under £100? Let us know your thoughts on the Nokia 3210 4G below and stay tuned for more HMD smartphone reviews!

When I retired I threw my nauseating apple gear away and threw away my watch, bought a Nokia and never enjoyed life more, I can talk to people, get texts and a charge lasts a fortnight, love my Nokia and love my life.

I think I’d really like a feature phone like this but with some more modern capabilities. A limited but carefully curated set of actually good features would make this a compelling device. A great camera, some music streaming apps, and a richer RCS texting experience would be intriguing.

Don't need to hire anyone I am the real thing age 74 my 2nd ever phone was a 3210. A lost joy is the looking for new cases. You could buy new cases for the front and back to totally change its look.
It is gratifying to observe your analysis. I am genuinely astonished that they have launched a 2024 edition. I still have several of the original Nokia 3210s in my possession, and remarkably, they continue to function. The battery life of those devices was truly exceptional, effortlessly enduring an entire day.
I reckon the nostalgia hit would last about ten minutes. Then it would be in the man drawer for the next 25 years.

So glad it’s now usb-c . I shall get one of these for the nostalgia… I was born in the 80s . Feeling old ….
I still have the original first release with a new battery. It has the circular power jack and the charger still works. The problem is, it has a GSM dual-band radio - we now call it 2G - and, since the 3G masts have all been turned off very recently, the 2G is so congested that has become difficult to make a call. As 2G isn't a data packet system like 4G and 5G but it is time-multiplexed, a 2G mast - today as 25 years ago - can only manage about 30 concomitant phone calls. So it is time to go and buy the 2024 edition with a 4G connection. Thank you for the review! Anthony

It was not exactly cheap. The price back then was around $130, which corresponds to about $210 today (using a conservative inflation rate). Compare this to the 2024 model, which is offered for around $80.
How is the quality of telephone calls and is the reception good? Other basic nokia models are woeful at both. How about this one? Thanks.

Question is, can you fuck it at the wall like the old 3210 and still be working afterwards? Does it have the cover swap option?, nothing provokes nostalgia like clutching a creaky phone because the tolerances went out the window when you started breaking it apart for a cheesy cover change.
It was my first bought phone too. Brings back memories. Used to chat in Facebook with my first love.

Thanks for this video! I'm one of these digital minimalists who love carrying around a dumbphone whenever I can. However, I find these modern so-called Nokia devices really disappointing, and I wish your review covered some of the common daily life scenarios, where unfortunately, the rebooted Nokias show absolutely disastrous lack of quality. Have you actually tried pairing any Bluetooth device and using it with 8210's music player? It works worse than cheap no-label phones from China - disconnects, interrupts the audio... The UI is much worse than my 15 y.o. Nokia Xpress music, in almost any part of the system. I feel the same nostalgia, but before HMD actually makes any effort to make these devices functional - they're not worth your money and the carbon footprint, and should be pushed more by influencers to seriously answer the minimalist niche... which at this point they're using to sell almost unusable nostalgia toys.

Just watching you was fully worth going through the memories of having this phone. 😄 Oh yeah! Being a computer engineer I had to sit at work all night in case any clients had Y2K issues. It was a snooze fest. 😅
I love you mention the 128MB storage and 2MP camera, my AGM M9 has a 0.3MP camera and 32MB storage so its even better spec wise than what I use everyday. I just ordered an original nokia 1100B though as its 850MHZ GSM and will still work with Rogers carrier here in Canada so I can have some real nostalgia.
Where did you actually get it? I have been looking for where to buy it in the states. I had the original myself and have only used dumbphones since then and NONE of them compare to my old Nokia I loved. I have been trying to find this reboot version but no stores have it yet, that I can tel..
Does it support mobile hotspot?
The camera bit is a totally lovely addition.
Can this be used as a wifi hotspot? Looking for something to replace my old travel phone that i tend to hotspot off.
Love this review! Hahaha! So funny!
This was my first phone in 1999 and now I’m thinking of going back to it
I used the original one as my first phone in 2005. It was the best thing. Solid build, simple UI and long lasting battery.
my second phone was a 3310 3G (*my first was an old 105 from 2012 lol) and I'm somewhat disappointed in how similar the 2 phones are despite being released 6 years apart, doesn't even come with a pair of headphones in the box :/ At least with these types of phones, they are great for running and emulating classic games like Tetris, Bounce Tales and Doodle Jump (not really a classic but a good port nonetheless) which you can find online albeit some compatibility issues they will also run faster than on their original phones, just plop in an SD card with the games into your phone and find them in the folder to install and run. Have fun!
I thought this was cool nostalgic until you mentioned 25 years. Bro I feel it too😂
Accessibility question: Does it have TTS (a la Google Talk or Voiceover)?
These look so cool but sadly looking at their supported bands, they wouldn't work for me here in Canada

My first ever mobile phone, in orange, given to me by a friend about 20 years ago. Sadly, he died of a heart attack a couple of years ago. The phone long since stopped working... but still got it and will never get rid of it. RIP.
