The largest European manufacturer of smartphones is reviving its classic feature phone, the Nokia 3210, with a modern twist. It has been 25 years since the first Nokia 3210 was launched in 1999.

The updated Nokia 3210 is expected to offer improved features such as Bluetooth and 4G connectivity, along with a redesigned camera module. HMD Global, the manufacturer of Nokia phones, recently launched several new devices in Kenya, including the Nokia 225 4G 2024 model and the HMD Pulse series.

The Nokia 3210 4G is expected to be a rebuilt design over the original Nokia 3210, but some modern enhancements will be included to meet the requirements of today’s customers. One of the most exciting features of the original Nokia 3210 was the snake game, which is expected to return with the new model.

This modernised design will illustrate Nokia's dedication to combining nostalgia with innovation.

The new Nokia 3210 is expected to come with a 1.5-inch backlit LCD with a pixel density of 64 ppi. Earlier, this phone was renowned for its durable build, compact size, and long-lasting battery life. Despite its modest specifications, it became among the most popular phones of its time.
