The Nokia 3210 cellphone has been modernized and revived by HMD in celebration of the device's 25th anniversary to give consumers a retro way to stay connected. The mobile phone follows on the design language of the original from 1999, but is modernized with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, 2MP rear camera with flash, 4G LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 5.0, a USB-C port and more. The cellphone has dual-SIM slots, the classic Snake game and a removable 1,450mAh battery that's rated to provide up to 9.8-hours of talk time.
The Nokia 3210 cellphone is priced at £75 to give it a very cost-conscious profile when compared against modern smartphones and comes in three color options including Y2K Gold, Scuba Blue and Grunge Black.
