Comparing the Nokia 3210 (1999) vs the Nokia 3210 (2024) is an interesting experience. Naturally you could enjoy music on your 1999 model — if your genre happened to be monophonic ringtones.
Meanwhile, while some niche phones were playing with cameras on-board (Sharp’s J-SH04 and Kyocera’s VP-210 — those were the days), it would be another three years before Nokia squeezed a camera into the Nokia 7650 and sent us down the path of convergence — everything in one device.
What the Nokia 3210 did well was being an actual mobile phone, and one that most people could afford and enjoy (and did — more than 160 million units were sold worldwide).
Bringing Snake to the masses also helped people fall in love with their trusty device, and kickstarted us towards staring at your phone for hours at a time.
And if you got bored of Snake, you could play with the calculator.
Here’s What You Can Do With the Nokia 3210 2024
With the exception of a USB-C port, you really could be looking at a phone from 1999, but HMD has not forgotten the year we are in, and you are not cut off from the world.
Bluetooth 5.0 makes sure your earbuds are not lost to time, and the Nokia 3210 gives back what Apple took away — the trusty 3.5mm headphone jack.Speaking of features the smartphone industry took from us, the removable battery is back, although if the 2024 Nokia is anything like its forefathers, battery life should be a non-issue (HMD claims a shade under 10 hours talk-time from a single charge).
Why Would I Buy a Nokia 3210 Mobile Phone in 2024?
There are two main reasons you might want to buy a Nokia phone in 2024 (with regard to the 3210): for plain old nostalgia or because you want to decrease your dependence on smartphones.

The Nokia 3210 may also find a market with older generations who do not need to work their way around the shiny, expensive computers-in-your-pocket. Sometimes, you just want to be able to make a call and send a text.
