HMD Global is announcing the revival of the iconic feature phone, possibly the Nokia 3210

Nokia’s birthday is in May and this time the company plans to make the celebration even more special. The company that was once among the top players in the market still has fans eagerly awaiting their new phones. Although the company now under HMD Global focuses on smartphones, they still occasionally release feature phones. This strategy has helped Nokia retain its loyal fan base. Now that we are approaching Nokia’s birthday, HMD Global, the parent company behind Nokia has announced a new feature phone. This could be the iconic Nokia 3210 phone, let’s check out the details below.

HMD Global posted on its official X (officially Twitter) announcing an “icon” coming this May. Additionally, the post also has an 8-bit version of a feature phone image. It is clear that the phone is in rich yellow color. In addition, a Web page has been created that shows a heavily blurred image of the upcoming feature phone.

Which iconic Nokia feature phone is making a comeback in May?

The tweet mentions that it will be a returning “icon” and the first thought that comes to mind is that it’s probably the Nokia 3310. It’s undoubtedly an iconic feature phone that has a huge fan base due to its high durability.

However, as we dig deeper into the image, we can see certain things. For example, the 8-bit version of the phone shows a single camera with an LED light below it. In contrast, the Nokia 3310 2017 model had an LED flash located next to the camera, not below it. The company might change the placement of the LED lighting and give it a new touch, but it’s also possible that we’ll get another phone instead of the Nokia 3310 in May.

The tweet was posted on March 18, which is the birthday of the Nokia 3210, another iconic phone. Also, the image posted in the Tweet shows a birthday balloon with him. Since it was the Nokia 3210’s birthday on March 18, it’s a big hint that we might indeed get the Nokia 3210 2024 model. Also, it’s one of the phones that wasn’t resurrected by HMD Global while we already saw the Nokia 3210 is being revived in 2017. With that in mind, the true identity of the returning phone will be revealed in May.
