The 3210 isn't Nokia's only retro phone, Nokia has launched the "Revival Family", which also includes the Nokia 8210 4G phone that "went back to 1999" and the Nokia 5710 phone that "went back" to 2007. The Nokia 220 4G phone is a new one, with a large 2.8-inch screen.
Many people buy Nokia 3210 4G because they want to revisit the classics. However, today's Nokia is completely different from the Nokia of the past, but it retains its name. Since selling its Devices & Services business to Microsoft in 2014, Nokia has pulled out of the smartphone market. Subsequently, in 2016, the Nokia brand was licensed to HMD.
