Human Mobile Devices (HMD) is reportedly working on a modern version of the Nokia 3210. Originally launched in 1999, it is a durable and bulky feature phone with an internal antenna and T9 predictive text.

The Nokia 3210 had changeable covers and let users choose from 40 monophonic ringtones. It had a black and green 1.5-inch backlit monochromatic LCD screen and weighed somewhere around 150 grams, making it slightly lighter than most modern smartphones.

The phone came pre-installed with three games-Snake, Memory and Rotation. Some versions of the phone even had hidden games that could be activated using special software and using a data cable.

According to a recent report by Nokiamob, a Finish outlet named Gigantti may have accidentally leaked the modern version of the Nokia 3210. The upcoming phone will come in two colours—cyan and yellow—and will be available for purchase on May 8.

While the product listing is now down, the publication said the upcoming phone will be priced at around 89 Euros. It is still unclear if HMD would bring it to other parts of the world. Recently, at a trade show, the company put up a teaser that was quickly taken down. However, Nokia fanboys were quick to notice that the upcoming feature phone would have a ‘retro interface’ and get old-school games like Snake.

It might also get a microSD card slot along with Bluetooth and 4G connectivity. The report also suggests the new Nokia 3210 will have USB-C charging and come with a 1,450mAh battery.

In the last couple of years, since HMD acquired Nokia, the company has been re-launching some iconic phones like the Nokia 2660 Flip (review), another feature phone that can help you reduce your smartphone usage or go on a digital detox.
