Nokia 3210 4G Review: Perfect for Basic Needs or Not?

[@CarnivoreChris89]

Got mine a few days ago, super happy with it! I use my smartphone at home over the wifi, and go outside into the real world with this 3210 4G. (Sweden)

[@fedmeister6771]

That's what I do. My old smartphone is used as a mini tablet on WiFi. When I'm out Id rather concentrate on the real world so take my Nokia dumb phone.

[@qwabXD]

@@fedmeister6771 Can you hotspot with it? Id like to use my smart phone for spotify when I'm out (i guess like an ipod?)

[@karlgreene2177]

I use a 2017 2G 3310 as my main phone and a tablet for the internet.

[@ancalagon0216]

Omg I JUST discovered this phone’s existence an hour ago and here you go posting this 16 mins ago!!! Perfect timing!!!!

[@emelabasbalabagan2746]

😱 OMG

[@bill4123]

What's worse than Jose saying "This device does not work with Verizon"?... "This device does not work in the US."

[@JoseBriones]

That is facts. I hope they bring one of these to the US

[@aldrienjosephcubillas770]

This is pretty much the go-to channel for anything dumb phone on KZbin. One of my favorites on the app for sure

[@mohamedmostafa-yk4wu]

A bit expensive for what it offers

[@ringochrist2007]

If it does not have the texting bug of the 8210 4g, I might get this 3210 4g. Nostalgic for me since my first mobile phone was the OG 3210

[@midhunkjairaj4124]

I want you to compare all newly released 4g Nokia phones 4G speed . Thanks for review jos

[@JoseBriones]

They all have the same operating system and work the same. The only difference is design

[@StealthBoi.]

Hope it comes to India. India has a Big Feature Phone market and I also want to stepdown and use it for digital detox

[@chesterbtan]

Thank you for your video. My pre-order of the 3210 was cancelled by the shopping app so I'm now looking at 325 4g since internally it's the same. One thing that 325 I wish that it would have is the island keys.

[@idib1739]

No Whatsapp is a plus in my book. thanks for the video Jose👍

[@raymondvillareal7680]

Great video, Jose. Love Nokia and sad this one isnt US compatible. Did you see the updated Minimal company phones? Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@JoseBriones]

I did see the update. I'll be doing a livestream next week to talk about updates on the dumbphone market :)

[@user-ur1mr7yx6d]

Annoying that those buyable games cannot be deleted. Otherwise it would be perfect new dumbphone for me.

[@porvoonosho]

They have to make money somehow.

[@spretten]

i'm confused, which one of the nokia 225 4g you have there, had the bungled SMS timestamps? The blue or the dark one?

[@emmavandevreugde2591]

Thanks for this review! I wonder, is this phone good enough to display the ticketmaster e-tickets? This seems ideal for a festival, but I need to get in first of course :)

[@JoseBriones]

It won’t be able to do ticket master. Sorry. You can print your confirmation, go to the events ticket resolution area, and they should let you in :)

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

These callback phones seem to repeat the issues of last good Nokia phones and refuse to innovate, no functions for today like photographing documents or displaying tickets, because they stick to identical out-of-date features like they were the rotary phone nostalgia, including under 3 Mpix camera.

[@in-tuition-fj9840]

Hi Jose the link provided to shop is in pounds. Does this mean is the European version? I read that the European and Chinese version lack one or two apps. Thank you for your time.

[@JoseBriones]

Yes. The link is for the European version

[@in-tuition-fj9840]

@@JoseBriones thank you Jose!

[@julianasbatarginas8188]

I'm disappointed the Europe version doesn't have cloud apps

[@eromoseleodanlumen2700]

How many contacts can I save on the 3210 phonebook??

[@mariafranciscacruzjara1967]

Hey Jose! I'm so happy with you content, i'been looking for reviews like yours. Im from Chile, i'd like to know if you recommend any KAIOS Nokia to buy and that work with the companies (i think that it has to be global version or something like that) Almost every dumbphone that i've seen in your channel are not avalible in Chile so... would you give me an advice please? I'm looking for a basic one with just whatsapp and google maps or any other map.

[@JoseBriones]

The Nokia 8110 or 6300 international versions should work in Chile and have Whatsapp and Google Maps.

[@user-jj3te5yo4c]

Does it tracks you? Or records youre calls?

[@JoseBriones]

No tracking. It cannot record calls

[@rch6]

What's the browser font size like? Can you make it bigger?

[@porvoonosho]

Do you have any idea why HMD leaves hotspot feature out of their feature phones? That is so strange. I see it as a most important feature of a dumb phone.

[@JoseBriones]

Because ThreadX doesn't support hotspot yet. It's a limitation of the OS

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

I think the original HMD banana phone did have a hotspot feature and indeed did overheat quite a bit.

[@anbernicguy]

Nokia should let their feature phones run Linux.

[@IskandarSahar]

*LAUGH ON LOUD*

[@cjeelde]

Why would that be better?

[@carlgreene538]

Then they wouldn't be feature phones.

[@SaveTheUn1corns]

These devices are made by HMD, not Nokia. Nokia only license their brandname. Nokia makes network related hardware and software these days

[@carlgreene538]

Yes I am aware that Nokia no longer make phones I think my next phone will be a Nokia 3720 classic as I am not too found of HMD Global devices.

[@carlgreene538]

Pity there is no converter or notes like there is on the 2017 3310.

[@catire98]

It looks like HMD will not launch any new feature phones anymore in the US.

[@JoseBriones]

That's what I've heard sadly

[@harshvraj]

could you confirm the screen resolutions on both of these phones in numbers

[@user-pr2rt1sl6t]

does it have auto call recorder?

[@JoseBriones]

Automatic, no. It does have recorder you can navigate to

[@SMNahidHasan]

Can you tell me if all the messages from one single number/person come into a thread (like Android phones) or if they come in separately?

[@JoseBriones]

Separate

[@BrianBGeronimo]

Can you change the text messages into per-text/non-threaded format?

[@JoseBriones]

It already comes with non-threaded format.

[@brybbe]

How is it regarding to sms? Can you view it like a chat as it is on most phones now, or is it singular messages - as in twenty messages from the same person in the inbox?

[@JoseBriones]

Yes. It has the chat function on mine

[@kartrikpal]

Bought one for my mom.❤ thanks

[@vovcheable]

i wanna that with hotspot feature, to share 4G LTE with laptop or tablet

[@AktaHasutan1948]

the centre button of recent nokia dumbphones are not elders friendly...

[@metacercaria]

Good day, have you tried adding birthdate in contacts? I experienced a not nice experience: the year cannot be set 1979 or older. Do you experience the same thing? 😭

[@JoseBriones]

Yes. It has a weird date set for that

[@alih555]

I want that kind of phone to install local sim card and share internet to my macbook. Is it possible?

[@JoseBriones]

Sadly not possible.

[@SpaceClown404]

Why would i be getting ads in america of this phone if it doesn't work here

[@JoseBriones]

Maybe HMD is wanting awareness for their new Nokia phones

[@EnriqueMcQuade]

Does it have Cloud Apps?

[@JoseBriones]

Only the Asian versions have Cloud Apps. Look at my commentary towards the end. I was able to get a European version, but the Cloud apps only come in Asian regions as far as I've been told

[@WahedPerfumes]

Can we change font size.

[@Ayushrider877]

Can we install 3rd party Mre vxp apps games based on s30 on it from sd card? Just want to know..

[@JoseBriones]

I don't think so. It doesn't seem to have any side loading abilities

[@MuzeumKomorekpl]

I've got one of two in Poland, bcs they don't sell it at PL now. If someone would like to see it it Polish feel free to look at my movies :)

[@RajeevKumar-wr2sd]

How's the display quality? Because the display on 215/225 is quite terrible. The viewing angle and reflection kills it.

[@JoseBriones]

It's ok. Similar to the other ones

[@karlgreene2177]

Does the new 3210 have notes?

[@rishisanjram7333]

Is Bluetooth tethering possible

[@JoseBriones]

No

[@jerome436]

does it support RCS?

[@JoseBriones]

No RCS Support sadly. It would be amazing to have though!

[@PiotrK972]

Is the bloatware (games, facebook) removable in this one? Or the same story as before ?

[@JoseBriones]

Same story as before.

[@ancalagon0216]

Will this phone ever come out in the US?

[@JoseBriones]

Sadly not this one. However, I've been told they are considering a new release for the US by the end of the year. No extra details so far.

[@Streetphotog-dn1zy]

I dont get it why companies keep producing telephones without whatsapp app. Everyone uses it in europe and they know it.

[@JoseBriones]

They don't really care to listen to consumers, they want to push people to smartphones

[@Streetphotog-dn1zy]

You are right, and of course the fact that usa doenst use it doenst help too.

[@stevel1451]

I’ll tell you why, not everyone wants to throw their life away to smartphones and social media

[@Streetphotog-dn1zy]

They couldhave given the option though. Having whatsapp means you cancommunicate in Europe, be in Groups for your job, your kids, your friends etc. Dont underestimate it cause you dont need it. The real world is outside butnot everyone wants just calls and messages.

[@lahtal1]

I and most people that have this phone do not want social media it's the point of this phone coming back after 25 years. I still have the original before we had smart phones. With most technology it's ment to get smaller but phones are now massive to the point of not fitting in your pockets in the summer . Smart phones are only good for women as they carry them in a bag. If you only have call or text when you are out you will find you can enjoy your day without seeing what Dave ate for breakfast.

[@wanfahimi]

for me the big change is hmd / nokia moving to use usb type-c. finally.

[@carlgreene538]

Is there a notes application?

[@JoseBriones]

Yes. It's pretty basic

[@Cxzcan]

Hi. Ive just bought this phone but then realised that it dont have a game store to download .vxp games, instead it only has some stupid trail games that cost a dollar. Do you know why it doesnt support game store like the HMD's earlier phones anymore?

[@JoseBriones]

It doesn’t.

does this phone have emojis?

[@pixelgaming7261]

If it supported WhatsApp it's be basically perfect, in my region though the Nokia 235 4G actually works on 4G, so I'd go that way (again, no WhatsApp, which is a dealbreaker).

[@user-ik5fv8rc9l]

The software is all the same. The only difference is the shape.

[@JoseBriones]

It does. Only in very limited areas, however.

[@chookwangzhee1889]

@@JoseBriones I see, do the telcos offer their own choice of dumbphones? This is not the case in Singapore, but because of the 3g shutdown in late July they will have to stock them up

Can that Facebook app be removed ?

It's not an app. It's just an icon shortcut for the browser. It cannot be removed though.

No

[@andreabrindesi6526]

All these "nokia" devices are unuseful today. I ve got a simple 130 for txt call radio and alarm.. It s enough if not internet available, the os is dated.

[@cjeelde]

As I see it, this is a good "emergency phone" only. If you wanna live at least almost a normal life you need iPhone or Android for the bank apps, apps to identify yourself, blood sugar measurment "puck" reader apps (if you got Diabetes and the healthcare give you that) and so on. And all these livestream apps. 3210 4G got no "selfie cam" for photos and video calls? Nokia 3210 4G is like travel 20 years back in time. So why 4G? Because all contries will take down 2G and 3G networks coming years. You will need a phone with 4G. Your older phones with only 2G/3G will NOT stop work but these phones will be disconnected forever from the cellular networks. I would never ever wanna recommend 3210 4G as a "daily driver". Same thing for all similar phones. But it might be good to have as an emergency phone.

[@abohsukampret]

Unless it can withstand a nuclear blast and has a battery that last two centuries per charge, I'm not buying it.

[@goodnota]

Bloody hell, where HMD have arrived to, no T9 ?!

Well, but how about typing, let’s say in Ukrainian, or say Hindu, or Georgian?

It only comes with limited languages. I don't think those are supported.
