“Don’t drop your phone, or else it will break the floor” Iy you used to gave a Nokia feature phone, I bet you have heard this warning more than once. Nokia phones, with the long history in our market, have left with great devices and awesome stories to tell. In memory of the Nokia 3410, one of the most popular Nokia handsets, we found an interesting video about this “grand daddy” of nowadays glorious smartphones.

Nokia 3410 hands-on: what 13 years ago looks like

Smartphones nowadays come in a wide variety of design with metal, plastic, glass etc. Back in the good old days, our Nokia 3410 showed up with…. this typically signature design: can’t be simpler or less recognizable!

How long has it been since the last time you had a smartphone with physical button like this? You don’t remember, do you? For me, it must be no less than years ago, when I was still a teenager. Now imagine if you hold this phone again in your hand, what would be the first feeling to come across your mind? Mine will be “how could it be that tiny?” 🙂

The hands on video was made and introduced by Android Authority, on memory of “one of the best phones ever made in the world – the 3410”

“Born” in 2002, the Nokia 3410 display is only 96 x 65 pixel in resolution. Compared to today’s smartphones, where 2K and 4K displays are the most popular, 96 x 65 pixel is nothing. But considering its era, the Nokia 3410 is among the most popular resolution. The phone’s iconic keyboard that lights up in yellow just like the display itself. The keyboard are quite easy to press, but does take a lot of time to getting used to it.

In terms of dimensions, while we have that misconception that, phones made back in 2002 must be thick and heavy. While this Nokia 3410 was definitely quite thick, it is, to many’s surprise, not heavy at all, weighing only 114g. It fits perfectly in your hand and will not bother you anywhere you go.

Alright, it’s time for some real nostalgia. Let’s enjoy the good work from Android Authority and have a closer look to our grand daddy Nokia 3410
