Living with feature phone in the smartphone era
Hello! In this post I would like to tell you about my Nokia 3210 4G as my daily driver and reducing social media.
This is not a rant. Everyone can use a device which suits you the most. I was always a Nokia fanboy, I had different Nokia models through years, I used also Nokia Lumia 520 with Windows Phone 8.1 (which I feel like is the best smartphone os to this day) and smartphones with android.
Nokia 3210 4G came out in 2024 as a new version of Nokia 3210 from 90s. There are 2 version, both with S30+ platforms, but in Asian market, there is also avaible models with Cloud phone platforms, which allows you to use Social media, Youtube, Youtube Shorts, Youtube Music, Accuweather and many different apps. I have the European version in Black color.
As HMD, the maker of Nokia phones states on their boxes on new Nokias: "If it´s important, they´ll call or text." and I agree with them.
SMS, MMS (yes I still like to use them), Calling with Volte Support, Radio, MP3 Player, Camera, Compact Opera Mini Browser and many more features makes my Nokia 3210 4G my most favorite feature phone.
There is one major thing I don´t like on social media these days. They push products to your timeline. Back in the day, when I started using Instagram, around 2013, it was meant for photo sharing and comments (no DMs, no reels). Your timeline was updated in order that people who you follow posted.
I noticed that I felt often overwhelmed and anxious by social media and I knew it´s time to make the change.
Now I try to move my social media visiting mainly on my notebook, which I will check in few minutes and I won´t stay in scrolling loop. I decided to try Tumblr again, make blogs about my favorite artists, Formula 1, feature phones, radios and many other topic.
