Nokia launched a reiteration of its classic 3210 that no one asked for

Nokia surely has not forgotten when it used to be the golden standard of phones before the smartphone revolution outpaced it. Given that, the company updated one of its iconic feature phones in collaboration with HMD after 25 whole years. In this article, we will discuss the Nokia 3210 (2024) in further detail including its price in Nepal.

Nokia 3210 (2024) Overview

Design and Display

The Nokia 3210 (2024) gets a design overhaul from the 1999 variant and comes with an updated look. It has that standardised keypad layout with soft buttons. Moreover, it comes in a dual-tone finish on the front, while the back panel is all the same colour. Talking of colour, this phone ships in three options — Y2K Gold, Grunge Black, and Scuba Blue.

Nokia 3210 (2024) Colours

On the front, the phone gets an update as well. While the 25-year-old variant had a grey screen, the 2024 update of the Nokia 3210 comes with a colour screen. Even though the company has not clarified the type of panel on this phone, it is probably a TFT LCD. Other than that, the display stretches 2.4 inches diagonally and spans QVGA in resolution.

Performance

The company is going all in on the “good old days of before social media” for their marketing. Therefore, it would be quite an oxymoron thing to do if they made it a performance-centric phone. This is why the Nokia 3210 (2024) comes with very humble hardware under its hood.

It packs the UNISOC T107 processor which is crafted for feature phones. This silicon comes in a 22nm fabrication, has a single core, and clocks in at a maximum frequency of 1GHz. In addition to that, you get a 64MB memory and 128MB storage combo on the Nokia 3210 (2024). Yes… it’s “MB” as in Megabyte and yes, it’s quite low. This is why, the company offers a MicroSD card support of up to 32GB on this phone. Additionally, it boots on the S30+ operating system.

Features and the rest

This phone is a homage to the days of the past and comes with MP3 Player, FM Radio, and the classic game — Snake baked inside it. Similarly, it skips WiFi connectivity but includes a 3.5mm headphone jack instead. On the other hand, the Nokia 3210 (2024) has received some updates to meet modern-day standards. Such as a USB Type-C charging interface, Bluetooth v5.0 support, and a modest 2MP camera coupled with an LED flash on the back.

Nokia 3210 (2024) Features

The Nokia 3210 (2024) might not have WiFi connectivity, but, it is not totally off the grid though. It can tap into the internet, that too at 4G LTE speeds. Thus, you can keep up with the rest of the world through Cloud Apps like news, weather, and well — YouTube Shorts. Lastly, it packs a 1,450 mAh removable battery for power that offers almost 10 hours of continuous talk time.

  • Dimensions: 122.00 mm x 52.00 mm x 13.14 mm

Ncell starts Carrier Aggregation in Nepal and it’s a Tri-Band one

0

Ncell, the private telecom operator has finally begun the Carrier Aggregation feature for its users. And that too with a bonus, I mean, a new 4G band on top of the existing two. In case you are scratching your head, fear not, I’ll explain all about Ncell Carrier Aggregation in this piece of news.

Ncell Carrier Aggregation Overview

What is Carrier Aggregation?

Carrier Aggregation is basically your smartphone using two or more than two bands simultaneously which boosts your bandwidth speed. This feature was first implemented on the 3G network which gave it the name of HSPA+. At the present time, 5G is already present in several countries while Nepal is relying on 4G network connectivity. So, herein it refers to 4G Carrier Aggregation.

In case you didn’t know, the state-owned telco NTC was the first operator to introduce VoLTE and 4G Carrier Aggregation in Nepal. It uses two 4G frequency bands in Nepal: Band 3 (1800MHz) and Band 20 (900Hz). So, NTC users having a 4G+ signal while turning mobile data on means that the phone is using Band 3 + Band 20 at the same time.

And a new 4G band enters for Ncell Network

Just a while ago, Ncell used to operate 4G with two bands: Band 3 (1800MHz) and Band 8 (900MHz). And now, the private telco is now operating 4G through Band 1 (2100MHz) as well which was previously used for the 3G network. To shed some light on this, it has finally gotten the approval, it was long seeking the from Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA).

Ncell (Axiata) Nepal

Plus, telcos are provided bandwidth for each frequency band by NTA. As per Nepalitelecom, Ncell has a total of 15MHz bandwidth for Band 1 (2100MHz). Now, it gets segregated as a 10MHz bandwidth for 3G and 5MHz bandwidth for 4G. On the other hand, Ncell is using 20MHz bandwidth for 4G on Band 3 (1800MHz) and 5MHz on Band 8 (900MHz) for 4G. So collectively, it has now 30MHz bandwidth.

The first carrier to provide Tri-band Carrier Aggregation

Although a bit late, Ncell has finally activated Carrier Aggregation in its 4G network. And with the introduction of the third 4G band at 2100MHz frequency, Ncell becomes the first operator to provide triple band (tri-band) carrier aggregation in Nepal. Users are getting boosted 4G speed with the combined use of 2100MHz + 1800MHz + 900MHz on Ncell. Plus, it has also implemented dual-band Carrier Aggregation (Band 3 + Band 8) as per the need and area.

Advantages of Carrier Aggregation on Ncell

As I have already mentioned, Carrier Aggregation increases your bandwidth speed with 4G+. So, it’s the same case on Ncell as well. But having a tri-band aggregation comes with more perks than a dual-band one. With this, you can get up to 225Mbps speed as Band 3 provides 150Mbps, and Band 1 / Band 3 can provide a speed of 35Mbps, theoretically.

Plus having a more spectrum bandwidth increases the throughput capacity that can allow more users in the same network without sacrificing the overall network quality and bandwidth speed.

How to check Carrier Aggregation on your smartphone

  • First, you need to download the NetMonster App on your smartphone.
  • I would recommend you to do this test from an open space or from a terrace where network interference is lesser.
  • Then, open the app and grant all the necessary permissions.
  • Also, first turn on the airplane mode and turn it off, to check Carrier Aggregation on the NetMonster app.
  • After that, it will show its homepage with carrier and band information.
  • If you are using an NTC SIM, it will show 1800MHz + 800MHz. While on Ncell, it will either show you 1800MHz + 900MHz or 2100MHz + 1800MHz+ 900MHz.

Factors for Carrier Aggregation to Work

  • Both your carrier and smartphone should support Carrier Aggregation.
  • It also depends on the area you are living in and the cell towers in your location. For example, city areas have multiple towers with more than one band frequency emission enabled, dual-band or tri-band in the case of Ncell.
  • Rural areas mostly include cell towers with just one band frequency enabled. So, Carrier Aggregation does not work there for most of the instances.
  • Carrier Aggregation requires multiple frequency bands, so, it is subject to work properly in open spaces or on top floors of a building with better network reception.
  • Ncell’s 4G bands, Band 1, Band 3, and Band 8 are available in almost every smartphone in Nepal. However, not every device supports Carrier Aggregation.
  • Meanwhile, NTC’s Band 20 is not available in “Made for India” phones. So always check Band 20 support before buying a new smartphone in order to use NTC’s 4G Carrier Aggregation in city areas and 4G network in rural areas.
  • Ncell Carrier Aggregation with Triple Bands is only available in certain areas while its dual-band aggregation is common in various areas.

The Huawei FreeBuds 6i looks almost similar to its predecessor. As such they come in an in-ear fit with a stem that features touch controls on the top end. Additionally, these buds are quite resistant to the weather with an IP54 rating. In the meantime, the charging case does not feature any such resistance and comes in an ovular pebble-like form factor. The whole package ships in Purple, White, and Black colour options.

Huawei FreeBuds 6i Design

In terms of audio, these earbuds come with an 11mm quad-magnetic dynamic driver offering a frequency between 14Hz to 40KHz. In addition to that, the Huawei FreeBuds 6i is equipped with three mics on each bud. These microphones are utilised to offer Intelligent Dynamic ANC 3.0.
