What’s old is new.
HMD is re-releasing the Nokia 3210, the classic phone from the late 90’s, with modern-day upgrades like 4G and some fresh colors. Under the nostalgic skin it looks every bit like your average feature phone, running unspecified “Cloud Apps” for news and weather.
Looks fun, but seems like an impractical option unless you’re ready for a serious digital detox. It won’t be sold in the US, either.

Voice Moods is starting to show up in the newest Google Messages beta.
First announced in November, the feature lets you attach an emoji to audio messages. It only works with RCS messaging, according to 9to5Google.
The update also brings a redesigned voice recorder that adds a new noise cancellation button. No word on when the full rollout will happen, but we’re betting on hearing more at Google I/O on May 14th.
