The Nokia 1610 is a true icon of 1990s mobile innovation, a no-nonsense, durable handset that marked the early days of GSM communication. Released in 1996 as a more accessible alternative to the Nokia 2110, this model features a simple monochrome two-line display, a robust fixed antenna, and straightforward calling and SMS functionality.
Designed for reliability over flair, the Nokia 1610 offered practical performance with a removable Ni-MH battery (approx. 600mAh) and a SIM card memory capable of storing up to 199 entries. Measuring roughly 160 × 58 × 28 mm and weighing about 250g, it embodies the early era of mobile technology - substantial, sturdy, and analog.
Collectors take note: if your device is marked NHE-5NX, you’re holding an authentic slice of early GSM history.
