HISTORY

About the Nokia 3310

The Nokia 3310, released in 2000, became one of the best-selling phones in history with over 126 million units sold. While its VGA camera (added in later camera-phone variants around 2002) was rudimentary, the 3310 era represents the very beginning of camera phone culture. Its crude, heavily compressed images captured a moment when taking a photo with your phone felt magical rather than routine.

RetroCam recreates this look using real optical data: color temperature curves, aberration profiles, grain structure, and tonal response. The result is a live camera effect that feels authentic, not just a filter slapped on top.
