The legendary Nokia 3310 has received a modern DIY makeover. A creative modder has revamped the vintage handset by outfitting it with a custom printed circuit board powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller.
While the original phone is celebrated for its extreme durability and the classic game Snake, this hardware upgrade significantly boosts what the device can do. The Raspberry Pi Pico-based board provides enough processing power to run noticeably cooler and more capable games than the factory internals could ever support.
Projects like this highlight the thriving maker community's passion for retro tech. By keeping the nostalgic aesthetic of the classic chassis while upgrading the underlying silicon, enthusiasts are finding inventive ways to reimagine legacy hardware.
