Nokia promo video teases Nokia Tune, celebrates legacy

Nokia, the new one, recently released a new promo video that’s a nice reminder the brand hasn’t completely forgotten its remarkable history. Instead of focusing solely on the present and future, the clip takes viewers on a walk down memory lane — and it closes with a moment that will be especially familiar to long-time fans.

The highlight for many is the brief but unmistakable hint of a Nokia Tune sound at the end of the video. If you’ve ever owned a classic Nokia phone, you know how iconic that tune really is — originally derived from Francisco Tárrega’s Gran Vals and first heard on Nokia devices back in the 1990s.

While Nokia has evolved hugely since those early days of monophonic ringtones and brick-like handsets, the inclusion of the new Tune variant feels like a thoughtful nod to the company’s roots. It’s not just a sound effect — it’s a piece of mobile history that many remember fondly.

For old fans, hearing that familiar motif again, even in a short, modern reinterpretation, is a pleasant surprise. And for newer followers of the brand, it’s a subtle way of saying Nokia still cares about its legacy, even as it pushes forward in connectivity and next-generation tech.

The video isn’t just about nostalgia, though. It showcases Nokia’s current direction too, blending the past with a sense of continuity rather than abandonment.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the promo is worth a watch, not just for tech fans, but for anyone who remembers the days when phones had distinctive personalities built right into their sounds.

To paraphrase an old FC Hajduk player Ivica Hlevnjak Bukle (a trivia which is good to know if you ever come to Split, Croatia), Emotion is a tricky thing. He didn’t say it like this, but the message is powerful, just as the incorporation of the short Nokia Tune at the end of this video.
