Compared to those clunky, heavy low-end models, something sleek and small is fashionable. Others can tell it's high-end at a glance, so it's naturally easier to show off.
As for why Su Zelin is so familiar with its specs, well, that's because he used it before his reincarnation, also during his university days, except it was two years later in this timeline when the price of the Nokia 8210 had dropped, and he bought it then.
Back then, Su Zelin was quite satisfied with the phone, and now it's just a bit nostalgic for him.
So he quickly made up his mind and pointed at the 8210, saying, "Does this model come in sapphire blue?"
"Yes, we have a complete range of color options for all our phones in the mall!"
The saleswoman perked up; she could tell Su Zelin was very interested in purchasing, so she hurried to introduce it.
"This Nokia 8210..."
She barely spoke two sentences before Su Zelin interrupted her, "How much is it?"
He didn't plan to waste time in the big mall.
