Spanish Nokia superfan Wences Palau Fernandez officially has the largest collection of mobile phones: 3,615 unique models! The collection, in his home in Barcelona, beats the previous (先前的) record of 3,456 set by Andrei Bilbie Argentis (Romania) in 2023.

    Wences’s journey began when he was gifted a grey Nokia 3210 for Christmas 1999. He started collecting Nokias in 2008, aiming to buy up all the models he wasn’t able to afford in the past. His collection grew bigger and bigger, eventually taking over an entire room. By 2018, he had gathered over 700 different Nokia models and also collected other brands too, as well as phones that weren’t commercially available.

    Wences has recorded the details of his journey towards his record-breaking collection on his own website, Nokia Project Dream. His collection now includes phones from Siemens, NEC, Motorola, Blackberry, Samsung, HTC, Apple and many other brands. Some of his phones are specially manufactured limited editions (版本), such as his Nokia 3220 Star Wars Ep III collection. He owns the Yoda, Starfighter, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cyborg and Padawan versions of the phone.

    Wences adds on his website: “In my collection I have very exclusive and difficult to find models ... My current collection is the result of a lot of perseverance and financial effort. If you are a collector you will know well what I mean ... It’s a collection that is still incomplete but that I continue to expand whenever possible.”

    Asked why he decided to share his collection, Wences said: “Gathering each and every one of the Nokia phones is not an easy task, but Nokia released just over 1,000 phones, and now I’m having more than 700 different models in my collection. I believe that it can begin to be considered a museum.”
