Nokia’s rebirth technically happened in China, after HMD Global released its first Android smartphone, the Nokia 6, first in the Chinese market in 2017. China has got a pretty good Nokia lineup, including models like the Nokia 9 Pureview, Nokia 7 Plus, and the Nokia X7. Even feature phones like Nokia 8110 4G and Nokia 3310 4G have been launched in the Chinese market. Now, the company is launching a couple more feature phones in the region, the Nokia 2720 Flip and the Nokia 800 Tough.
HMD Global has officially teased the arrival of the Nokia 2720 Flip and 800 Tough via its official Weibo page. The company will announce the devices on December 16 at 10 AM in the Chinese market. We have already spotted the product pages for both the devices on the official Nokia website in China but it is yet to be updated with details like pricing and availability.

We knew Nokia 2720 Flip was heading to China after it cleared the TENAA certification a few days back. The phone passed the certification under the model number Nokia TA-1170 and came with the same specs and design as the international version. This included a 2.8-inch 320 x 240-pixel internal display, a 1.3-inch 240 x 240-pixel external display, 512MB RAM, 4GB of ROM, a 2MP camera at the back, and a 1500mAh removable battery. The phone will support 4G LTE and Wi-Fi.
TENAA further reveals that the Nokia 2720 Flip will run on KaiOS 2.5.2, however, you won’t likely have pre-installed apps like Whatsapp or Facebook, unlike the international variant. Both, the 2720 Flip and Nokia 800 Tough were announced at IFA 2019 with KaiOS and Google Assistant on board. The 2720 Flip got a really gorgeous RED color variant a couple of weeks back.
The Nokia 2720 Flip was announced at €89 in Europe while the Nokia 800 Tough retailed at €110. So, expect both these models to be priced below 900 yuan when it launches in China next week.
