Nokia has always kept faith with its feature phones lineup. Even while the company was in limbo, the feature phones kept selling. Since HMD Global took ownership, they have made efforts to upgrade the feature phone’s connectivity from just 2G to 4G. The classic Nokia 3310 4G was one of the first feature phones launched with such hardware and it turned out to be a success. Nokia is now working o a feature phone with 4G capabilities identified as Nokia 400 4G.
The device comes with the model number TA-1208 and recently got Bluetooth certification as well as Wi-Fi Alliance. The certification also contained some key details of the device, one of which is that it will feature Bluetooth 4.2 and have support for LTE. It is said to be powered by Unisoc processor and feature the Wi-Fi component SC234X.

Furthermore, it is said to be running GAFP operating system which is likely a version of Android OS for feature phones. A video had emerged late last year which shows a Nokia feature phone working on Android 8.1 operating system. The device was listed as running GAFP OS but there has been no sign since then that the company will actually venture in that direction.
The TA-1208 has also appeared on the BIS website which is an indication that the device will be launched in India. We expect more information about the device to appear in the coming days.
