HMD Global, which got the license to launch Nokia-branded phones in 2016, has been launching feature phones in addition to smartphones. Occasionally, it launches interesting devices like the Flip phones too and we already have a Nokia 2720 retailing. Now, renders of Nokia’s other clamshell device has appeared on FCC.
A Nokia device with model number TA-1295 has received USA’s FCC certification. Applied under HMD Global Oy, the Label location shows a diagram that has a design of a clamshell device. Further, the certifications also reveal that the device will have a nano-SIM slot and support 4G LTE, and Wi-Fi 2.4GHz connectivity.
If you recall, HMD Global brought the Nokia 2720 flip phone back in 2019 with a 1.3-inch display, LTE, GPS with Google Maps for connectivity. Just like the 2720, which had support for Kai App Store, the new Nokia TA-1295 flip phone also supports KaiOS.
In fact, the report shows that the version in testing is 0.2047.11.01 and a declaration explicitly mentions KaiOS and says that this phone, unlike any other KaiOS device, won’t come with a pre-installed OTT service like Google DUO. Still, the device supports it meaning you can install it by yourself.
Hence, you can expect it to launch in markets like China where Google Apps are banned. Anyway, as nokiapoweruser reports, the listing also shows the hinge, single Camera, and Antenna placements.
Other information includes a BV-6A battery that has a capacity of up to 1,500mAh, bundled with a 5W charger, micro-USB cable, and a WH-108 headset. We are sure to get more leaks in the coming days as launch doesn’t seem far now.
