HMD Global, the Finnish company best known for manufacturing and distributing Nokia phones, has quietly launched a new smartphone, but not under its own name. The new M-Kopa X30 comes through a collaboration with the Kenyan fintech company M-Kopa.
HMD and M-Kopa have been working together to make smartphones more affordable in African markets through M-Kopa’s “pay-as-you-go” financing model.
HMD provides the hardware and software expertise, while M-Kopa handles distribution and flexible payment plans, so that more people can get access to modern smartphones without upfront costs.
M-Kopa X30 Specifications
Under the hood, the M-Kopa X30 packs a Unisoc T615 processor, paired with 6GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. It runs on Android 15 with HMD’s own AI enhancements sprinkled in. The phone has a 6.72-inch Full HD+ display (2400×1080) with the standard 60Hz refresh rate.
As for the cameras, the X30 features a 50-megapixel main sensor with OIS, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a surprisingly high-resolution 50-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
The camera has a few AI tricks up its sleeve, like AI Remix Shots, which automatically picks the best expressions in group photos, and gesture selfies, allowing users to snap a shot just by blinking or flashing a peace sign.
Powering all of this is a 5,000mAh battery with 20W fast charging support, though only a 10W charger comes in the box. The phone also includes a USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an IP52 rating for protection against splashes and dust.
