A new budget feature phone from HMD is on its way for people who just want something simple and reliable for calls and basic use. Leaked details suggest it’s an upgraded take on an existing model, focused on practical improvements.

Tipster smashx_60 has shared info on the HMD 102 4G Pro, which builds directly on the regular HMD 102 4G. The main upgrade is dual SIM dual standby with LTE support, so you can keep two lines active with 4G for clearer calls and some basic internet activity. That makes it a bit more flexible for anyone who needs dual-network capability without dealing with a full smartphone.

It keeps the same compact size and comes with IP52 protection against dust and light splashes. Up front there’s a 2-inch LCD with 160×120 resolution. The rear camera gets a small but noticeable bump to 0.3 MP (300,000 pixels), up from the standard model’s 0.08 MP, so it should be relatively better for basic snaps.

Inside, it runs on a Unisoc 8910FF-S processor. Memory gets modest upgrades: RAM goes from 16 MB to 24 MB, and storage doubles from 24 MB to 48 MB. The battery also edges up from 1,000 mAh to 1,200 mAh, which should help with standby and talk time. These changes keep it firmly in the ultra-cheap feature phone category while fixing a few of the base model’s limitations.

Other leaked details mention microSD support, Bluetooth, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and the S30+ operating system, the usual simple software with an MP3 player and games like Snake. The Pro version looks aimed at markets where tough, long-lasting basic phones are still popular, whether as a secondary device or for older users.

Pricing and exact availability haven’t been confirmed yet since this is still a leak. But the upgrades suggest HMD is slowly improving its low-cost 4G feature phone range to better handle dual-SIM LTE needs in a no-frills package.
