HMD seems to have started rolling out a refreshed version of its entry-level tablet in a new market, complete with some promotional pricing and freebies.
According to an X post by tipster smashx_60, the HMD T21 2nd Edition is now available to buy in Nepal. This follows earlier signs that HMD was working on a new tablet. One thing to note: HMD doesn’t have a dedicated website for Nepal, and the tipster didn’t name a specific retailer, so independent confirmation is still a bit tricky at this point.
The tablet is being offered in two configurations under early-bird pricing. The 4GB RAM + 128GB storage model is listed at रु24,999 (around €140), while the 8GB RAM + 256GB version is priced at रु29,699 (about €166) and is set to become available in September. These are described as introductory prices, so the regular retail price will likely be higher. Anyone who buys during the early-bird window is also said to get three free extras: a screen protector, a mobile stand, and a 16oz travel mug.
Specs-wise, the HMD T21 2nd Edition is pretty much the same as the original T21, with the main upgrades being the addition of an 8GB RAM option and more storage. It has a 10.36″ IPS display with 2K resolution and stylus support. Power comes from a Unisoc T7225 processor, and there’s a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
You also get dual 8MP cameras (front and rear), stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 5, 4G LTE, and NFC. The battery is 8,200 mAh with 18W wired charging, and it carries an IP52 rating for basic dust and water resistance. It ships with Android 15 out of the box.
In short, the HMD T21 2nd Edition is a light refresh of the previous model. It offers more memory options and a newer software version, but the same core hardware underneath. We’ll probably hear more about wider availability and final pricing once the tablet starts showing up in other markets.
