Nokia is undoubtedly still one of the world’s most recognized brands. The company was very popular before the rise of smartphones and reached a peak market share of 41% in the global phone market in 2007. Although Nokia continues to exist today and comes up with new models, it’s quite far from its former glory. However, the legendary manufacturer hasn’t given up yet and has announced two new models. The not-so-smart Nokia 130 and Nokia 150 have been announced. Here are the details…

Nokia 130 and 150: The Phones for People Who Want to Disconnect

In today’s world, smartphones are much more than just a means of communication. We control almost all aspects of our lives through these devices, from managing our financial situation to storing precious memories. Yet, despite all these functions, some people still prefer older phones over smartphones. Aware of this situation, Nokia has introduced two new models, named 130 and 150.

Nokia 150

The Nokia 150 isn’t actually a new phone. This model was first announced by Microsoft in 2016 and received another makeover in 2020. Now, it’s back in the spotlight, despite not being modern, due to its refreshed design and features. Unfortunately, this model doesn’t have any standout features apart from not being a smartphone.

There’s no information about the processor of the Nokia 150, but it has a 1450 mAh battery capacity that can last a few days and a 0.3 Megapixel camera. There’s no front camera and the most notable feature seems to be its 3.5mm headphone jack. As for the operating system, it uses not Android, but an OS called S30+. Here are all its features:

Nokia 130

When we look at the Nokia 130, we don’t see much different, except for one significant missing feature. This model does not include a unique camera, taking us on a real journey back in time. Instead of a camera, we see a fairly large speaker grill on the back of the phone, which could be ideal for users who prefer listening to the radio rather than using Spotify or Apple Music.

This model comes with a 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and a long battery life provided by a 1450 mAh battery. Honestly, there isn’t much to say for both phones except that they target specific groups of people.

HMD Global officially unveiled Nokia 150 (2020) and Nokia 125 feature phones back in May after it was leaked in April. The handsets soon made their way to China in June. Now, in August, they also launch in India for ₹2,299 and ₹1,999 respectively. Both the devices will be available for purchase in the country starting today (August 25) from leading retailers and Nokia online store (Nokia.com/phones).

The newly launched Nokia feature phones in India are powered by an unknown MediaTek chipset paired with 4MB RAM and 4MB internal storage. The only major difference between the two is their design and presence of a VGA camera, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), MP3 player, and Bluetooth 3.0 on the slightly costlier Nokia 150 (2020).

Otherwise, we are looking at two identical Nokia-branded feature phones from HMD Global with a polycarbonate body,  2.4-inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) TFT LCD color display, T9 physical keyboard, Series 30+ operating system, 2G connectivity, dual-SIM (mini), LED flash, wireless FM radio, 3.5mm headphone jack, 1,020mAh removable battery, and MicroUSB port for charging.

The Nokia 125 measures 132 x 50.5 x 15mm in dimensions and weighs 91.3g. On the other hand,  the Nokia 150 (2020) measures and weighs 132 x 50.5 x 15mm and 90.54g respectively.                                                                                                           

Last but not least, these phones come in the following colors.

Nokia 125

• Powder White

Nokia 150 (2020)

Back in April, HMD Global’s Nokia 125 and 150 leaked for the first time. Soon the handsets were announced officially in mid-May. Now, these two feature phones have launched in China for 189 Yuan ($26)  and 229 Yuan ($32) respectively.

Both the Nokia 125 and Nokia 150 feature a 2.4-inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) TFT LCD color screen and polycarbonate body. They are limited to 2G connectivity with support for dual SIM and dual standby.

An unknown MediaTek processor paired with 4MB RAM and 4MB ROM powers them backed by an identical 1,020 mAh removable battery. Further, the phones charge via MicroUSB port which is normal for their price.

Being a cheaper model, the Nokia 125 lacks the VGA camera that is present on the Nokia 150. However, both of them have an LED flash and support wireless FM radio.

These handsets also come pre-loaded with the new Snake game, which first debuted on Nokia 3310 (2017). Having said that, the design and keypad of the costlier model are better polished than the cheaper phone.

As for colors, Nokia 125 only comes in White and Black options, whereas, Nokia 150 is available in Blue, Red, and Black versions.

Nokia 150

The Nokia 150 also has a 2.4-inch display but its keyboard has a different design. Personally, I prefer the keyboard of the Nokia 125. However, the Nokia 150 is the more attractive device. It comes in cyan, red, and black color variants.

[envira-gallery id=”322295″]

Just like the Nokia 125, it runs Nokia’s Series 30+ OS. It also has an MTK CPU, 4MB RAM, and 4MB of expandable storage. There is a wireless FM radio alongside an MP3 player. You also get Bluetooth 3.0 and a VGA camera on the back of the phone.

The Nokia 150 comes with Dual SIM support and charges via a MicroUSB port. The battery capacity is 1020mAh and is user-removable.

HMD Global is yet to reveal the details about the prices and availability of the two phones.

The post HMD Global launches Nokia 125 and Nokia 150 feature phones appeared first on Gizmochina.

HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded smartphones and feature phones released quite a few models last year. Nevertheless, it is at least launching some and above all, regularly updating its existing devices in a timely fashion. Now, as per a new tip, the firm is set to launch two new feature handsets called Nokia 150 and Nokia 125.

The information about the upcoming Nokia feature phones comes from Roland Quandt, a prolific tipster with a history of accurate leaks. Unfortunately, he only reveals the model number of the new phones and nothing else.

According to his tweet, the forthcoming Nokia 150 will bear the model number TA-1235, whereas the Nokia 125 will come with model number TA-1253 attached to it. This is the only knowledge he has of these phones as of now.

But thanks to another source, we are also aware of the price of these feature handsets. Both the Nokia 150 as well as Nokia 125 will come with dual-SIM support and will retail for €41.90 and €35.90 respectively. The price of Nokia 150 is exactly the same as the older model (same name) but that one was developed by Microsoft and not HMD Global.

We are yet to see any render of these devices. But now as the prices are already out, the handsets may go official anytime soon.

Nokia, the smartphone manufacturer, was once the leading mobile brand in the world with its feature phones being a big hit in the global market. Since then, the industry has shifted towards smartphones that are a lot more powerful, but the company has still stuck to its roots. Now, Nokia 150, which is one such feature phone, has just been launched in China.

Specs & Features

The Nokia 150 arrives with a 2.4 inch display with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. For photography, it is equipped with a VGA camera that also supports LED flash. The handset also features multiple useful functions like FM Radio via the 3.5mm headphone jack, MP3 music support for music, and inclusion of a microSD card slot for expandable storage. Notably, the mobile is powered by a 1020mAh battery which is claimed to be capable of running the Nokia 150 for up to 31 days in a single full charge.

Design

On the front, users will not find a selfie camera or a QWERTY keypad; rather the old fashioned number dials with alphabets assigned to them and a Nokia branding on the top. Below the keyboard a mic can also be found for voice input. The rear of the device features a lone camera with an LED flash beside it and a speaker grill just below it. Nokia 150’s body is made from polycarbonate which is a clear indication of its extreme budget segment.

Price & Availability

Nokia 150 is currently available for pre sales on JD and carries a price tag of 199 Yuan or roughly 28 US Dollars. For color options, it is available in two variants either white or black.
