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.

The mobile features a rugged body design and aesthetic that are mainly to protect it from an accidental drop from over 1.8 meters directly on to concrete.

Nokia has confirmed that the company is all set to launch a clamshell phone at a launch event in China on 24th December. However, before you get any idea, let us clarify that the company is not going to launch a foldable smartphone.

Since companies are now launching foldable smartphones with clamshell design, some of you might think that Nokia is doing the same. However, that’s not the case. The company is set to launch a traditional clamshell phone.

Although, the company has confirmed that the upcoming clamshell phone — Nokia 2720 will come with two displays — one on the inside and other on the outside and both will be able to display different information.

While the company has not revealed the phone’s features and specifications, thanks to China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, we know what to expect from Nokia’s upcoming device.

It reveals that the Nokia 2720 has an internal screen of 2.8 inches and an external screen of 1.3 inches for display of caller ID, date and time. Further, the phone comes with the T9 physical keyboard for input method.

As for the software, the device runs KaiOS 2.5.2 and is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera sensor for taking images. Under the hood, the device is powered by a 1,500mAh battery and it remains to be seen how the battery performs with two displays.

Since the phone runs KaiOS, it will come pre-installed with some applications. Further, the device also supports 4G connectivity. The phone also has a emergency button that can be used to send emergency text messages, including the current location and can also make calls to five emergency contacts preset in the address book.

To know more about the device, including its pricing and availability, we’ll have to wait for a few more days as the launch will happen on 24th December.

Ever since HMD Global took over as the new licensee for Nokia-branded devices, the company has re-introduced some old classic feature phones; giving them new life with modern features like 4G LTE. It appears the Nokia 2720 is next on the line as latest reports say we may get a 4G version very soon.

A report by NokiaPowerUser says the Nokia TA-1170 which was recently certified by China’s communications agency may be the Nokia 2720 (2019) with 4G connectivity. The phone had previously also received certification in Thailand and that had revealed the phone isn’t a smartphone but a feature phone.

Released in 2009, next month (September) makes it exactly 10 years the device was launched. HMD Global already confirmed it will attend IFA 2019 and will have an event on September 5. We think this is a perfect opportunity to revive this classic phone.

The original Nokia 2720 Fold launched with a 1.8-inch 120 x 160 color display. It also had a second 1.36-inch 128 x 160 monochrome display on the outside when closed shut. Other features include a 1.3MP camera, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2.5mm audio jack,  FM radio, and an 860mAh battery.
