HMD Global, a company known for revitalizing classic phone designs, has recently expanded its lineup of feature phones. Among the latest additions are the HMD 105 and HMD 110, both of which are positioned as modern replacements for the popular Nokia 105 and Nokia 110 models. These devices come shortly after the announcement of the Nokia 220 4G (2024), indicating HMD Global’s ongoing commitment to feature phones.
The new HMD 105 and HMD 110 phones highlight nostalgia with the timeless attraction of the Snake game embedded in their features. Despite their classic appeal, HMD Global has not compromised on modern specifications in these devices. Both phones are equipped with a 2-inch display boasting a modest 160 x 120-pixel resolution. To keep you connected for longer, they house 1,000 mAh removable batteries and offer support for MicroSD cards up to 32 GB, alongside the convenience of 3.5 mm audio jacks for headphone connectivity.
Elevating the basic feature set, the HMD 110 further incorporates a rear-facing camera with the same QQVGA resolution and an LED flash array, providing users with simple yet functional photography capabilities. While full hardware specifics have not been disclosed, additional details can be found on HMD Global’s official product pages.
In terms of aesthetics, the HMD 105 comes in a variety of color choices, including black, blue, and purple, and has a compact, lightweight body measuring 115.5 x 49.5 x 14 mm, weighing in at 77.5 grams. The HMD 110 also has a slim profile of the same dimensions but is marginally heavier at 78 grams. This model boasts a black and a distinctive multi-tone green finish, offering a contemporary touch to its design.
At the moment, it appears the HMD 105 and HMD 110 are initially being released in India, with no confirmed plans for a broader global launch yet established. HMD Global’s strategic decision to focus on the Indian market could be indicative of the demand for feature-rich yet affordable phones in the region.
These new feature phones promise to deliver the essentials with an added dose of nostalgia, all while emphasizing durability and battery longevity that modern smartphones often lack. As the world continues to embrace a mix of cutting-edge technology and the charm of simpler times, the HMD 105 and HMD 110 stand out as reliable companions for those who appreciate functional simplicity or seek a digital detox alternative.
