(Image credit - HMD Global) HMD Global has expanded its lineup of ultra-basic feature phones with the introduction of three new models, the HMD 100, HMD 101 and HMD 102. This follows the earlier launch of another trio of 4G feature phones. While the fresh lineup sports an updated exterior, the overall feature set has been scaled back even further compared to the models announced previously. Here’s what we know about the new phones so far. New HMD 100, HMD 101 and HMD 102 The official announcement was made by HMD CEO Jean-Francois Baril on LinkedIn. Baril confirmed that the new phones differ noticeably in design from the HMD 102 4G and HMD 101 4G unveiled in September. Caption - HMD 100 (left) and HMD 101 (right). (Image credit - HMD Global) Among the three, the HMD 102 stands as the most feature-rich model. It includes an MP3 player and a camera accompanied by an LED flash. The HMD 101 removes the camera entirely, while the HMD 100 appears to eliminate MP3 playback support as well, which likely means this model also skips the microSD slot, given the near-zero internal storage typical of basic feature phones. Baril reiterated that the HMD 102 supports MP3 functionality, which suggests the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack. However, all three new models seem to rely on microUSB ports for charging and connectivity. This could restrict their availability in regions like the European Union, where USB-C is mandatory for portable electronics. Another notable detail is that HMD makes no mention of “4G” support in these new models. This is significant since many markets are phasing out 2G and 3G networks. The microUSB port requirement could further limit their release in countries with strict charging standards. For regions requiring 4G connectivity and USB-C, HMD already offers alternative models such as the HMD 101 4G and HMD 102 4G. These versions also feature dual-SIM capabilities. User guides for the newly announced devices are live on the HMD India website including separate pages for the HMD 101 and the HMD 101 4G, as 2G networks remain operational in India. Additionally, customers seeking entry-level phones with 4G support can also consider the HMD 105 4G and HMD 110 4G. FAQs Q1. What new phones has HMD Global announced? Answer. HMD Global has introduced three ultra-basic feature phones, HMD 100, HMD 101, and HMD 102 with simplified designs compared to earlier 4G models. Q2. How do the three new HMD feature phone models differ? Answer. The HMD 102 includes an MP3 player, camera, and LED flash; the HMD 101 removes the camera; the HMD 100 drops MP3 playback and likely skips microSD support. Q3. Do these new HMD Global feature phones support 4G and USB-C? Answer. No, all three rely on microUSB ports and lack 4G connectivity, which may limit their availability in regions phasing out 2G/3G or mandating USB-C.
