The successor to HMD Global’s popular Nokia-branded feature phones has surfaced in leaked images, revealing a bold departure from the classic candybar design. Long known for devices such as the Nokia 110 4G, which sells for $48, the company has consistently catered to users seeking a simple secondary handset free of social media distractions.
A radical new silhouette
The most immediate change is a heavily rounded body that departs from the sharper lines of earlier models. Physical controls remain familiar: a power button and volume rocker are positioned on the right edge. On the rear panel, a single camera is paired with an LED flash, and pogo pins suggest compatibility with a wireless charging dock. Up front, an almost square display dominates the upper portion of the device; it appears notably larger than screens typically found in this category.
A keypad that doubles as a touchpad
Below the display sits a standard T9 keypad, but it hides a novel adaptive function. According to the source, the keypad can be converted into a touchpad when needed, although it is currently unclear whether HMD Global will achieve this through a flip-out mechanism or a removable cover. The touchpad mode is intended to simplify tasks like scrolling through lengthy menus or web pages without forcing a fingertip onto the already compact touchscreen. Details regarding the final model name, launch date, and pricing remain unavailable.
