HMD 2660 Flip: A Colorful Yet Underwhelming Offering
The HMD 2660 Flip stands out with its vibrant colors like Twilight Violet, Raspberry Red, and Cosy Black. This foldable phone, however, offers minimal specs beneath its flashy exterior. With a main screen of just 2.8 inches and a modest QVGA resolution, coupled with a tiny 1.77-inch outer screen, the device feels outdated. Its VGA camera and 64MB RAM are hardly sufficient for modern requirements, despite supporting 4G and dual SIM capabilities.
HMD 150 Music and 130 Music: Nostalgic Music Players in Phone’s Clothing
As their names suggest, the HMD 150 Music and HMD 130 Music focus on music playback, reminiscent of early 2000s MP3 players rather than contemporary smartphones. The HMD 150 Music features a 2.4-inch QVGA display and a basic Unisoc 6531F chipset powered by just 8MB RAM. It’s more a novelty than a practical device, even though it allows for microSD expansion.
The HMD 130 Music mirrors its sibling in many ways but opts out of including a camera, further limiting its appeal in a market that favors multimedia capabilities.
HMD Barca 3210: A Tribute to Football Fans But Not Tech Enthusiasts
The HMD Barca 3210 might attract football fans with its FC Barcelona-themed design in vibrant blue and red. Yet, it too falls short of delivering an engaging tech experience. The specs are modest with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, a 2MP main camera, and limited memory, although it supports microSD expansion up to 32GB.
Conclusion:
While HMD Global’s new feature phones at MWC 2025 hit the right nostalgic notes, there’s nothing particularly new or exciting for the everyday consumer that’s looking for functionality and performance. While we cling to the past in memories of simpler mobile technology, is that enough in and of itself to fill the desire of the modern consumer?
