Feature phones should’ve gone extinct by now, but HMD refuses to let that happen. The company behind Nokia’s comeback isn’t just making smartphones—it’s keeping old-school mobile phones alive, and now, they’re bringing back the candy bar phone with a musical twist. Meet the HMD 130 Music and HMD 150 Music, two new feature phones that care less about apps and more about playing your tunes loud and lasting a month on standby.
Both phones come with a 2.4-inch QVGA display, a mighty 2W speaker, and dedicated music buttons for easy playback control. The 3.5 mm headphone jack makes a glorious return, while FM radio support ensures you’re never out of music, even when your streaming service fails you. Want to go wireless? Bluetooth 5.0 is here to keep your audio options open.
The HMD 150 Music steps things up with a more premium design and even throws in a QVGA camera with flash for capturing life’s little moments. And when you’re done with that, the built-in flashlight ensures you don’t trip over them in the dark.
Battery life is where these phones truly flex—a 2,500 mAh removable battery means up to a month of standby time. Good luck finding a smartphone that can do that. Other spec-sheet details include the S30+ operating system, USB-C charging, an 8 MB storage expandable via microSD card support (up to 32 GB), and dual LED torches on the HMD 130 Music.
For those tired of endless notifications and phones that barely last a day, HMD’s latest throwbacks offer a digital detox with a side of nostalgia—and a speaker loud enough to make sure everyone hears it.
Pricing and availability have not been announced. You can also find more information on the HMD 130 Music product page and HMD 150 Music product page.
