Earlier this year, HMD Global refreshed the iconic Nokia 3310 with a new modern design and fresh features to satiate its fans’ nostalgia. Now, the Finnish startup has launched two new feature phones – the Nokia 130 (2017) and Nokia 105 (2017) – expanding its portfolio. The two Nokia feature phones are priced in India starting at Rs. 999 only for the Nokia 105 reboot. Both the feature phones will face tough competition if the Jio feature phone is launched later this week, as rumours have been predicting.

The Nokia 105 (2017) will be made available across retail stores in India starting July 19, priced at Rs.999 for the single-SIM variant and Rs.1,149 for the dual-SIM variant.

Nokia 130 (2017) is coming ’soon’ and its price will be announced closer to its availability, the company said.

The Nokia 105 (2017) will be available in Blue, White and Black options – each colour with a matte finish. The Nokia 130 (2017), on the other hand, will be available in Red, Grey and Black colour options, whenever it arrives.

Both also feature support for LED torchlight, and you can press the ‘up' key twice to quickly turn the torch on and off.
