However, HMD has decided to bring this concept fully into 2025, with its new ones HMD TOUCT 4G: a hybrid between smartphone and basic phone This relies on the cloud to deliver on your promises.

HMD Touch 4g is not a smartphone, but it does some things
Making video calls or chatting with your friends that can send photos, videos or even record audio is something that all smartphones can do. They are part of our daily lives thanks to applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Imessage (iOS) and many others. So announcing those things as “news” will only generate laughter.
However, that a basic (non-integrative) and extremely cheap phone can do these things is an achievement. Is it something completely new? No. Before HMD bought the mobile subsidiary Nokia, it had already done this with Nokia Asha (2011-2013). However, it is something worth announcing as relevant, and that is exactly what HMD bets with its new 4G touch.
Thanks to the cloud, 4G touch HMD can use “express chat”an application that It supports text messages, voice, image and even video calls. Yes, it only allows you to communicate with other people who have the application installed on their phones, but it is also available for Android and iOS. Additionally, the cloud itself allows you to access Alagunos Basic Casual Games, videos, and more.
We repeat, this will seem like anything to the vast majority of consumers, but it is useful in emerging markets and outcomes, because remember the following: This device is not a smartphone, but a basic phone Of those who accompanied us for years, until the launch of the iPhone (2007).
Locly, the HMD Touch 4G only allows you to text, make normal calls, take photos with a basic 2MP camera (on the front it’s 0.3MP VGA), listen to music and little else. Apart, Touch Ros, an ultra-basic and lightweight operating system that many cheap smartbands and smartwatches use.
And if that’s not enough, it has a basic Unisoc T127 processor, Only 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB of storage. There is no humane way for this device to run “smart” applications, although it is that simple Its 1950 mAh battery lasts a long time.
Come on, it’s nothing out of this world, but Thanks to the cloud it has more features than other similar devices. As an aside, it’s a very small phone, really compact, not like the little ones they sell us today.
Price and availability of HMD Touch 4G
The new basic HMD phone has IP52 protection and has a 3.5mm connector for headphones. It’s already on sale, though exclusively for India and priced at Rs 3999 (about 40 euros to change). It is sold in black or cyan, has 4G connectivity, Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi 4 and FM.
