HMD unveils three 4G-less phones: the HMD 100, 101 and 102 | Infinium-tech

HMD recently unveiled a trio of super basic 4G phones and now a new trio has arrived. Well, the design is definitely new, the features have actually been cut down even further.

CEO Jean-Francois Baril posted on LinkedIn that the company is introducing three new models – the HMD 100, 101 and 102. As we said, these look different from the HMD 102 4G and HMD 101 4G announced in September.

The most capable of the three, the HMD 102 has an MP3 player and a camera with LED flash. The HMD 101 drops the camera, while the HMD 100 also drops the MP3 player (presumably, this means no microSD slot since these have basically no internal storage).

Interestingly, there’s no mention of “4G”, which is actually a key feature for these – if only for the fact that many countries are shutting down their 2G and 3G networks. Another limiting factor is that these models (according to their user guides) have microUSB ports, which are no longer legal in areas like the EU, which mandates USB-C for portable electronics.

Of course, HMD has exactly the same 4G models to sell in those regions. And they’re also dual-SIM, so you can have two active phone lines. Plus, they have USB-C ports.

User guides are available on HMD India and in fact there is a separate page for HMD 101 And HMD 101 4G (Carriers in India still run 2G networks).

Don’t forget that if 4G is a must, there’s also the HMD 105 4G and HMD 110 4G.
