HMD Global, which holds the license to manufacture Nokia-branded smartphones, has introduced a new feature phone in India. Dubbed Nokia 150, the phone was unveiled back in December last year. At that time, HMD Global had said that the mobile phone would be made available globally in the January-March quarter.
The Nokia 150 has been launched in single-SIM as well as dual-SIM variants , and both have a price tag of Rs 2,059. It’s available for purchase from Amazon India and Flipkart.
The Nokia 150 has a polycarbonate body which the company claims “keeps its colour even when scratched”. Running Series 30+ OS, the phone sports a 2.4-inch QVGA display of 240×320 pixels resolution. It measures 118.0×50.2×13.5mm and weighs 81g.
