These HMD Cellphones Come in Three Models
Michael Hemsworth — December 4, 2025 — Tech
These new HMD cellphones have been announced by the brand as a series of intentionally simple mobile devices that embrace less features. The cellphones include the HMD 100, 101 and 102, which are each characterized by their long-lasting batteries thanks to their limited capabilities. The HMD 102 is positioned as the most advanced with an MP3 player and a camera with an LED flash, while the HMD 101 has no camera and the HMD doesn't have either of these features.
The new HMD cellphones also have no mention of 4G LTE connectivity to position them as intentionally simple handsets that could limit where they will connect due to the dissolving of 2G and 3G networks in various markets.
