HMD launches four Nokia-branded feature phones with 4G and AI features

HMD has quietly expanded its Nokia feature phone range with four new models aimed at users who still want basic phones, but not entirely basic experiences. The new lineup consists of the Nokia 200 4G, Nokia 210 4G, Nokia 215 4G 2nd Edition, and Nokia 235 4G 2nd Edition, all of them designed around physical keypads, compact displays, and long battery life.hmd+1

What sets this release apart from a routine feature phone refresh is the inclusion of a dedicated AI assistant button on all four devices. According to product details cited in early reports, the assistant is powered by Sikey AI and can handle basic voice-driven tasks such as turning on the flashlight, opening the camera, setting reminders, creating alarms, making calls, and answering simple queries.finance.sina.com+1

That said, the AI angle comes with an important limitation. The service is reportedly free only for the first 180 days, after which continued use requires a paid subscription. That detail complicates the pitch somewhat, especially given that these are feature phones marketed for simplicity and affordability rather than long-term service commitments.baomoi+1

The rest of the hardware stays close to the traditional Nokia formula. All four phones run the S30+ operating system and use removable 1,450mAh batteries, while also supporting dual SIM functionality, FM radio, Bluetooth 5.0, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and USB-C charging. HMD has also added cloud phone service support, which the company says can provide access to content such as videos, weather information, and sports updates without using up the phone’s limited internal storage.notebookcheck+2

There are some differences within the range. Reports indicate that the Nokia 215 4G 2nd Edition and Nokia 235 4G 2nd Edition use larger 2.8-inch displays, while the Nokia 200 4G and Nokia 210 4G use smaller 2.4-inch panels. Camera support also varies: the Nokia 210 4G is said to include a VGA camera, the Nokia 235 4G gets a 2MP rear camera, and some of the other models appear to remain camera-light or camera-free depending on the specific version referenced.focus+2

In broader terms, the launch shows how HMD is trying to modernize the feature phone category without abandoning the design language that made Nokia handsets so recognizable in the first place. Rather than turning these into stripped-down smartphones, the company seems to be betting that a combination of 4G support, tactile controls, and lightweight AI features can give keypad phones a second life in a market that still values reliability and simplicity.hmd+1

HMD has not yet provided full pricing or detailed regional availability for the new models. Even so, the launch makes one thing clear: Nokia-branded feature phones are not being treated purely as nostalgia products, but as a continuing product category that HMD believes can still evolve.hmd+1
