HMD’s New Feature Phones Are Here
HMD has just launched two new feature phones in India — the HMD 130 Music and HMD 150 Music. While they may look like classic mobile phones, they carry a lot more under the hood. The standout feature? UPI payment functionality built right in.
At a time when digital payments are becoming the norm, even in small towns and villages, HMD’s latest launch is more than just another phone drop. It’s a nudge toward digital inclusivity — for everyone.
Affordable Tech for Everyone
Feature phones are making a comeback, and HMD is leading the charge. These phones cater to people who don’t need smartphones. At under Rs 2,500, they’re perfect for students, workers, or anyone on a budget. Plus, they’re available at retail stores, HMD’s website, and online platforms. You can grab the HMD 130 Music in Blue, Dark Grey, or Red. The HMD 150 Music comes in Light Blue, Purple, or Grey. Affordable doesn’t mean boring here—color options add a fun twist.
What’s more, these phones are sturdy. They have reinforced corners and scratch-resistant screens. The HMD 130 Music even has a dual flashlight. For many, this means a reliable device that lasts. HMD understands that not everyone wants a fancy smartphone. Instead, they’ve crafted phones for real-life needs.
Easy and Loud Music
If you love music, these HMD feature phones are for you. Both models boast a large rear speaker for loud, clear sound. Dedicated music buttons make it easy to play your favorite tunes. You also get in-box earphones for a personal listening experience. With a 2,500mAh battery, enjoy up to 50 hours of playback. That’s over two days of non-stop music! Plus, the battery lasts 36 days on standby.
These phones support wired and wireless FM radio too. You can even record FM broadcasts. Bluetooth 5.0 and SD card slots (up to 32GB) let you store songs. For music fans, this is a dream come true. HMD claims these are among the loudest feature phones out there. So, whether you’re at home or outdoors, your music stays with you.
How the new Feature Phones Matters
Think about it: not everyone needs a smartphone. Some want simplicity without losing modern perks. These HMD feature phones deliver exactly that. They’re loud enough for music and calls, tough enough for daily use, and smart enough for UPI. At this price, they’re a steal for rural users or budget-conscious buyers. Even kids or seniors can use them with ease.
HMD’s move also hints at a bigger trend. Feature phones aren’t dead—they’re evolving. With USB Type-C charging and Bluetooth 5.0, these devices feel current. Meanwhile, HMD’s tie-up with Rajasthan Royals for IPL 2025 shows they’re here to stay. Soon, they’ll launch a 5G smartphone too. Clearly, HMD knows how to mix affordability with innovation.
A Thoughtful Step Forward
These phones prove tech doesn’t have to be expensive to be useful. They meet real needs—music, payments, and durability. For many Indians, this could be their first step into digital payments. Or it might just be a reliable backup phone. Either way, HMD feature phones offer value that’s hard to ignore. So, next time you’re shopping, consider this: big features can come in small, affordable packages.
