The new HMD Touch 4G is a cross between a feature phone and a smartphone

October 8, 2025

HMD Global, the Finnish company that manufactures Nokia phones, has launched a unique phone named the “HMD Touch 4G”. It’s not exactly a typical smartphone, and it’s not exactly a feature phone either since it does have some smart features. So in this article, we will take a closer look at what this hybrid phone has to offer, including the expected price in Nepal of the HMD Touch 4G.

HMD Touch 4G Overview

The handset looks

Although the HMD Touch 4G looks tiny in size—measuring 102 mm tall and weighing just 100 grams—it’s actually quite thick at 10.85 mm. Its simple design is very much reminiscent of smartphones from 10 – 15 years ago with thick bezels at the top and a button at the bottom.

But its circular camera ring gives off a “modern design” energy since we have seen this approach from so many Chinese smartphone makers lately.

And besides its power key and volume rockers on the side, the HMD Touch 4G also has a “Quick-Call” button on top that lets you record a voice message. The phone is available in “Cyan” and “Dark Blue” finishes, and it has also earned an IP52 rating.

The display here is also pretty basic. It’s got a 3.2-inch touchscreen that is covered by a 2.5D cover glass. Not to mention its QVGA resolution (320 x 240 pixels) mostly found in older feature phones. I can’t even remember the last time I heard of a phone with a QVGA display!

Performance

The HMD Touch 4G uses a single-core Unisoc T127 chip, which is paired with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of internal storage. Yep. That’s “MB” as in megabyte. HMD also lets you further expand the storage up to 32GB using a microSD card.

Here’s where things get interesting. So the HMD Touch 4G runs on a super lightweight RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) Touch. We’ve heard of RTOS on smartwatches like the OnePlus Watch 3, but this is the first time we’re seeing RTOS on a phone.

And with this, HMD Touch 4G supports “Cloud Phone Service” that lets you run browser apps. So you can get the latest news, weather, and stuff, whereas it also comes with the Express Chat app pre-installed. HMD says you can use this app to make video calls, send texts, voice messages, and images to Android and iOS users who have this app installed. However, we can’t find the link to download this on iPhones.

The rest of the features

In terms of cameras, the HMD Touch 4G brings a 2MP camera and an LED flash at the back. While this has been complemented with a 0.3MP front-facing camera. It gets its juice from a 1,950 mAh removable battery that HMD claims should last up to 30 hours on a single charge.

Other than this, it’s got a USB-C connection and a 3.5mm jack to plug in your earphones for music playback or FM radio. It supports WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0 wireless connectivity, and a full band of 4G LTE network.
