Nokia 150 is the name chosen by HMD for the future phone that will be launched under the Nokia brand during 2017 on global markets. HMD has licensed the right to use the Nokia brand for mobile phones, and Nokia 150 will be the name of the first terminal that the Finnish company will launch for those who still remember what Nokia was.
Nokia 150, as expected, will be a very cheap phone, which will cost only 26 dollars and will have rudimentary functions for a mobile phone. Considering that the Nokia brand still has mobile phones that are popular in developing markets, the Nokia 150 will fit perfectly with the company's strategy to relaunch the brand.
The Nokia 150 will also be launched in a dual SIM version, which will have an identical design, so HMD will offer users two models of mobile phones. Nokia 150 has a 2.4 inch screen with 320 x 240 resolution, physical keyboard, 22 hours of autonomy for calls, so we are talking about a very simple and cheap mobile phone, but probably durable.
Nokia 150 – the new mobile phone launched under the Nokia brand
Even if the Nokia brand is still known in many areas of the world, the launch of the Nokia 150 as the first model is a good idea on the part of HMD. They are testing the market and depending on the response they will see from customers, they will decide if it is worth investing in other models apart from the Nokia 150, which will be more expensive and have more functions.
Nokia 150 and the dual SIM version are to be sold in the first part of 2017 in various regions of Asia and Europe, the price of 26 dollars being the one without taxes and without subsidies. With subsidies from operators, the Nokia 150 will most likely be offered for free to customers, so the number of units sold could be quite high in 2017.
For now, it is not known what operating system the Nokia 150 will run, some saying that it could come bundled with Android and not with the Symbian operating system. Considering the very low selling price, it is hard to guess with which operating system the Nokia 150 will be launched, but we will find out more after it will be available for purchase.
