HMD Adds AI Support to New 101 4G Basic Phone
HMD has grown its set of basic phones by adding the new HMD 101 4G. This phone is unique in the button-phone group because it has an AI helper that works off the DeepSeek brain net. Most phones like this don't have that.
AI Use in an Old Style
The phone keeps the old button look with a tiny screen and big keys. They put in a special button for the AI helper. This helper can hear you talk and can do many things like:
- Call people
- Tell you the weather
- Set alarms
- Answer your questions
Typical Parts and Ways to Link
The phone has what most new basic phones have:
- A USB Type-C hole for power.
- A 3.5mm hole for earbuds.
- A built-in FM radio.
Costs and Other Types
The HMD 101 4G costs $21 in China. A better model, the HMD 102 4G, comes with a back camera and costs $23.
