HMD Global has launched the HMD 106 2G, a basic feature phone focused on durability and essential voice communication. The device arrives in Pakistan packing a 1.8 inch screen, a Unisoc processor, and an IP52 rating for dust and splash protection. However, network support is limited strictly to older 2G bands.
The phone runs on a Unisoc 6533G processor designed for basic tasks like calling and text messaging. Memory specifications include 4MB of RAM alongside 8MB of built in storage. Powering the user interface is the lightweight S30 plus operating system, which requires minimal system resources. A 1000mAh battery provides long standby times without needing daily recharges.
Buyers can choose between 3 different color options at retail. Physical durability gets a boost from the IP52 certified casing, protecting internal components from light rain and everyday dust. Port selection includes a traditional MicroUSB port for charging alongside a 3.5mm audio jack for wired headsets. The phone also supports Bluetooth 4.2 and includes dual SIM slots so users can manage 2 phone numbers on 1 device.
