There is a built-in charging case for an included pair of true wireless earbuds for the new feature phone from HMD. The company is far from the first to have this idea, but it is notable to see a more established company attempt the form factor.

The XpressAudio looks like a candy bar-style feature phone from the front, with a 2.4-inch display. There is a charging compartment hidden by a plastic cover. The device will be available in the UK in late July for a suggested retail price of $749.

It doesn't sound like keeping the accessories charged will be a problem, the phone has a long enough battery life that it doesn't sound like keeping the accessories charged will be a problem Up to six hours of talk time over 4G and up to 20 days of continuous use with two 4G sim cards is what HMD says the phone offers.

There is no support for modern music streaming services on the feature phone of the same name. It runs on a stripped-back version of the Series 30 Plus operating system, which has been used in phones for a long time. They were bad, but HMD is not reviving them. The device has an option to listen to a built-in radio or play music on the mp3 player.

The eight-inch T10 is a bit smaller than the 10-inch T20. The cheapest model with 3 gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigabytes of storage will be available in August at a starting price of $129.
