HMD Global has added three new models to its rapidly growing portfolio. At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, this week, there are three new phones from the company. Entry-level models are designed to entice people into the world of smartphone ownership and potentially upgrade from a feature phone for the first time.
The top model in the new lineup is the C21 Plus, but it is still very modestly priced at about $132. It will be available for 100 British pounds in the U.K. If you want three days of battery life, you'll have to pay more for a larger 5,050mAh battery. The two versions are the same. The C21 Plus has a 6.5-inch screen with an HD+ resolution. The Go edition of the mobile operating system is installed.
It has a choice of 32 or 64 gigabytes of storage space and a MicroSD card slot for expansion. There is a simple 13-megapixel camera and a 2MP depth camera on the back of the device. There is a 3.5mm jack on the phone and a 5MP camera for selfies. The battery is charged using a MicroUSB cable. The C21 Plus has an IP52 splash-resistance rating, and you can choose between a Dark Cyan or Warm Gray color scheme.
The C21 has a 6.5-inch screen, but it also has a single 8MP and a 5MP selfie camera. The software is the same, there is a fingerprint sensor, and there is a 3.5mm headphone sockets. It's cheaper than the Plus, but not expected to launch in the U.K.
The second edition of the C2 is finally here. The cheapest new phone from HMD Global will cost 75 British pounds when it is released in May. It has a 5.7-inch screen, a single camera on the back, and a selfie camera on the front. The phone will deliver a full day of use from its battery, and it even has a metal case to give it additional strength.
Two years of security updates are promised, and all three new phones have the same version of the software. HMD Global says the software won't come pre-installed with many apps, freeing up storage space and helping performance. HMD Global doesn't plan to release these phones in the U.S., and is instead concentrating on a different strategy for its North American efforts.
