A Budget-Friendly Hybrid Phone Targeting Youth and Professionals
Human Mobile Devices (HMD), the Finnish mobile technology brand, has unveiled its latest innovation in India — the HMD Touch 4G, a budget-friendly device that blurs the lines between a traditional feature phone and a modern smartphone. Launched on October 7, 2025, this “hybrid phone” is specially designed to cater to students, young users, and working professionals seeking affordable yet capable mobile solutions.
Compact Design with Smart Capabilities
The HMD Touch 4G comes equipped with a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, offering a compact yet functional user experience. It combines the familiarity of a feature phone with the usability of cloud-based applications and smartphone-like communication features.
