HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announces three new feature phones to offer an alternative for Filipinos seeking to escape technology fatigue and ‘always on’ culture. As a leader in the $1 billion feature phone market in 2022, HMD Global’s new feature phone launches cement the Nokia phone legacy of unbeaten durability and battery life.
The latest portfolio additions reaffirm HMD Global’s commitment to ensuring everyone has access to affordable and long-lasting technology in this phone category. More importantly, these value devices are being released at a time of anxiety for consumers as the cost of living continues to rise. And the feature phones land at a time when 90s consumer culture is seeing a resurgence and resonating with customers.
Sancho Chak, general manager for Philippines, Hong Kong and Thailand, HMD Global:
“Classic Nokia heritage is combined with innovation in our feature phone portfolio. This iconic range is gaining momentum as a trusted companion for everyone’s communication needs. In the Philippines, we recognize the unceasing demand in this segment and so we bring new additions to our roster of feature phone models to provide more options for our Filipino fans.
The Nokia 8210 4G lets users stand out from the crowd for longer thanks to its durable and sleek design, modern features, and update on a classic look – delivering a bit of ‘90s nostalgia and a lot of the quality and performance you’d expect from a Nokia phone. Catered to fans of all ages but recently has become more appealing to younger audiences, the flip feature phone increased in popularity thanks to their simple to use functionality, signature durability and extended battery life. The Nokia 2660 Flip is a reliable companion for all types of users. Innovation is just as important as heritage in our range which shines through with Nokia 5710 – a feature phone built for the 21st Century. The Nokia 5710 delivers audio freedom through game-changing design.”
Nokia 8210 4G: Reviving a style icon
Nokia 8210 4G – a new addition to the ‘Originals’ family – celebrates the iconic Nokia 8210 launched in 1999 at Paris Fashion Week. Inspired by the classic feature phone, the new Nokia 8210 4G turns heads by combining memorable design and signature durability with 4G, VoLTE capability, a large 2.8” display and intuitive user interface. Things just got so much simpler! Plus, it has weeks of standby battery like the good old days.
Nokia 5710 XpressAudio: Game-changing audio meets 21st century innovation
The Nokia 5710 XpressAudio takes what fans loved about the Nokia 5310 and makes it even better. A bigger battery, dedicated audio control keys, and a built-in wireless earbuds ramp up the audio experience to the next level and meet the needs of modern users. When not in use, earbuds are housed beneath a sleek slider on the back of the phone, so the user always know where they are and charged. That, together with loud dual speakers means fans can enjoy music privately or together with friends just like the artist intended with rich bass, clear highs, and natural vocals.
Nokia 2660 Flip: accessibility and durability in a flip phone

Enhanced, confidence-boosting accessibility features mean it is loved by everyone of all ages. Its big display, hearing aid compatibility, stellar battery life, and big buttons provide a seamless experience for those who need it the most. The dedicated emergency button provides peace of mind by allowing quick contact with the loved ones. In case the unexpected happens, five contacts will be notified, so they can ensure help is on the way.
