HMD Global is updating the Nokia feature phone portfolio with two new models: the stylish 150 and the music lover 130.

Starting with the Nokia 150 (2023), this phone balances looks with durability. Its body is made from tinted polycarbonate, so there’s no paint peeling or scratching. In addition, the phone is IP52 rated (protected against dust and water drops).

The textured back panel and metallic (but not metallic) function keys on the front enhance the look of the phone. Other than that, the 150 has the features we’ve come to expect from these phones and not too different from the 150 three years ago.

There is a 2.4″ 240 x 320px display on the front and the phone runs on Nokia OS S30+. You can add a microSD card (up to 32GB) to store photos taken with the 0.3MP camera and MP3 There is also an FM radio receiver on board, as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone is powered by a removable 1,450mAh battery that charges via, ugh, microUSB (USB 1.1), a charger is provided in the box. The battery is good for 20 hours of talk time or 30 hours of music playback.

The Nokia 130 Music should be self explanatory when you see the back. Swap the camera for a bigger speaker. Like the 150, this one can play MP3s from your microSD card (up to 32GB) or from FM radio. This phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a headset is included in the retail package.

You get the same 2.4-inch display, same phone OS, and same 1,450mAh battery — and yes, even the same microUSB charger. We know these are basic phones, but it’s about time they upgraded to USB-C.
