Alongside the launch of Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2, HMD Global has also launched three new feature phones at the pre-IFA 2019 event. The Nokia 110 (2019), Nokia 800 Tough, and Nokia 2720 Flip feature phones have been announced catering to different needs and at different price points. The launch of three new products in the feature phone segment reinstates faith that there is still a market for these basic-functional mobile devices. The Nokia 800 Tough’s big USP is its resistance to water, dust, accidental drops, and extreme temperatures. The Nokia 2720 Flip, on the other hand, offers a clamshell-like open-and-shut body for those who prefer them, and the Nokia 110 (2019) is essentially a revamped version of the Nokia 110 launched in 2012.
