NEW DELHI: HMD Global, which holds the rights for Nokia brand, will launch a new version of Nokia 105 model priced at Rs 999 as it looks to tap the feature phone market in the country.

The dual SIM version of the device will be priced at Rs 1,149 (excluding taxes and subsidies). Both devices will hit the stores on Wednesday.

Besides, the company will also launch another feature phone, Nokia 130, in India in the coming weeks.

“With more than four billion people remaining offline and unable to benefit from the social and economic development opportunities of the Internet, simply getting connected by voice and text is still such an important step for many people around the world,” HMD Global CEO Arto Nummela said in a statement.

He added that more than 400 million feature phones were sold globally in 2016. (AGENCIES)
