HMD Touch 4G Leaked: A Nokia Asha Revival Without the Nokia Name

New leaks from source smashx_60 have unveiled an upcoming HMD feature phone, the HMD Touch 4G. The device is an engineering prototype that heavily channels the spirit of the classic Nokia Asha series, complete with a user interface that will feel familiar to fans of the original.

The leaked images showcase a device with a lock screen UI that is remarkably similar to the old Nokia Asha platform. This nostalgic touch is clearly aimed at evoking the simplicity and charm of Nokia's beloved feature phones from the past.

According to the leak, the HMD Touch 4G will be available in two color options. It sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen and runs on a modified S30+ operating system, rather than KaiOS or the original Nokia Asha platform. Key connectivity features include dual-SIM support and Wi-Fi. The retail package is expected to include a clear protective case and a charger.

Interestingly, while the phone is a clear homage to a Nokia classic, it represents HMD Global's recent strategy of moving away from the Nokia brand. Similar to the HMD Skyline, which pays tribute to the iconic Nokia N9/Lumia design, the Touch 4G will reportedly be released under the HMD brand, without the Nokia logo.

This marks a significant shift from HMD's previous approach, where Nokia-branded smartphones did not typically adopt retro designs. Now, it seems HMD is reserving these nostalgic, tribute-style designs for its own burgeoning brand. The HMD Touch 4G is poised to be a compelling option for those seeking a simple, modern feature phone with a touch of classic Nokia DNA.
