According to the information published by the ITHome portal, HMD Global has introduced a new budget mobile phone model to the Chinese market — HMD 101 4G. This is a classic push-button device with support for modern technologies, combining simplicity and functionality.
HMD 101 4G supports operation in 4G VoLTE networks, providing high-quality voice communication, and also allows you to use two SIM cards simultaneously, which is convenient for personal and work numbers. The device is equipped with dual LED flash, which is rare in the budget segment of push-button phones. There is also a standard 3.5 mm audio jack, which allows you to connect headphones or a headset without adapters.
The phone stands out for its large display and enlarged keys, which makes it especially convenient for older users or people with poor vision. The USB Type-C port is used for charging – a modern solution that is rarely found in devices of this class.
Other convenient features include FM radio, which can be listened to without connecting headphones, as well as voice notification, which increases the availability and comfort of use.
The main innovation of the model was the built-in intelligent voice assistant, based on DeepSeek AI technology. This assistant is capable of performing various tasks, such as making calls, setting alarms, providing a weather forecast and responding to the user’s voice requests. Thus, even in a traditional push-button phone, the user gets functionality close to the capabilities of a smartphone.
The cost of HMD 101 4G in China is only 149 yuan – this is approximately 1600 rubles at the current exchange rate, which makes it one of the most affordable phones with 4G and artificial intelligence support on the market.
HMD 101 4G is the optimal solution for those looking for a reliable, easy-to-use and inexpensive phone with modern features.
