In 2026, the long-running partnership between Nokia and HMD Global is set to end, marking a quiet but significant shift in the world of feature phones. Before the licensing agreement expires, HMD is reportedly preparing to release one final batch of Nokia-branded devices, offering a last glimpse of a name that once defined mobile communication.
The upcoming lineup includes several familiar models reimagined for the modern day. According to a reliable source on social media, five feature phones are on the way. Among them are the Nokia 3510 4G, Nokia 130 Music (2G), and Nokia 8310 4G—names that will sound familiar to anyone who owned a mobile device in the early 2000s.
While smartphones dominate the market in 2025, a small but steady demand remains for simpler, distraction-free devices. Feature phones like these appeal to users looking to escape constant notifications, social media feeds, and algorithm-driven content.
One standout model from this batch is the updated Nokia 5710XA. Originally launched in 2022, the phone featured an integrated charging case for wireless earbuds. The 2025 version is expected to ditch the outdated Micro USB port in favor of USB-C, making it more compatible with modern accessories. That change alone brings a level of convenience not often seen in this segment.
The 5710XA doubles as a media player and wireless headphone case while offering the kind of extended battery life that classic Nokia devices were known for. When it launched, the phone was priced under $100—less than many standalone earbuds—and provided both a communication tool and an audio companion in one compact device.
Elsewhere, HMD has refreshed the Nokia 130 and 150 Music variants, initially rolled out under its own branding in India. These devices highlight audio-centric features like loud 2W speakers, dedicated music buttons, and support for long-lasting 2,500mAh batteries. The 130 Music adds dual LED torches and UPI payment capability, while the 150 Music includes a basic rear camera and scan-to-pay functionality. Globally, these devices are expected to maintain Nokia branding—at least until the 2026 licensing deadline.
As the HMD-Nokia partnership winds down, this last round of feature phones may be the final chapter in a story that once dominated the mobile phone landscape. For those curious about life without a smartphone—or simply nostalgic for the tactile simplicity of physical buttons—2025 might be the last chance to take a trip back.
