HMD Global, now operating under the name Human Mobile Devices, has officially launched two new music-centric feature phones in India: the HMD 130 Music and HMD 150 Music. These devices are designed to cater to users who prioritize long-lasting music playback, essential connectivity features, and rugged design — all at an affordable price.
Both models are equipped with large speakers, dual LED flashlights, and USB Type-C fast charging. They run on the lightweight S30+ operating system and offer Bluetooth 5.0, wireless and wired FM radio, and support for scan-and-pay UPI functionality, enabling users to manage digital payments on the go.
HMD 130 Music: Features a 2.4-inch QVGA display, 2,500mAh removable battery with up to 50 hours of music playback, and a scratch-resistant screen. No camera included. Available in Blue, Dark Grey, and Red. Priced at ₹1,899.
HMD 150 Music: Similar specs with the addition of a QVGA rear camera and LED flash. Available in Light Blue, Purple, and Grey. Priced at ₹2,399.
Both support microSD cards up to 32GB for media storage and come with dedicated music control buttons and reinforced corners for durability.
These phones are geared towards users looking for ultra-long battery life, basic communication tools, and offline music capabilities — ideal for rural users, senior citizens, and secondary phone users. The HMD 130 and 150 Music are available for purchase through HMD.com, major e-commerce platforms, and retail stores across India. Both come with a one-year replacement warranty.
In a promotional boost, HMD has renewed its partnership with the Rajasthan Royals IPL team for the 2025 season, integrating the new phones into broader marketing efforts aimed at connecting with India’s cricket-loving population.
The HMD 130 and 150 Music represent a growing trend toward reviving feature phones with smart functionality. With digital payments, Bluetooth support, and modern USB-C charging, these music-centric models prove that innovation doesn't always require a smartphone form factor.
