HMD Global has announced the launch of the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio- a 4G feature phone with built-in wireless earbuds and environmental noise cancellation.
The wireless built-in earbuds are detachable and are housed beneath a sleek slider on the back of the phone and are compatible with your smartphone if users want to switch between devices.
The 5710 delivers a 1450mAh battery, lasts for weeks on standby, and the device has gone through extensive testing so that it meets durability standards.
Uswitch tech expert Ernest Doku said: “The rise of the ‘fun phone’ is testament to consumers’ unwavering desire for quality and simplicity above all else from their technology.
“More than just a fad or a phase, we’re seeing devices focused on what matters most – impressive battery life, capable connectivity and affordability – draw huge interest across many demographics in multiple territories.
“These feature phones are the intersection of novelty, nostalgia and individuality – whether it’s a clamshell form factor or cool, quirky design accents, we’re seeing new generations drawn to the appeal of a device that nails the essence of what it means to stay connected.
“From the practicality and durability of a robust handset in festival season, to those looking for a ‘digital detox’ with the aim of getting back to basics, this wave of feature phone counter-culture crashes against the smartphone norm – it’s incredibly exciting to see It not only gain traction in social media circles but deliver meaningful volumes to manufacturers.”
