Summary
@smashx_60 posted first images of an unreleased HMD feature phone whose T9 keypad can convert into a touchpad for navigation.
The touchpad design could make scrolling long texts and web pages easier by avoiding finger blockage on the phone’s relatively small touchscreen; the leaker said HMD may use either a flip-out or removable cover.
Images also show a large near-square display, a single rear camera with LED flash, side power and volume buttons, and pogo pins that suggest charging via a dock or wireless charging station.
HMD has long sold classic secondary phones such as the $48 Nokia 110 4G, but this model’s name, launch timing and price have not been disclosed.
