HMD Global recently announced a trio of new Nokia feature phones including the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio equipped with a built-in charging case for wireless earbuds.
The Nokia 5710 XpressAudio embodies the genetic candy-bar feature phone design from the front, with a 2.4-inch display and a classic T9 keypad.
Reiterating the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, the recently released feature phone packs dedicated music controls and black/white and red colorways matching the wireless earbuds. The two earpieces also have a compartment at the back where they are stored, charged, and hidden with a plastic cover.
The Nokia 5710 XpressAudio sports a removable 1,450mAh battery that HMD Global says can last up to six hours of talk time and up to 20 days of standby, even with the accessories plugged in.
The wireless earbuds offer up to four hours of music playback and 2.4 hours of talk time. It’s uncertain whether the device will support streaming services like Spotify, but it does include the old-fashioned MP3 player and a built-in FM radio.
The Nokia 5710 XpressAudio will retail at €69 (approx. Ksh. 8,170) and will first be available in the UK before entering other smartphone markets.
