Nokia 130 Music Revives Nostalgia with Modern Conveniences
Jakarta, Indonesia – HMD Global is tapping into consumer nostalgia with the release of the Nokia 130 Music, a feature phone designed for extended battery life and music playback. Priced at IDR 400,000, the device aims to provide a practical choice for users seeking a break from smartphones or a reliable secondary phone.
The Nokia 130 Music distinguishes itself with a focus on entertainment and usability.
