The HMD 106 Pure has appeared in a Pakistani retail listing ahead of any confirmed official launch, pairing a removable 1,000mAh battery and USB-C charging with GSM-only 2G connectivity. That network limitation means the low-cost feature phone will not be viable for calls in markets where 2G service has already been shut down.
Advance Telecom lists the handset at PKR 3,250. HMD has not yet included the model in its official product portfolio, so its wider release plans, markets and pricing remain unconfirmed.
- 1.8-inch display with 120 × 160-pixel resolution
- Unisoc 6531E chipset and S30+ operating system
- Rear camera rated at 320 × 240 pixels
- microSD card support up to 32GB
- 3.5mm headphone jack and wireless FM radio
- USB-C charging and a removable 1,000mAh battery
The retailer claims up to 12 hours of talk time and up to 22 days of standby time. The phone is intended for calls and SMS rather than mobile data services, as it does not support 3G, LTE or 5G.
The 106 Pure follows HMD’s established entry-level feature-phone formula, but its 2G-only radio is a more significant constraint than its basic camera or small display. HMD previously offered models such as the Nokia 105 (2023) and Nokia 106 4G; the latter’s 4G support gives it a substantially broader long-term network outlook.
The listing names Dark Grey and Teal Green finishes, while retailer imagery also shows a blue version. Whether the HMD 106 Pure will receive a formal international announcement or remain limited to selected markets is still unclear.
