Microsoft’s new basic phone Nokia 130 – now available in Pakistan

Microsoft Devices today announced about the availability of Nokia 130 in Pakistan. Nokia 130 will target the mass markets for users who want to buy a mobile phone for a very first time for their basic communications and that also with the option to use two SIMs.

Nokia 130 will cost you only Rs. 2,850/- in Pakistan and will combine the everyday essentials a first-time mobile phone buyer would expect with the beautiful design, reliability and mobile entertainment. With a built-in video player, music player with up to 46-hours continuous playback on a single charge and everyday essentials such as a flashlight, FM radio and USB charging, the Nokia 130 is the perfect introduction to a “mobile first” world.

The Nokia 130 is an ideal handset for first-time mobile phone buyers, or for people seeking a reliable back-up phone to complement their existing smartphone. It’s built to last, with a 1.8” colour display and outstanding battery life of 26 days’ standby for the Dual SIM device. In design and quality, the Nokia 130 stands out among devices priced below USD 35/-. Every year, more than 300 million people buy phones from this price category alone.

“As demand in the affordable mobile segment continues to grow, Microsoft remains committed to delivering market-leading mobile innovation at each and every price point,” said Kamran Masood Niazi, Communications Manager, Microsoft Devices Pakistan. He further added that: “Billions of people have yet to experience a mobile phone, while at the same time there is increasing demand for reliable back-up phones in both mature and high-growth markets. With handsets like the Nokia 130, we see tremendous potential to deliver the experience of a ‘mobile-first’ world to people seeking their first device, and we continue to invest in ultra-affordable devices that will introduce people to a ‘cloud-first’ world through Microsoft services such as Bing, Outlook.com and OneDrive.”

As one of the most affordable mobile phones with video playback, the Nokia 130 makes new digital experiences accessible to more people. It delivers hours of entertainment with the built-in video player which offers up to 16 hours of playback for video stored on a microSD card, MP3 player and FM radio. With support for expandable microSD storage up to 32GB, alongside the Bluetooth-enabled SLAM application and USB connectivity, it also makes sharing digital content easy, without the need for an Internet connection.

The Nokia 130 will be available in select markets including Pakistan, India, China, Indonesia, Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Vietnam and the Philippines.

    • Only these feature phones? Yes these phones may be offered free.. .
      but I also think now even other smartphones should be offered on contract with networks. just like US and europe... Other than security reasons, I am not sure what other reasons are which can't let networks and the phone makers collaborate in this regard....
