The device skips the traditional keypad but keeps things simple with a 3.2-inch touchscreen.

The size is compact. But the HMD Touch 4G comes with loaded features. It has a front camera to ease your video calls, Wi-Fi with hotspot support. In addition, it offers cloud services that provide cricket scores, news, weather updates, and what not!
Messaging gets absolutely easy with the Express Chat app. It allows texting and video calls with other users across Android and iOS devices. There’s even a Quick-Call button on top that lets you record voice messages instantly. Perfect feature for staying connected without opening an app!
Inside, the phone runs on a Unisoc T127 processor. This comes with 64MB RAM and 128MB of storage. It is expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD. The phone uses RTOS Touch, which is a lightweight operating system. In other instances, this OS offers smooth performance on smaller devices.
