The HMD Touch AI, a compact feature phone that draws design inspiration from classic Nokia Lumia devices, is preparing to launch in more markets worldwide.
After its initial release in China earlier this year, the device is now expected to reach international audiences soon.

The HMD Touch AI features a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 1,950mAh battery with USB Type-C charging, dual-SIM 4G support, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
In China, it is priced at CNY 469 (around $69).
Tipster @smashx_60 on X suggests the device will soon be available in Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and other countries.

The global version is said to offer more capabilities than the HMD Touch 4G, which launched in India in October 2025.
It will include free access to “Taobao AI,” Alipay support for mobile payments, and a QR code reader.
In contrast, the Chinese model ships with ByteDance’s Doubao AI, which is subscription-based but includes a 180-day free trial.

Color options for the international version may expand beyond the Cyan and Dark Blue of the Touch 4G to include white and gold.
Pricing details for markets outside China have not been confirmed yet.
These additions position the HMD Touch AI as a simple yet selectively smart device for those seeking a digital detox without losing basic connectivity.
Its closed system and modest hardware also make it suitable for older users or as a secondary phone.
