HMD revives Android Go with its Key smartphone

The average price of smartphones has increased significantly in recent years and, unless you turn to older models, devices for less than €100, and even €150, are rare. However, HMD intends to offer something to satisfy small budgets by formalizing a terminal called Key. This smartphone brings Android Go, very discreet in recent years, back to the forefront. The light version of Android (14) powers this mobile which is making its debut across the Channel at a price of 59 pounds, or a little less than €75.

For this low price, HMD delivers a device with a 6.52-inch LCD screen, with HD+ definition and a brightness announced at 460 cd/m². Behind its cover hides an SC9832E chip from Unisoc, logically equipped with a 4G modem, and accompanied by 2 GB of RAM: Android Go is designed for smartphones with a small amount of RAM, but also storage space . Here, 32 GB is provided, and can be increased using a microSD card.

The smartphone keeps things simple for the rest. There is an 8 megapixel back camera, a 5 megapixel front camera, but also a jack and Bluetooth 4.2. A 4000 mAh battery charging at 10 W completes the package, which lacks the fingerprint reader. Count on two years of updates for this low-priced smartphone currently announced in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. In , the brand is focusing on its recent Skyline and Fusion, but also on its Barbie Phone, in the world of traditional mobile phones.
