Launched in India in October 2025, the HMD Touch 4G by Human Mobile Devices (HMD Touch 4G) is not just another feature phone—it’s pioneering a new category: the Hybrid Phone. Positioned to appeal to first-time digital users, students, and those seeking simplicity without sacrificing modern connectivity, the Touch 4G blends the affordability and reliability of a feature phone with essential smartphone-like features.

A Design That Blends Worlds
The HMD Touch 4G is deliberately compact and lightweight, weighing only around 100 grams and featuring a sleek, modern design.
- Touchscreen Convenience: Breaking away from traditional keypads, the device sports a 3.2-inch QVGA touchscreen display (320×240 pixels), offering a vibrant and intuitive interface for scrolling and basic navigation.
- Durable Build: It comes with an IP52 rating for dust and splash resistance, ensuring it can handle everyday wear and tear.
- Modern Connections: Despite its feature phone roots, it features modern standards like a USB Type-C charging port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Power of “Cloud Apps” and Express Chat
The true innovation lies in how HMD Touch 4G has delivered smart features on extremely modest hardware.
- Operating System: It runs on a lightweight, non-Android operating system called RTOS Touch (or S30+ Touch). This highly optimized OS allows the device to run smoothly on just 64 MB of RAM and 128 MB of internal storage (expandable up to 32 GB via microSD).
- Express Chat: This is the device’s headline feature. It enables real-time chatting, voice messages, and video calls using the front-facing VGA camera. Crucially, the Express Chat app is cross-platform, allowing Touch 4G users to connect with contacts who are using the app on their Android or iOS smartphones.
- Cloud Phone Service: To save on local storage and processing power, the phone uses “Cloud Apps.” These are essentially cloud-hosted browser shortcuts that stream information like live cricket scores, news headlines, weather updates, and basic HTML5 games directly to the device.
Connectivity, Camera, and Battery
The HMD Touch 4G offers a strong baseline of connectivity that surpasses most traditional feature phones.

Conclusion: A Bridge to the Digital World
Priced affordably in India at ₹3,999, the HMD Touch 4G is a statement device. It acknowledges that many consumers need modern connectivity and smartphone-like features but are constrained by cost, size, or a desire for a simpler, less distracting experience than a full-fledged Android phone.
