HMD has unveiled a new low-end smartphone, the Key, which has a 6.52-inch 576x1,280 60 Hz LCD touchscreen with 460 nits of peak brightness, a Unisoc 9832E chipset, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, and a 4,000 mAh battery with 10W wired charging.

So it is as barebones as they come, in fact it runs Android 14 Go, presumably because trying to pair normal Android with 2GB of RAM would be even more catastrophic. It's been promised to receive two years of quarterly security updates and nothing else.

The phone has a single speaker, an 8 MP rear camera, a 5 MP front-facing camera, Bluetooth 4.2, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a USB Type-C port, and it's IP52 rated for dust and splash resistance. It will be offered in Midnight Black and Icy Blue. It measures 166.4 x 76.9 x 8.95 mm and weighs 185.4 g.

With those specs, you'd think it'd be cheap, and it is, selling for £59 in the UK. It should expand to other markets soon too, with the first batch going to Australia and New Zealand.
