HMD has introduced a trio of latest Nokia function telephones together with the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio, which has a built-in charging case for an included pair of true wi-fi earbuds. The firm is much from the primary to have had this concept (try 2019’s Servo R25 as one current instance), but it surely’s notable to see the shape issue tried by a extra established firm with international attain.

The Nokia 5710 XpressAudio seems to be like an everyday sweet bar-style function telephone from the entrance, with a 2.4-inch show and traditional T9 keypad. But round again, there’s a charging compartment, revealed with the slide of a plastic cowl.
