Nokia introduced the 130 (2023) alongside the 150 as another budget-friendly feature phone option. Known also as the 130 Music, let’s see what audio features it provides.

Design and Display

The design is quite similar to the 150, with a candy bar form, plastic body, and colorful options. It measures 130.9 x 50.6 x 14mm and weighs a slightly lighter 98.2g.

It uses the same 2.4-inch 240×320 LCD display but does away with the camera. The screen is clear enough for viewing media files and menus.

Hardware, Performance, and Storage

Under the hood is the usual 4MB RAM and internal storage. But a notable upgrade here is support for microSD cards up to 32GB capacity, allowing for more music/content storage.

A 1450mAh removable battery powers it. Other basics include Bluetooth, FM radio, a 3.5mm jack, and a USB port. Performance is fine for non-intensive tasks.

Connectivity and Software

Dual SIM support and 2G connectivity are standard. The Nokia Series 30+ OS provides functionality such as calling, SMS, and storage management.

Music Player and Audio Quality

Where this phone excels is its built-in music player compatible with common audio formats. The onboard stereo speakers deliver surprising volume and clarity. An excellent companion for casual music listening.

Pricing and Availability

Priced similarly to the 150 at around $30/20EUR, it trades the camera for expanded storage capacity—great for music lovers. It is available from Nokia’s website in various global markets.

For its inexpensive cost, the 130 Music packs a powerful music experience that few other basic phones can rival. If you value music above the camera and games, this Nokia is worth considering.
