The removable 1,750 mAh battery is still advertised to deliver up to 19 days of standby and roughly 28 hours of talk time. Technical specs remain unchanged: Unisoc SC6531E processor, 4 MB RAM, 4 MB internal storage expandable to 32 GB, dual Mini‑SIM, 2.4‑inch QVGA display, basic rear camera with LED flash, FM radio, and 3.5 mm audio jack. Early listings show a price of about €35 in Bulgaria, confirming the phone’s positioning as the most affordable rugged Nokia model for European markets. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-02: HMD Global launches durable Nokia 123 Shield feature phone HMD Global launched the Nokia 123 Shield, an IP65‑rated 2G feature phone with a removable 1,750 mAh battery lasting up to 19 days standby, dual SIM, USB‑C, and basic specs, priced around €35. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/hmd-global-launches-durable-nokia-123-shield-feature-phone ### 2026-07-25: Nokia 123 Shield rugged phone launched in Europe HMD launches the Nokia 123 Shield, a rugged 2G feature phone with IP65 rating, removable 1,750 mAh battery lasting up to 19 days standby, priced around €35‑40 in Greece and Bulgaria. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nokia-123-shield-rugged-phone-launched-in-europe ### 2026-07-23: Nokia 123 Shield feature phone offers 19‑day standby and IP65 ruggedness HMD Global launched the Nokia 123 Shield, a cheap rugged 2G feature phone with IP65 protection, 19‑day standby, 27.9‑hour talk time, and basic specs; early pricing is €35‑40 in Bulgaria and Greece. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nokia-123-shield-feature-phone-offers-19day-standby-and-ip65-ruggedness --- Cite as: Nokia 123 Shield feature phone rollout.
