Nokia Minima 2100 With 5G Coming in 2026? Viral Pic Showing Nokia Phone With QWERTY Keypad Is Not an Official HMD Global Product Available for Sale
Viral images on social media claim that the Nokia Minima 2100 with 5G and a QWERTY keypad will launch in 2026. However, the claim is misleading. The phone is not an official product of HMD Global or Nokia and is based on concept images and misleading online listings.
New Delhi, December 24: Social media users are widely sharing images claiming that a new Nokia Minima 2100 phone with 5G connectivity will launch in 2026. The viral posts show a Nokia-branded handset with a QWERTY keypad, large battery, Android software and high-end specifications, suggesting it is an upcoming official product from Nokia.
The claim is misleading. The so-called Nokia Minima 2100 is not an officially announced or released product by HMD Global, the company that currently makes Nokia-branded phones.

Viral Images Are Concept or AI-Generated

Cheap Generic Phones Being Misrepresented
Several online sellers and social media ads are using the “Nokia Minima 2100 5G” name to market unbranded or generic button phones. These devices are not manufactured, certified, or endorsed by Nokia or HMD Global and often exaggerate hardware specifications.
Classic Nokia 2100 Is Being Confused
Nokia did release a Nokia 2100 phone in 2003, but it was a basic feature phone with no relation to modern smartphones, 5G, Android or QWERTY keyboards. The viral content wrongly links the old model’s name to a modern concept design.
The viral claim that Nokia Minima 2100 with 5G is launching in 2025 or 2026 is false. No such product exists in Nokia or HMD Global’s official lineup. Users are advised to rely only on verified announcements from official Nokia channels and avoid purchasing phones marketed under misleading names on social media platforms.
Fact check
Viral images claim Nokia Minima 2100 with 5G and a QWERTY keypad will launch in 2026.
The claim is false. The phone is not an official product of HMD Global or Nokia and is based on concept/fake listings, not a real launch.
