Of the three, the HMD 102 is the most impressive, with its main features being an MP3 player and a camera equipped with an LED flash. The HMD 101 lacks a camera, and the HMD 100 further downgrades the device by seemingly removing support for an MP3 player and microSD card, leaving it with minimal internal storage.
However, the new devices don't feature 4G connectivity, which is a key factor these days as many countries are shutting down their 2G and 3G networks.
