Nokia unveils another legacy bar handset with a small screen and a numeric keypad. Dubbed the Nokia 105 4G 2023, the newcomer boasts an ultra-low price and minor enhancements over its predecessor. Here is everything outlined in an in-depth overview. 


Let's get the phone's design out of the way first. Compared to the original 105, the new device has a more extensive black area around the screen, endowing the phone with a slightly premium look. 

Moreover, according to the company, Nokia 105 4G 2023 has a 1450mAh battery, almost 42% better than the predecessor. Aside from that, the new device has better external storage support of 32GB, Bluetooth 5.0 module, and bold fonts on the clickers.


With the new Nokia 105, users can opt for one of the two excellent finishes, black and blue. The Nokia new mobile surprisingly has Dual-4G standby support, with features like VoLTE HD voice calls and full Netcom capabilities with Dual-4G SIMs. All these features combined make for an excellent secondary handset.


Equipped with UNISOC's T107 lightweight chip, the Nokia 105 4G delivers impressive performance, worthy of claiming supremacy over its predecessor. In essentials, the new Nokia 105 4G brings wireless/non-handset radio support, one button flash, and finally, the iconic "Snake" game, providing users with a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

The phone will start shipping for retail in the Chinese market exclusively on the 28th of April at the asking price of 229 Yuan (~29 USD), translating to ~8,000 PKR. Whether or not the device will unveil in other countries remains to be discovered.
