Nokia 105 Dual SIM Keypad Mobile Phone - Charcoal

The Nokia 105 dual SIM keypad phone in Charcoal is a basic HMD phone for calls, texts and long battery life. Its 1.8-inch QQVGA colour screen sits above a numeric keypad, and the polycarbonate back has a nano-textured finish. The body is rated IP52 against dust and dripping water. It takes two Mini-SIM cards and keeps both on standby.

The FM radio plays through the loudspeaker with or without a headset, and there is a 3.5mm jack. HMD lists built-in UPI payments. It stores up to 2,000 contacts and 500 SMS messages, and a torch, an alarm clock, a calendar, a calculator and a few games are built in. HMD rates the removable 1000mAh battery at up to 12 hours of talk time and up to 22 days on standby.

This is a 2G only phone. It needs a 2G (GSM) network on the 900 or 1800 MHz band, and HMD India recommends its 4G VoLTE models for Jio, so it is not suited to a Jio SIM. While one SIM is in use, the other may be unavailable. HMD lists no camera, Bluetooth, memory card slot or internet apps, and it charges over Micro USB, not Type-C.

Put your fingernail in the small slot on the side of the phone, lift off the back cover and take out the battery if it is in. Slide the Mini-SIM into the SIM card slot with the contact area face down. On the dual SIM version, slide a second Mini-SIM into the SIM2 slot. Put the battery and cover back, charge the phone with the charger from the box, and switch it on by pressing and holding the Power/End key.
