HMD has a new phone for parents who want to keep their kids connected without handing them a distraction machine. The company just launched the HMD 105 4G School Edition, and it strips away almost everything that makes a phone fun to play with.
You still get calls and texts, but the web browser is gone. So is the Snake game that’s shipped on Nokia and HMD feature phones for years. The recording function is gone too. In their place, HMD is offering a PIN-protected parental control system. Parents can use it to turn off Bluetooth, MMS, and even the radio.
HMD 105 4G School Edition Specifications
The hardware carries over from the standard HMD 105 4G, so you’re not sacrificing durability or battery life for the school-friendly restrictions. You get a 2.4-inch screen at 240×320 resolution, 64MB of RAM, and 128MB of storage. If that sounds tight, a microSD slot lets you add up to 32GB more.
For connectivity, the phone supports 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. It also comes with Bluetooth 5.0, though parents can disable it via parental controls. A USB-C port handles charging, while a 3.5mm headphone jack lets students use traditional wired headphones.
The HMD 105 4G School Edition can store up to 2,000 contacts, which should be more than enough for most students. It also has a removable 1,450mAh battery. HMD claims the phone can last up to 15 days on standby, similar to the recent 2025 Nokia 105 2nd Edition.
HMD hasn’t announced pricing or a full list of launch countries yet.
