HMD Global, the company behind Nokia-branded phones, has released a new iteration of their classic feature phone, the Nokia 105 (2024). This release is essentially a rebrand of the HMD 105 launched earlier in June but with the key addition of wired earphones included in the packaging.

Nokia 105 (2024) Specifications:

The Nokia 105 (2024) sticks to the formula that made feature phones popular – simplicity and reliability. It features a compact design with a 2-inch 120×160 display, perfect for basic needs like calling and texting. Under the hood, you’ll find a modest 4MB of internal memory expandable via a microSD card slot that supports up to 32GB.

Despite its unassuming specs, the Nokia 105 (2024) boasts a surprisingly long battery life. The 1000mAh removable battery promises up to 18 days of standby time, making it a great option for users who prioritize functionality over constant charging. Charging is handled through a microUSB port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack allows for easy connection to the included earphones or any other compatible headphones.

The phone also has a solid build quality with a rigid inner frame. Other features include an FM radio, MP3 player, LED flashlight, space for up to 2,000 contacts, and the classic Snake game. It comes in Charcoal, Purple or Blue colors.

One interesting difference compared to the HMD 105 is the slight downgrade in water resistance. The Nokia 105 (2024) carries an IP52 rating, offering some protection against dust and light splashes. This is a slight step down from the IP54 rating of the HMD 105. However, the addition of earphones in the box might be a worthwhile trade-off for some users.

While the Nokia 105 (2024) doesn’t offer the internet connectivity or advanced features of a smartphone, it caters to a specific niche. It’s a phone built for essential communication, with a long-lasting battery and a durable design.
