Nokia 105 4G 1.8 inch Display Sim-Free Mobile Phone (Dual Sim) - Blue

The instructions where in Chinese Rubbish the phone ended up in the bin

This is the perfect dumb phone. It has VoLTE 4g, so it is future proofed against the phase out of 2G/3G. It is very simple, no bluetooth, no camera, no sd card slot. It does have a web browser, which is useful if you want to find a phone number on google, but is not useful for much else. The buttons are big enough for my big thumb. They are separated and unlike a lot of other nokia dumbphones, I don't mash the keys when I am trying to text or type in a number. If you want a very simple phone, that can do phone calls and texts and nothing else, and that will last a long long time, this is the phone for you.

The Nokia 105 4G is a good-looking and very capable feature phone, at a reasonable and affordable price. Despite it not having many of the functionalities of modern smart phones, it still proves as a future-proof contender for someone who doesn’t want all the bells and whistles of modern technology, while still wanting a simple device that will work with modern protocols.While it doesn’t feature either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, you are able to access the Internet through 4G/LTE on its very neat, proprietary installation of the Opera web browser. The device has a miniscule amount of flash memory (~40 megabytes), though this is sufficient enough to be able to download new wallpapers and ringtones from the web browser, or you can alternatively transfer them from your computer to your Nokia 105 over a standard USB Micro cable. Something important to bear in mind is that this phone does NOT support removable storage such as a microSD card.The user interface is easily navigable and its quick access menu is highly customisable, meaning you can easily tweak it to suit your needs. I have noticed some spelling mistakes in the UI text, for example when the phone is fully charged it says something to the effect of ‘Ensure the phone is unpluged [sic] from power’ - perhaps this could be rectified in an update, if it is at all possible to update this phone.Another minor criticism is that the screen quality appears to be a bit of a downgrade from the 2017 model, with the screen appearing slightly more blurry and pixelated - as well as having a narrower viewing angle, though I suspect this is probably a compromise for the fact that this newer model has 4G support.The battery life is solid and to further retain energy, it has an automatic on and off feature which you can easily set from within the settings. I personally use this as an emergency phone that I keep in my backpack and the battery does not drain quickly - which is surprising because it lasts a long time even when you’re browsing the Internet over 4G or if you have a lengthy conversation.The call quality is okay, not remarkably crisp or clear but that’s to be expected of any phone within this price range. Amazingly, though, it does support Voice-over-LTE which I was very pleasantly surprised by. I have found that this phone keeps a remarkable signal strength wherever I’ve been.Setting up the phone with two SIM cards is simple, as you there are two separate SIM bays underneath the battery. It accepts nano-sized SIMs and configuring your phone to use the carrier’s settings is very simple, as you receive a text message with an attachment you can select to install and it does all of the work for you. There’s no fiddling around with confusing settings or web addresses.Texting is easy with an easily configurable T9 autocorrect which is easy to remove if you personally find it a bother. The buttons are large, firm and have good travel so you’re not always pressing the wrong button by mistake.Another feature I found cool was the fact you can use its radio without having to first insert your earphones for it to use as an antenna. The radio feature is as solid as you can expect, with decent reception considering you don’t need to use your earphones as the antenna. In terms of earphone support, it comes with the standard 3.5 mm earphone port.I bought the blue model and I’m very pleasantly surprised with how good the colour looks, it’s a very vibrant blue and it does not feel cheap - it seems to be made of high quality and durable materials.All in all, this is a great quality phone and is perfectly capable at delivering what it promises. I have used previous Nokia 105 models such as the 2015 and 2017 models, and while they’re good in their own way I really do appreciate that this new model supports 4G - and at such a low cost!

Bought this because many countries have discontinued 2g. The original 105 was perfect for travel being small light and having exceptional reception and battery life. This 4g model is ok in those respects but has poor sound quality and reduced features at more than double the price.

Cheap. The most non intuitive phone to use my wife has had.

Bought for 80 year old to use

I was a little disappointed to find NO information with it to get started. It defaults to a very annoying voice announcing each selection (which can be Silenced) Overall for what it cost its a 4g Phone from the reliable Nokia Stable and works fine. They just need to provide info in the box!
