Right, let’s take a closer look at the Nokia 105 Africa Edition.
On the front of the device are physical buttons, unlike smartphones of today, as well as the 1.77-inch display. The Polycarbonate back has no camera and feels well made, underneath you will find the micro USB port and headphone jack, and at the top is a flashlight.
The back cover is removable, as this is where the battery and sim card go, this is bringing back loads of memories! The 800 mAh battery gets inserted and the cover is easily placed back on.
To turn on the Nokia 105 the power button, which also ends calls, is held.
Pressing buttons versus using a touch screen brings back memories for sure, and I am loving the sounds that it makes from the single speaker located above the display.
It has a solid, modern design that fits perfectly in your hand, in either charcoal or blue. The inherent colour minimizes the visibility of any potential scratches. The phone is really light and only weighs 70G.
The Nokia 105 runs the Series 30+ Operating System and is really easy and simple to use. If smartphones are too complicated for you, then the Nokia 105 is what you need.
Simply press the middle button in the direction that you want to go.
You can listen to news, sports and entertainment on the go with the wireless FM radio without needing to plug in a headset.
The Nokia 105 comes with pre-loaded games, including Snake, to keep you entertained!
The Nokia 105 comes with enough storage space for up to 2,000 contacts (I mean I don’t even know 2000 people), putting all of their details right at your fingertips. Plus, with room for up to 500 SMS messages, there’s no hurry to clear out your texts.
These Nokia devices are known to last for days on end, and this device is no different. The Nokia 105 comes with a battery that lets you chat for hours on a single charge. When you need to power up, you’ll be doing it with the handy Micro USB charger.
When the Nokia 105 rings, you can choose a few ring tones, but in particular the classic Nokia ringtone, I mean why would you not use it in 2022!
The Nokia 105 also has a built-in torch to help you light the way when you are in the dark thanks to loadshedding.
Overall, the Nokia 105 is really well made, and it should last years and years, much like any Nokia device that I have seen. The Nokia 105 Africa Edition is available from R279 from selected retailers, so is nice and cheap if you don’t want to spend more than a few hundred rands on a cell phone.
