On April 25, 2021, Nokia launched the Nokia 105 4G, a mobile phone with a classic monoblock design that supports Alipay, priced at RMB 229 (~$33). Today Nokia introduced a new version of the 105 4G with a larger battery that offers longer life. The new phone is now up for pre-order for 199 yuan (~$29) from its regular price of 229 yuan.

Compared to the old Nokia 105 4G, the new version offers several upgrades, including a 42% increase in battery capacity to 1,450mAh, 32GB storage expansion, Bluetooth 5.0 and support for Migu Music and Himalaya features. However, the audio broadcast feature has been removed. In addition, the phone now has thick keys and is offered in black and blue colors.

Despite the changes, the new phone retains the classic monoblock design and physical buttons, making it an ideal choice for older users, students and those who need a spare phone. Nokia 105 4G HIA remains a standout feature providing quick access to Alipay via right click or payment menu. Payment can be obtained by clicking on the QR code or barcode “payment code”.

Nokia 105 4G supports dual-card dual standby and dual 4G full Netcom as well as dual nano-SIM card slots to allow simultaneous use of two SIM cards in 4G online mode. VoLTE HD voice calling is also supported, making it a great option for those looking for a reliable phone.

Other features of the Nokia 105 4G include a wireless external radio that can be played with or without a speaker. A single button flashlight is available with the “up” button to turn it on and off. Finally, the classic Snake game is pre-installed on the phone.

Equipped with a lightweight UNISOC T107 chip, the new Nokia 105 4G is a worthy successor to the original model. It is scheduled to launch on April 28 and is expected to be a popular choice among consumers looking for a reliable and affordable mobile phone.
