When it comes to the modern day world, smartphones tend to rule whatever communications methods there are, but this does not mean that everyone around the world is able to afford a brand new smartphone. After all, there are other “hidden costs” of a smartphone, including the monthly data plan. Microsoft still has a heart for the feature phone market, which is important when it comes to developing markets as well as the novice or non tech-savvy users. The Nokia 105 is the latest staple model from Microsoft fits the bill.
So far, Microsoft has trumpeted the fact that they have sold approximately 100 units each minute since 2013, and I am quite sure that nobody is going to run a business at a loss for the long term, since it is not a charity, which translates to the fact that there is revenue to be made at pocket friendly prices, including the uber cheap $20 Nokia 105.
This would make the Nokia 105 extremely affordable to just about anyone, where it will feature a new rounded design that is a whole lot more comfortable, including shades such as black, white and cyan, allowing the handset to be vibrant, colorful or unobtrusive. There is enough room for up to 2,000 contacts, a dual SIM variant in the pipeline, and a diminutive, replaceable 800mAh battery. [Press Release]
