Nokia 105 4G — A simple, reliable feature-phone for connection made easy

Overview

The Nokia 105 4G is a no‐frills, classic feature phone that prioritizes voice calling, long battery life, and essential features. It strikes a balance between affordability and functionality: you get 4G connectivity for calls (and basic browsing) plus some extras like FM radio and an MP3 player.

Key features & specifications


Here are the highlights:

  • 4G connectivity + HD calling: The device supports VoLTE/HD voice over 4G networks, which means clearer call quality than older 2G/3G basic phones. 
  • Long battery standby/talk time: It uses a removable 1,450 mAh battery (in recent version) and claims (in one specification) up to ~15 days standby. 
  • Feature‐phone essentials: The phone includes an LED flashlight/torch, FM radio, MP3 player support, up to 2,000 contacts storage, and a large tactile keypad with zoomed interface option for ease of use. 
  • Design & usability: In the 2024 edition, the display is listed as ~2.0” (an upgrade from earlier 1.8”) and it comes in colors such as Charcoal, Purple or Blue. It has a solid internal frame for durability. 
  • Dual SIM: The phone supports dual SIM, making it practical for users who want two numbers (for personal & work) or a local/foreign SIM. 
  • Basic specs: For instance, one source lists a 1.8" screen, 120×160 pixels resolution, Unisoc T107 chipset, 4 MB RAM / 128 MB ROM (!) for one variant. 
  • Durability & simple interface: Given the large buttons, zoomed interface and “Readout feature” (which can talk you through what you’re doing) in some markets, it's clearly designed for ease of use (older users, simple communication). 

What makes it appealing


For users who simply want voice calls, SMS and light extras (radio, MP3), this phone is ideal.

The long battery life means less frequent charging, and less worry if you’re using it as a backup or secondary phone.

It is very affordable, making it accessible for budget-conscious buyers, older users who want simplicity, or kids/backup devices.

4G + HD voice makes it more future-proof compared to older 2G feature phones, especially in markets where operators are phasing out older networks.

The durable build and large buttons make it user‐friendly for older populations or anyone wanting minimal distractions.

Pricing & availability in the Philippines

On e-commerce listings in the Philippines, you’ll find the Nokia 105 4G priced around ₱1,090 from Shopee for the model we found.

Another site listed it at ₱1,590 (though that might reflect a variant or include shipping/taxes). 

One local reseller listed a “Nokia 105 4th Edition – Dual SIM” at ₱990 (but note that may be a 2G/4th Edition rather than the 4G version). 

In summary: expect around ₱1,000–₱1,600 in the Philippines for a new unit (subject to color/variant/promotions).

Be sure to check that the specific model is indeed the “4G” version (not just 2G or older edition) if 4G functionality is important to you.

Considerations & limitations


Although it has 4G for calls, this is not a smartphone: you won’t have full app ecosystems (like Android), large touchscreens, high‐resolution cameras, etc.

The storage & specs are minimal (for example 4 MB RAM / 128 MB ROM on some listing). That means it’s best suited for basic phone use, not media‐heavy tasks. 

If you’re buying for overseas use, check network band compatibility (especially 4G bands) to ensure local operators are supported.

Because it’s very low cost, promotions/stock may vary and you might find slight price fluctuations depending on seller, color, included accessories, or region.

While the battery is good for standby and calls, if you heavily use radio or MP3 playback you’ll still want to charge regularly.

Final verdict

If you’re looking for a dependable, affordable feature phone with 4G calling, long battery life and simplicity, the Nokia 105 4G is a very strong contender. Its advantage lies in being minimal yet modern enough (4G + HD voice) for everyday voice/SMS use without the complexity or cost of a full smartphone.

For users in the Philippines: with prices around ₱1,000–₱1,600, it’s a budget‐friendly option. Whether for an older relative, as a backup phone, or for someone who wants to disconnect from smartphone overload while still staying reachable — this model ticks many useful boxes.

Cheerio!

Hanamichi Sakuragi: In Real Life

I am not that young, though I am not that old to have watched the Manga Series Slum Dunk. A lot of people is being fascinated with the game of basketball. Almost everyone knows how to play the game. Maybe, just maybe, NBA really popularized the sports. Apparently, one story caught my attention, and surely, it is really worth to tell ;-) Slam Dunk (スラムダンク Suramu Danku?) is a sports-themed manga series written by Takehiko Inoue about a basketball team from Shōhoku High School. It was first serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan from 1990 to 1996 and had also been adapted into an anime series by Toei Animation which had been broadcast worldwide, enjoying much popularity particularly in Japan, several other Asian countries and Europe. Inoue later used basketball as a central theme in two subsequent manga titles: Buzzer Beater and Real. In 2010, Inoue received special commendations from the Japan Basketball Association for helping popularize basketball in Japan. ...

Gold in 10-Peso Philippine Coin

Image
The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) is the central bank of the Republic of the Philippines. It was established on 3 July 1993 pursuant to the provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution and the New Central Bank Act of 1993. The BSP took over from the Central Bank of Philippines, which was established on 3 January 1949, as the country’s central monetary authority. The BSP enjoys fiscal and administrative autonomy from the National Government in the pursuit of its mandated responsibilities. The new BSP logo is a perfect round shape in blue that features three gold stars and a stylized Philippine eagle rendered in white strokes. These main elements are framed on the left side with the text inscription “Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas” underscored by a gold line drawn in half circle. The right side remains open, signifying freedom, openness, and readiness of the BSP, as represented by the Philippine eagle, to soar and fly toward its goal. Putting all these elements together is a ...

The Most Expensive Philippine Coin Ever Sold

Image
I personally am fond of collecting old coins. I have an ample collection, and decent if I may add, of Philippine old coins. Though I collect coins for a hobby, some people kept on asking me how I acquire those coins and if I’m selling one. So in some cases, when I visit the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (Central Bank of the Philippines), I always try to order an additional from my own to sell or give it as a gift to my friends. I always wonder, what Philippine coin is the most expensive ever sold, and how much. Priced at $22, 000 or Php 1,038,136.00 as of this writing ($1 = Php 47.19), the 1903 San Francisco Mint fifty centavos is perhaps the most expensive United States-Philippines coin ever sold. Only 2 specimens have reported and only one formally auctioned for the price mentioned. Do not mistake this one for the common 1903 Philadelphia Mint fifty centavos. This coin is an absolute rarity. How this coin surfaced? The story behind that incident is still a myste...
