Nokia 105 4G Edition (2023) Feature Phone with Dual SIM, 1.8 Inch Display, 1450 mAh Battery, 48 MB RAM / 128 MB ROM, Expandable Memory, 3.5 mm Headphone Jack, FM Radio - Charcoal

Very good quality small spare phone. Has a good battery life for the small time it is used. also has good sound quality. It is not the most up to date phone with all of the gadgets of my other phone but as a spare, it works perfectly. Highly recommend.

Bought this as an emergency/backup second phone. The main point is it works fine as a phone (but not for data). It’s a bit cheap and plasticky but it was cheap. The menu system takes me back 20 years but overall as a spare phone I’m happy with it.

I bought this handset to replace my mum’s much‑loved 2015 Nokia 105, whose battery is finally giving up after years of stellar service and is not 4G compatible. Unfortunately, this “upgrade” is nothing short of a downgrade.Software & user‑interface (the deal‑breaker)The menu layout is chaotic: identical icons lead to different functions, while obvious essentials (e.g. alarm, contact search) are buried three levels deep.Key assignments seem random. Sometimes OK selects, sometimes it cancels; the directional pad jumps unpredictably between options.Basic actions—adding a contact, switching to speakerphone, even ending a call—require far too many clicks for anyone, let alone an elderly user.First impressions of buildI can’t fault the plastics or screen yet, but none of that matters when the phone is this frustrating to operate. A robust shell can’t protect you from bad software.After 20 years of making feature phones, how did it get this bad?Nokia used to set the gold standard for no‑nonsense usability. This model feels like it never saw a real‑world test: there’s no consistency, no logic, and certainly no respect for anyone who just wants to make calls and send the odd text.Bottom lineI’m returning it and trying a basic smartphone instead—hard to believe, but even Android’s learning curve will be kinder than this. Save yourself (or your parents) the headache and give this model a miss.

Works great and very nice price

Update, finally got the keypad sounds muted, the phones okay, not a patch on original Nokia phones of old, can see why they lost there market lead, seller responded quick to questions, so fair play

We were looking for a 'dumb phone' for emergency use only for our school-age child as he gains some independence, and we needed something very simplistic without apps or a camera. It has some extra features we absolutely don't need, and I'd love to be able to customise things a bit more, but for basic functionality and the option to adjust volume profiles pretty intensively (it turns out you CAN make keytones silent, if you do it via profiles), I absolutely can't fault it. It feels sturdy enough for the usual knocks you'd expect from a kid's use, the ringer is nice and loud, and it does everything it needs to do.

Good phone but full of bloatware.Nice and loud, good signal quality , decent sound quality, strong battery.Makes you pay for classic games like Tetris which come preinstalled. Quite simple to use once you get used to it and has a sleek design. Could do with an option to remove facebook

Despite what the description of this model says (and what the specs on 'GSM Arena' say, be aware that this model DOES NOT have any Bluetooth connectivity at all, the FM Radio DOES NOT work without a headset, you cannot assign contacts to the speed-dial keys 2 - 9 at all. More importantly, the SIM slots ARE NOT 'Nano' as specified, they are in fact the old 'Mini / Standard' size SIM slots!Okay if you have a SIM adapter, and only need the phone for calls and text messaging, but no good for bluetooth connecting to a car stereo for making calls through the head unit whilst driving.
