Nokia 106 (2018) is Another Non-4G Feature Phone from HMD Global

Follow Us

The Finnish upstart company, HMD Global seems to be taking the feature phone market very seriously. The fact was proven again as the company has now launched Nokia 106 (2018) which comes as the successor to the original Nokia 106 released way back in August 2013. However, this time, HMD has turned things around and packed in a bunch of improvements to this feature phone. The handset has been designed out of polycarbonate which features “inherent colouring”. HMD Global also promises 21 days of standby time and 15 hours of talk time on this phone. Further, what makes this handset worth noticing is the contoured design which lends this feature phone a more ergonomic look.
