Finland-based HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today (July 17) announced the dual release of both the Nokia 105 and Nokia 130.

Featuring refreshed, ergonomic designs, both phones feature 1.8-inch colour screens, handy LED torch lights and sleek, contoured designs, with each phone being available in a range of three colours.    

Nokia 105

With well over 200 million Nokia 105s sold to date around the world, this award winning handset now features an all new sculpted ergonomic design, outstanding battery life, and improved usability, with a larger screen size and new tactile island keymat.

The new keymat features separated keys for improved usability, while the larger 1.8-inch screen delivers a better viewing experience when playing games, like Snake Xenzia, which comes preloaded. Taking full advantage of the larger screen, the Nokia 105 also comes preloaded with two try and buy games - Doodle Jump and Crossy Road.

Plus, with up to 15 hours talk time and a month long standby, the Nokia 105 lets you talk from sunrise to sunset on just one charge. It provides storage space for up to 500 text messages and up to 2,000 contacts.

Available in Dual and Single SIM variants, the Nokia 105 also features an inbuilt FM Radio and charges using a standard Micro USB cable (USB 2.0).  

Nokia 130

The Nokia 130 offers up to 44 hours of FM radio playback time and room for thousands of songs when you add up to 32GB of MicroSD card storage.

The clear 1.8-inch colour screen offers a great viewing experience when enjoying video via a MicroSD card. Offering 11.5 hours of video playback on a single charge, the Nokia 130 features Bluetooth support for a headset or speakers.

With its inbuilt camera, the Nokia 130 lets you take pictures and record video clips, which you can then play back using a Micro SD card. And with the Nokia 130, sharing your content is simple. Share videos, contacts and more simply by enabling Bluetooth and bringing your Nokia 130 close to another Bluetooth-enabled phone for quick and easy transfer. The Nokia 130 also supports a MicroSD card, expandable up to 32 GB.

"With more than 4 billion people remaining offline[ix] and unable to benefit from the social and economic development opportunities of the internet, simply getting connected by voice and text is still such an important step for many people around the world," said Arto Nummela, CEO, HMD Global.

"More than 400 million feature phones were sold globally in 2016. We cannot underestimate the need and benefit of being connected and we are dedicated to delivering devices that can enable many people around the world to expand their horizon."

Both the Nokia 105 and the Nokia 130 feature the ever popular LED torchlight - simply press the up key twice to quickly turn the torch on and off.

Retailing at a global average price of $14.50 for the single SIM variant and $15 for the dual SIM variant, excluding taxes and subsidies, the Nokia 105 will be available in blue, white and black - each colour with a matte finish.
