MWC is the time when company’s display their prowess and Nokia after showcasing their smartphone strength have displayed as to why are they the kings of the feature phone segment. Nokia has announced at the MWC two new feature phones, the 105 and the 301.

There’s not much that in the 105 to talk about. It comes with a brightly coloured screen and features a flashlight, FM radio, multiple alarm clocks, speaking clock; a dust and splash-proof, pillowed key pad and a flashlight. But the only reason why it would sell like hot cakes is that Nokia claims it to have a battery life of 35 days and in real life, it will translate into a standby time of atleast 25 days. It makes sense for the rural folks in India who do not get electricity very often. It will come at a price of around Rs.1,000 which would make it kind of a steal.
