Nokia has give it all they have in them to the Lumia series of smartphones and with the company discontinuing their propreitary OS, Symbian, the Windows Phone OS is going to be the only OS that will power their devices in near future. But the only problem the Lumia series has is that the number of smartphones in the range is quite less and the devices are not present in every segment for different consumers.

Nokia 105 And 301 Budget Feature And Smart Phones Launched

Nokia has been doing just fine in the smartphone segment but it is the feature phone market that brings them the maximum number of volumes and keeps them right at the top when it comes to the number of devices shipped. 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.
