‘The new Nokia 105 builds on the success of its predecessor, the award-winning Nokia 105, and adds several improvements to enable you to achieve more,’ the firm said.
On top of the enhanced audio for even better voice clarity, you can now talk longer; the new Nokia 105 supports up to 15-hours talk time.

With an extended phonebook capacity, the new Nokia 105 can store up to 2,000 contacts.
It’s now the cheapest phone in the Finnish firm’s range, and was hailed as ‘the ultimate festival phone’ at its launch.
‘Of course we’ve kept the incredible battery life for which that our mobiles phones have been known! Up to 35 days standby time – yes, that’s more than a month on a single battery charge – means you don’t need to worry about constantly charging your phone,’ it said.
It will also be available in a dual sim version.
A spokesman for Nokia said: ‘The phone was created to offer the essentials – phone calls and SMS – but also some desirable extras.
