Nokia 105 Classic

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Nokia 105 Classic is the benchmark feature phone at 2,999 PKR — the phone you buy for absolute reliability, not features. It has no camera, 4MB of storage, an 800mAh removable battery and a 1.77-inch TFT screen, but it stores up to 2000 contacts and 500 SMS, runs on a simple Unisoc 6531E chip, and its real superpower is durability: it survives drops, lasts days or weeks per charge, and works as a dependable second phone, work handset, or first phone for an elderly family member. There is nothing to go wrong and little to learn. If you need a phone that simply works, this is the safest 2,999 PKR in Pakistan. The Sego Value 200 is 400 PKR cheaper and slightly more capable on paper: a larger 2.0-inch QVGA screen against the Nokia's 1.77-inch, a 0.3MP camera the Nokia lacks, 32MB storage against 4MB, and a 1000mAh battery against 800mAh. But the Nokia counters with its legendary build quality, the established Nokia brand and a removable battery with true durability. The Sego's chipset is unpublished and its brand has no track record in Pakistan, while the Nokia has decades of trust behind it. If you want the most capability for the least money, the Sego edges ahead on specs; if reliability and brand trust matter, the Nokia 105 Classic is the safer 400 PKR more. Very cheap phones like these are counterfeiting targets — buy the Nokia 105 from an authorised retailer and confirm it is a genuine sealed unit.
