Nokia Mobile unveiled the all-new Nokia 106 at a surprise launch event held on Twitter. Nokia 106 was launched at a lightning speed and the launch event was one of the fastest and the most unique launch events ever. 😉 To be honest, I really liked it. :)

The phone was officially launched on Twitter by Juho Sarvikas - CPO of HMD Global where he also shared the 1st hands-on video of the Nokia 106 aka Nokia Nemo in Dark Grey color. His tweet below:


 Nokia 106 is a basic feature made out of strong Polycarbonate material and the design reminds me of the Nokia 1100. Nokia 106 is strictly for those looking for a basic feature phone or a secondary phone that is sturdy and also has a long battery life. You can save up to 500 messages and up to 2000 contacts on the Nokia 106 and the main highlight of this phone is its long battery life. On a single charge, Nokia 106 can give up to 15.7 hours of talk time and a long 21 days of Standby time. Nokia 106 can be charged using a Micro USB charger.

It is a basic feature phone but also comes with a few handy tools like Torchlight and FM Radio. In spare time, you can also play the Classic Snake Xenzia and few other games which come pre-installed.

Nokia 106 will retail for a global average retail price of $18 USD or around Rs.1300/- INR. Juho Sarvikas also shared a few images which can be seen in the tweet below:
