Nokia continues its lineup of budget 4G options with the new Nokia 106 4G. Let’s see what specs and features it offers at an affordable price point.

Hardware, Performance, and Storage

The specs are modest for an entry-level device. Undefined internal storage can be expanded via a microSD card, and a 1450mAh battery promises decent uptime.

A key upgrade over 2G/3G rivals is 4G LTE connectivity on common bands, allowing for faster data when required. Dual SIM and Bluetooth 5.0 are also included.

Software and Features

The Nokia Series 30 OS provides typical phone functions, SMS, FM radio, music and Bluetooth. There is no camera, but games offer brief diversions.

Pricing and Availability

Costing around 30EUR, it undercuts most rivals on price whilst including 4G. Available globally in Charcoal and Ocean Blue hues.

Final Thoughts

For basic call/text needs on a tight budget, the 106 4G is hard to beat given its affordable price tag and 4G connectivity. Recommended for those requiring only the essentials from their mobile device. A great low-cost option.
