Nokia has just announced the upcoming availability of two new feature phones, the 108 and 108 dual-SIM. Both handsets are expected to go on sale beginning Q4 2013.

According to Nokia, both 108 and 108 dual-SIM feature phones will be available in red, black or white color options for only $29 (€22). Additional colors such as yellow and cyan will be available at a later date.

Nokia 108 and 108 dual-SIM are similar when it comes to specs sheet with only one difference, the latter comes with an additional SIM slot.

Both handsets measure 110.4 x 47 x 13.5mm and weigh around 70g (battery included). They also sport small 1.8-inch TFT displays that support 65K colors.

Aside from the small price and dual-SIM support, the main attraction of the phones are the built-in VGA cameras included, which will allow users to take snapshots while on the go.

Moreover, with Nokia's Slam technology, users will be able to share content faster and more easily with their friends and family via Bluetooth.

Although the phones do not offer enough storage, they come with microSD card slot for memory expansion up to 32GB.

In addition, Nokia 108 and 108 dual-SIM feature integrated MP3 players, FM radio, multiple alarms, flashlight and the popular Snake game.

Nokia also states that the phones are powered by a more than decent battery that should provide up to 31 days of standby time, up to 14 hours of talk time or up to 45 hours of music playback time.

“We continue to connect millions of people, including those for whom mobile phone ownership was previously out of reach. There remains a huge segment of the global population that has yet to own a camera phone. For the next billion people and beyond, we aim to bring new mobile experiences to ever-lower price points, and the Nokia 108 and Nokia 108 Dual SIM are great examples of this commitment,” said Timo Toikkanen, executive vice president, mobile phones, Nokia.
