Back in June, Microsoft unveiled the Nokia 105 and Nokia 105 Dual SIM as the company’s most affordable phones ever.

Don’t kid yourselves, the Nokia 105 duo is not similar to most smartphones launching on the market today, and Redmond says they are the best choice for those buying a personal phone for the first time or looking for a device to last them during long trips.

Well, today Microsoft is making the Nokia 105 Dual SIM available in India, where customers can pick it up for approximately $21 / €19, as reported by NDTV.

The phone arrives with a 1.45-inch LCD display with 128 x 128 pixel resolution and offers an extended phonebook capacity, so users can end up storing up to 2,000 contacts.

The Nokia 105 Dual SIM will be available in three different color versions in the country, including cyan, black and white. The phones will also take advantage of two essential features for such a phone, namely a torch and FM radio.

What’s more, users will be able to play a bunch of games on the devices, but it’s not going to be anything too fancy. Nevertheless, Microsoft is making available two of its legendary games: Snake Zenzia and Bubble Bash 2.

As for connectivity, the Nokia 105 Dual SIM includes a micro-USB charger connector and 3.5 mm AV connector. What the new phone stands out with is its massive battery life. The 800 mAh power box that supports the phone is said to be able to last up to 35 days on standby (up to 25 days on Dual SIM) and offer up to 15 hours of talk time.

So that’s why Microsoft says this is the phone to take when you’re planning to go on camping trip or a longer expedition and need to be keeping in touch with the folks at home. On top of that, the phone is small and breaks the scales at 69.6 g / 0.15 lbs, so it won’t weigh down on you.
