This phone costs almost 1,600 PKR and according to the Finnish company the battery lasts for 35 days.
The 105 comes with a full-color screen, Torch and FM radio, making phone calls and texting is very easy with this phone. In Pakistan once Nokia dominated the Ultra low costs phones market, but now Chinese manufacturers and local brands like Q Mobile are growing more popular.
