Looks like a new rival has entered for Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio in smartphone market. Ambani has highlighted his vision to sway the feature phone market by making them affordable, data centric and also having amazing features. This even led to the eventual launch of JioPhone 2 last year - it concentrates more on rural market. Everyone believed that Reliance Jio, via Jio Phone and Jio Phone 2, had sewed up the market. But guess what! HMD Global has now launched a new feature phone, Nokia 106 in India, at a starting price of just Rs 1,299. On its website, Nokia 106 is described as a phone that perfectly fits in your hand. 

Made from tough polycarbonate, Nokia 106 is built to last. Its coloring runs deep into the material, which makes scratches less detectable. 

In terms of market price, Nokia 106 is quite cheap compared to JioPhone 2 which is offered at more than double rate of Rs 2,999. But is the former better than the latter in case of services and features? Let’s find out! 

Nokia 106 is boosted for having a long lasting battery, as it is packed to deliver 21 days standby between charges and you can also talk over fifteen hours on a single charge. You can also use a standard USB charger to power up. With this, Nokia 106 has 800 mAh battery.

Nokia 106 also holds up to 2000 contacts and 500 text messages, so you can easily keep in touch with your business network, friends and family.

The Nokia 106 size excluding camera measures as 111.15 x 49.5 x 14.4 mm, whereas weight including battery comes at 70.2 gram. The phone has a network speed of GSM 900/1800(EU). Apart from this, the phone will be available in Dark Grey color.
