kia 106 2018 edition is w officially available for purchase in India at a sub $30 price tag. This handset is a feature phone, and USP of phone is its claimed 16 hour battery life on us that can be termed general. At this juncture, it is worth understanding that feature phones still hold decent user share globally as per a recent research report.Even kia branding, by HMD Global, is said to have retained substantial number of users as far as feature phones are concerned.

w, kia 106 (2018) is available for purchase online; and e-tailer Flipkart has currently put a Rs 1538 ($23) price tag on handset. phone is also selling for Rs 1478 ($22) on Amazon. Also, with HMD Global seemingly laying equal emphasis on feature phones, as that of Android-driven smartphones, loyalist base of kia brand especially in countries like India comes to fore. It is worth ting that kia from time of its debut in India till its latest HMD Global branding has still been capturing eyeballs specifically in tier-2 markets as well as in urban centres with people owning a secondary feature-phone to complement ir primary smartphones.

“stalgia” factor with respect to kia branding is also seemingly relevant in India; which is evident by fact that above research report (by Counterpoint research, called Counterpoint Market Monitor) lists kia 3310 (priced at Rs 3000 roughly) as a preferred feature phone amongst global user base; with India also accounting for a decent number of users.

Hence, with feature phones still seemingly relevant, purchasing of se is w upto intelligence of potential buyers (fans of a brand). In related developments, kia 8110 which is a feature-phone offering LTE capabilities is available for purchase online at roughly Rs 6000. This phone is driven by teh Kai operating platform that should w offer support for popular applications such as WhatsApp, YouTube, and Facebook.
