  "account": "HMD has introduced the HMD 105 4G School Edition, a feature phone intended for parents seeking to keep their children connected without exposing them to common smartphone distractions. This phone supports only calls and text messages, eliminating several features that are present on regular HMD and Nokia feature phones. The device lacks a web browser, recording function, and the popular Snake game. Instead, it includes a PIN-protected parental control system. Parents can manage Bluetooth, MMS, and the FM radio through this system. The restrictions are meant to provide students with basic communication while granting parents greater control over other features. The hardware for the School Edition is largely the same as the standard HMD 105 4G. It boasts a 2.4-inch display with a resolution of 240 × 320, 64MB of RAM, and 128MB of internal storage. A microSD card slot allows for additional storage up to 32GB. The phone can connect to 2G, 3G, and 4G networks, as well as Bluetooth 5.0. However, parents can disable Bluetooth via the parental controls. It also features a USB-C charging port and a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired headphones. The device can hold up to 2,000 contacts. The HMD 105 4G School Edition is powered by a removable 1,450mAh battery, which HMD claims can offer up to 15 days of standby time. The company has not yet disclosed the phone's price or listed the countries where it will be available.",
