Here is my honest review of the struggle to delete Snake, Ninja Up, and the other bloatware on this otherwise excellent backup phone. I bought the Nokia 105 specifically for my elderly father (and later for a digital detox for myself). The goal was simple: Calls, texts, and a week-long battery. However, the device comes with three built-in games (typically Snake , Ninja Up , and Tetris ).

If you absolutely must remove the games, your only option is to buy a different phone, like the Nokia 110 (4G) which allows some app management, or move to a Punkt. / Light Phone (though those are much more expensive). For the Nokia 105, you get the games whether you like it or not.

The only way to "hide" them is to navigate to the Settings > Phone Settings > (Rename the folder?) – but on most 105 models, you can't even do that. You just have to train your thumb not to click "Games."

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5 – for customization) / ★★★★☆ (4/5 – for the phone itself)

If you are buying the Nokia 105 as a minimalist "dumbphone" to escape distractions, I have some bad news:

HMD Global (the maker) needs to release a "Lockdown" or "Essential" firmware that allows deletion of these apps. Until then, you are stuck with Snake.
