Nokia 106

This is a phone stripped down to the essentials: calls, texts, and a torch when you need one. There's no Wifi, no Bluetooth, no GPS, just a 1.8-inch TFT screen at 128 x 160 pixels and 384 kB of RAM, enough for a phonebook and a calculator, nothing more. The 800 mAh battery is the real selling point here since a screen this small and features this basic sip power slowly, so standby time stretches for days rather than hours.

Nokia 106 price in Malaysia starts from RM95, putting it firmly in backup-phone or first-phone-for-a-child territory. It weighs 74.2g and comes in Black, White, or Red, with a 3.5mm jack and loudspeaker included for calls and FM radio.

Don't expect apps or a camera; this handles calls, texts, and a handful of built-in tools like a calculator and expense manager. For anyone who wants a device that just works without needing to be charged every night, that's the whole pitch.
