Nokia 206

Basic feature phones like this one trade smartphone features for simplicity and battery life. The Nokia 206 runs a 2.4-inch TFT screen at 240 x 320 pixels, fine for texting, calling, and browsing simple menus but not built for apps or heavy browsing. There's no WiFi or GPS here, though Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR lets you shuffle files between devices.

Storage sits at just 64 MB internally, so you'll want that microSD slot, which takes cards up to 32 GB, if you plan to store music or photos. The rear camera is a modest 1.3 MP unit, enough for casual snapshots, and there's no front camera at all. A 1100 mAh battery keeps things running for calls and standby, and at 91 grams the phone is light enough to carry without notice. Nokia 206 price in Malaysia starts from RM330, putting it firmly in budget backup-phone territory rather than daily smartphone use.
