Nokia Asha 200

This is a basic feature phone built around a physical QWERTY keypad, aimed at texting and calls rather than apps or browsing. The 2.4-inch TFT screen runs at 320 x 240 pixels, and with only 32MB of RAM and 64MB of ROM, there's no room for anything demanding. A microSD slot adds up to 32GB if you need more space for music or files.

The rear camera is a modest 2MP unit, fine for quick snapshots but not much else, and there's no front camera for selfies. Video capture tops out at 176x144 at 10fps, which tells you this phone predates any real multimedia ambitions. Nokia Asha 200 price in Malaysia starts from RM308. There's no Wifi or GPS here, but Bluetooth 2.1 and a microUSB port cover basic connectivity, and the 1430 mAh battery should comfortably outlast phones with bigger screens and always-on data.
