From Nokia 5710 to JioPhone Prima 4G, 8 feature phones packed with smartphone-like features

The JioPhone Prima 4G also supports the JioPay app for UPI payments, so you can send and receive money with ease. The phone has a 2.4-inch display, a 2,000mAh battery, and an ARM Cortex A53 processor. The best part is the price: only Rs 2,599, available via Amazon, JioMart, and official Jio stores.

Lava Pulse 1

The Google Pixel 8 Pro may come with a thermometer but the Lava Pulse 1 goes a step further by packing a heart rate and blood pressure monitoring sensor into the select button. Now heart rate measurement is easy to get right – remember those pulse rate apps that used the camera flash to detect heartbeats? But the Lava Pulse 1 goes a step further by offering blood pressure monitoring as well. It does sound impressive but is also dubious, since Lava has not revealed how it works or how accurate it is.

The Lava Pulse 1 is not just a health gadget, though. It also has a 2.4-inch TFT display with a keypad, dual sim support, and a decent 1,800mAh battery. The price is not bad either, starting at Rs 1,990, but you can probably find it cheaper on other platforms.

Nokia 2660 Flip

You might have seen those fancy foldable and flippable smartphones that are all the rage these days, but do you know what inspired them? That’s right, those cool flip phones that were popular about two decades ago. The Nokia 2660 Flip is a tribute to those classic phones, with a modern twist.

It has two displays: a 2.8-inch QVGA unit on the inside and a 1.77-inch QQVGA on the outside. The outer display lets you see some useful information like the caller ID, while you can flip the phone shut to end calls with style. The phone also comes with UPI 123PAY support, which means you don’t need an internet connection to send or receive money.

JioPhone 2

The JioPhone 2 is another feature phone that runs on KaiOS, just like the Jio Prima 4G. This means that it comes with a bunch of preloaded apps such as MyJio, JioSaavn, JioTV, JioCinema, JioXpressNews, JioVideoCall, JioPay, and JioGames. You can also access other popular apps like WhatsApp through the JioStore.

But what sets this phone apart from others is the full-fledged QWERTY keyboard allowing you to have a proper smartphone-style typing experience where you don’t need to press the same button thrice to input one letter. The JioPhone 2 also boasts a large 2.40-inch horizontal display making it ideal for watching videos on the go.

Nokia 130 Music 2023

Feature phones aren’t exactly known for their audio quality but Nokia promises audio that can fill the “whole room, loud and clear, from dawn ‘til dusk” with the massive speaker unit on the back. The phone also has a sleek design that fans of minimalism would appreciate. Apart from that, the phone has a 2.4-inch display and a large 1,450mAh battery that Nokia claims can last for 30 days on standby.

Itel Muzik 430

What if you wanted a feature phone with a smartphone-sized battery? That’s what the Itel Muzik 430 offers with its massive 3,000mAh battery – a capacity that dwarfs most of its competitors in the segment. This phone delivers up to 70 days of standby time, according to Itel. Aside from this, the phone is similar to the Nokia 130 Music in that it’s a music-oriented phone and features a massive “Super 3D Stereo Speaker.”

Nokia 5710 XpressAudio

A feature phone and a pair of TWS earbuds are not your usual combo but Nokia with the 5710 XpressAudio wants to make that a thing. This handset may look like the average classic Nokia phone at first, but flip it around and you’ll see a slide-out panel that houses a pair of true wireless earbuds. The compact size of the phone means this the whole package is essentially a TWS case with a display. Read our full review of the device to decide if it’s worth getting.

Nokia 105 Classic (2023)

UPI support in a sub-Rs 1K handset is a rare feat but Nokia has achieved just that with the 105 Classis (2023). This phone has an 800mAh battery, supports FM radio wirelessly, and costs just Rs 999.
