Nokia 130

Nokia might have quit the smartphones market entirely. However, when it comes to low end, no frill phones, they are still the leaders - which brings us to the Nokia 130. Looking for a simple, no frills, affordable handset for your mom? This might just be the one! The Nokia 103, launched back in 2014 remains one of the most affordable handsets you could buy in India. Featuring the now forgotten physical keyboard, the Nokia 103 is a welcome dash of simplicity in a world filled with complex smartphones. The Nokia 103 features a 1.8 inch, 120*160 pixel color display and expandable memory for those who wish to do a bit more than just make and receive calls and send text messages. The Nokia 130 comes in two avatars - this one being the single SIM version. For those with multiple SIM cards, there is a dual SIM version as well.

Apart from being very easy to use, the Nokia 130 also happens to be quite stylish - not something you would usually associate with handsets of its class. The chiclet style keypad, various color options and the glossy front panel add a classy touch to the handset. While it remains a simple, no frills handset, there are some welcome additions that make life a bit easier for a potential owner. For example, the phone sports the now ubiquitous micro USB port for charging (and data transfer). There is FM radio support, native video and music players as well. Connectivity options are aplenty with Bluetooth and USB thrown in. And yes, there is a very usable flashlight feature thrown in. Very useful in power-cut laden rural India!

The Nokia 130 claims a video playback time of over 16 hours, music playback time of over 46 hours and the standby time is a staggering 36 days - thanks to its 1020 mAH battery. The internal phonebook is capable of storing 500 contacts.
