Nokia 222

This is a basic feature phone, not a smartphone, so don't expect app stores or fast browsing. The 2.4-inch TFT display runs at 240 x 320 pixels, enough for texting, calling, and navigating the menu, but nothing more. Internal memory is limited to 16 MB, though a microSD card up to 32 GB covers photos and music.

The 2 MP rear camera captures basic snapshots at 1600 x 1200 pixels, and there's no front camera for selfies. There's also no WiFi or GPS, so this phone sticks to calls, texts, FM radio, and offline media playback like MP3 and MP4 files. Nokia 222 price in Malaysia starts from RM199, which fits its stripped-down feature set.

Battery life should hold up well since a 1100 mAh Li-Ion cell has little to power beyond calls and a small screen. At 79g and 12.9mm thick, it's light and pocketable, sold in Black or White.
