Nokia C2-05 Touch and Type

This is a basic feature phone built for calls, texts and simple apps, not a smartphone. The Nokia C2-05 price in Malaysia starts from RM178, putting it firmly in budget territory for anyone who just needs a reliable backup or first phone. Its 2.0-inch TFT screen runs at 240 x 320 pixels, and storage is limited to 64 MB internally, though a microSD card up to 32 GB stretches that for music and files.

There's no WiFi or GPS here, so this stays offline-focused; Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP handles file sharing and wireless audio instead. The rear camera is VGA-only, fine for quick snapshots but nothing more, and there's no front camera for selfies or video calls.

Battery life leans on a small 860 mAh Li-Ion cell, paired with a light 98.5g body that's easy to pocket. You still get FM radio with recording, MP3 playback, and touch-and-type input, plus basic apps like Facebook and Twitter for simple connectivity.
