Samsung E1195

This is a stripped-down feature phone built for calls and texts, nothing more. The 1.43-inch CSTN display runs at 128 x 128 pixels, paired with just 8 MB of internal storage and no slot for expansion. There's no Wifi, no Bluetooth, no GPS, so don't expect any connectivity beyond basic calls and SMS on a Mini-SIM.

Samsung E1195 price in Malaysia starts from RM90, making it one of the cheapest options around if all you need is a backup phone or something for a parent who wants simplicity. The 800 mAh battery is small by modern standards but matches the phone's low-power display and lack of smart features, so standby time should still hold up well.

It comes in Black or Red, weighs 71g, and includes an FM radio, voice memo, and predictive text input. There's a loud speaker built in too, though no sound jack. It's built for basic use, not multitasking.
