Buyers who mistake this 4G feature phone for a full smartphone will regret the purchase immediately due to the tiny 36 MB storage and 1.77-inch screen. However, if bought strictly as a cheap secondary calling device with UPI support, it performs as expected.

Buy it if

If you are looking for a reliable secondary backup phone to make calls and handle UPI payments on the go, spending just ₹1,349 makes total sense. You get 4G connectivity and a 1000 mAh battery that easily lasts. However, you will have to compromise heavily on storage since it only has 36 MB of memory and no space for heavy apps. If you are an elderly user or someone who only wants a simple keypad phone for voice calls with long talk time, this device is very budget-friendly. At ₹1,349, it gives you a physical keypad, call timer, and hands-free support. Just keep in mind that the tiny 1.77-inch display and basic 0.3MP camera are only good for bare minimum tasks.

Skip it if

If you are a regular smartphone user looking for a primary daily device to browse social media, watch videos, or snap pictures, you should skip this completely. With a 1.77-inch LCD, 0.3MP camera, and 36 MB storage, it cannot run modern apps. Look for a proper entry-level smartphone instead of this basic feature phone. If you expect expandable storage or a front camera for selfies and video calls, look elsewhere. This single SIM phone lacks front optics, Wi-Fi, and adequate memory for media files. You will quickly feel restricted by the 36 MB ROM, so spend a bit more on a device with proper expandable storage.
