Buyers might feel annoyed upon unboxing the phone to find that a charger is missing, requiring extra effort and a separate purchase to make the device usable.

Buy it if

If you are looking for a reliable backup phone for making simple voice calls, this Nokia device costs ₹1,009 and gets the job done easily. The physical keypad and clear calling experience work well. However, you must keep in mind that a charger is not included in the box, meaning you will need to use an older charger you already own. If you want a straightforward emergency phone for an elderly family member, the simple interface and physical buttons at ₹1,009 are very easy to handle. The screen is clear enough for reading simple texts. Just remember that you have to buy or find a compatible charger separately since the retail box leaves it out.

Skip it if

If you need a phone that can manage two different mobile numbers at the same time, you should skip this single SIM model and look for a dual SIM alternative instead. At ₹1,009, managing only one active connection can be frustrating for people juggling personal and work numbers, especially since a charger is not included in the package. If you expect a complete out-of-the-box charging solution with your new purchase, avoid this variant because it ships without a charger. Finding a separate compatible charging adapter adds extra cost and annoyance to a budget phone purchase. Look for standard complete packages that include the power brick in the box.
