Though the markets are flooded by high-end smartphones, there is still a great demand for low-end phones that offer the basic function of calling and few other things.

You can continue listening to your music while working on other applications, which is a big plus. The call quality is good and there are no noises or audibility related issues with the phone. Its 800mAh Li-ion gives you a talk time of 9 hours and a standby time of up to 560 hours. The torch accompanying the phone can be lit-up to 40 hours, something you’ll admire once the electricity in your house ditches you.
The GSM supporting bar phone features a 1.43-inches screen, which is good enough to help you see things even in the bright daylight. Even at a budget price, it doesn’t compromise with the connectivity features providing GPRS and EDGE that would help you stay connected. You can access your mails and browse over the Internet at a budget price. It also comes with a USB cord to help you exchange data with other compatible devices. It comes with 1 MB of in-built memory that helps you store 200 contacts and 100 messages at a time. You can tune into FM radio for latest news or entertainment. Another useful feature is the torchlight that offers enough brightness in dark.
