Feature phones, also known as basic phones, are mobile phones that offer limited features compared to smartphones. They are primarily designed for making calls and sending text messages, and some models may come with basic internet connectivity, a camera, and other simple features. These phones are ideal for people who do not want to spend a lot of money on a mobile device or do not need all the advanced features of a smartphone. However, you can still use select smart features such as making UPI payments, watching YouTube, and reading emails on these phones. They are also popular in areas with poor internet connectivity, as they consume less data and can be used to make voice calls even in areas with limited network coverage.
