Recently got a Nokia 130 for ~1.7k as it was a 'Nokia' and wanted micro USB charging as no lower model had it. Sad to say that I'm not very satisfied with it. SMS capacity is very limited and gets exhaused in a few weeks itself these days with OTPs and online shopping updates etc. And the software is looking very unintuitive as there have hardly been any changes since years. No unified call log, no option to customise shortcut keys. I would recommend to look into other brands which seem to offer better features at lower prices.

I use Nokia 130, very happy with it, don't need SMS memory

How is
Nokia 105
Samsung Guru 1200
Intex Eco Plus

yup. i would not buy a Nokia unless you get one of the high end feature phones. samsung would be my choice.

Nokia as a company does not exists (at least for next 6 months), so its better to go with reliable Samsung if somebody looking to get service done for some minor damage to phone.

Intex Eco Plus is available for Rs 700 and has some good reviews online.
How is it?

if some minor damage do occur to these phones, people just buy a new one 😀

+1 for Samsung. They make some good feature phones. Have two at home which are atleast couple of years old and both works fine.

^^^ Me too have these 2 Samsung phones for my parents (Samsung Guru Music 2 - Full phone specifications for 1 year and Samsung E2252 - Full phone specifications for 2 years). Both phones going good. Besides both phones have Indian language UI, in case somebody not comfortable with Engligh UI.

Few months back I visited Nokia Care when my Lumia 830 screen was having issue. There I saw almost 90% people came with issues with their Nokia feature phones. Issues varied from no sound while call, or buttons not working, or screen not working, etc. Those phones costed mostly Rs 2000~3000, yet people wanted them repaired. Good thing was Nokia Care was repairing them for "minor" issues.
For major issues, Nokia Care representatives suggested to buy new phone 😀

I too have the E2252. The other one is Samsung E1410 - Full phone specifications. Both are solid phones. Nokia feature phones are not upto the mark these days. Even @Sushubh is not happy with the one he has.

Thinking of buying Samsung Guru Music 2
How is Intex Eco Plus?

icar · Dec 2, 2016

It's Ok!
- loud speaker
- fit & finish Good
- memory card slot bit tricky to open & close
- signal strength good
- my finger is too fat so bit difficult to unlock the phone

Got this phone for (699-50) Rs 649

@tech_help 🙂
