Less than 10K Feature phone with 4g volte support.

Looking to buy one for a senior relative.

Dont need things like whatsapp, camera, upi ,dual sim etc.

Good display,Volte support ,type c and sturdy build quality are the only requirements .

Unfortunately hmd is selling cheap knockoffs in Nokia 's name.

Actually HMD acquired the Nokia brand in 2016 but sometime this year decided to drop it altogether and use their own brand. So the phones you see in the market are genuine Nokia brand phones even though HMD do not make them any more.

10k is actually a lot for a feature phone. Most of them though have low resolution screens and hard to press buttons.

Not sure what the use case is but a new budget smartphone or older mid range second hand phones make a lot more sense.

No, the budget is around 3_4k.
But i would like some suggestions based on prior experience from members.

lookout for multiple options on jiophone

will need 2g support and an unlocked phone, i guess jiophones are out of question then?

Doesn't jio phone support second sim with any operator?

I have the Nokia 3210 and itel magic X pro. Bought the first one for UPI and the second one for use as a hotspot.

Both have 4g but I can't figure out what to do with it (other than itel's hotspot feature). The screen is too small to be useful for browsing.
