Running on a tight budget no longer means settling for a phone that only handles calls and texts. The under Rs 5,000 segment has changed quite a bit, with brands now adding features like UPI payments, video calling, streaming apps, Bluetooth, and even Wi-Fi support to keypad devices. Whether someone needs a reliable backup phone, a simple device for parents, or an affordable handset for daily use, there are now several practical options available.
From Nokia’s trusted durability to HMD’s smartphone-like approach, here are five feature phones worth considering.

The JioPhone Prima 2 is aimed at users who want more than just calling features. It supports 4G connectivity and comes preloaded with apps like YouTube, JioTV, JioHotstar, and JioSaavn.
It also supports video calling, JioPay for UPI payments, and packs a 2000mAh battery. The only catch is that it works exclusively with a Jio SIM, which makes it best suited for users already in the Reliance Jio ecosystem.
