Internet-connected devices with access to millions of apps might be the norm in 2023, but they’re by no means your only option. KaiOS later gained investment from Google as well as the use of Google Assistant-powered voice-typing. The phone also comes with UPI 123PAY support, which means you don’t need an internet connection to send or receive money.It provides the most essential apps – WhatsApp, Google Maps for navigation, YouTube and Facebook and online browser. These keys allow the user to open their chosen messaging app (WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal) directly from any screen and start communicating with their loved ones immediately. The new feature is available to millions of smart feature phone users with the latest version of the app on KaiOS devices worldwide equipped with 512MB RAM.

It charges by USB-C and if you don’t use it too much the battery is good for about two days – ideal if you want apps when you need them but would rather your phone stayed in your pocket rather than drag you into mindless social media use. Apart from the standard 12 keypad layout, the device also offers six shortcut buttons at the top and a D-pad for navigating. Conclusion: This is a very good minimalistic dumbphone with WhatsApp for those who only need that app on their phone. A feature phone and a pair of TWS earbuds are not your usual combo but Nokia with the 5710 XpressAudio wants to make that a thing. Its a shame that Nokia don't realise there is still a big market for simple phones but that do WhatsApp which most older people want to use to send and receive photos.For using the feature the KaiOS phone must have minimum 512MB RAM and all Nokia KaiOS phones fulfil this criteria.

On the GH tech team, we test dumb phones by checking how easy they are to use compared to smartphones. While smartphones are all screen, these basic phones need space for the keyboard and the display is much smaller. Aside from it’s beautiful design, it has all the crucial apps that you need and also a good WhatsApp app. If you like the idea of a basic but want something with a little more style, the Punkt MP02 will appeal to you.Aside from this, the phone is similar to the Nokia 130 Music in that it’s a music-oriented phone and features a massive “Super 3D Stereo Speaker. The CPU is well-suited for handling basic tasks, although it is not as powerful as those found in smartphones. LCD display pushing a resolution of 320×240 pixels, and there’s a single VGA camera on the rear—so I wouldn’t be using this to take too many photos, if I were you.
