Reliance JioPhone

As we said, the recently launched JioPhone is currently one of the best basic mobile handsets you can get for yourself. With the device, you get a 2.4-inch QVGA display, SD card slot, headphone jack, camera, torch light and FM radio.

Other than that, you get features like NFC and mobile payment connectivity (set to be out later this year), content streaming facilities, as well as all of Jio’s entertainment apps. All of this for a sum of Rs. 1,500 (that too is refundable after three years), we think, is a steal.

Best Keypad Phones You Can Buy

So, these are some of the best basic phones that you can buy in India as of today.
