Research Summary
A feature phone, often referred to as a basic or dumb phone, is a mobile phone designed primarily for voice calls and text messaging, with limited additional features compared to smartphones. Feature phones are characterized by their simplicity and affordability, typically offering basic functions like making and receiving calls, sending and receiving text messages, and occasionally including a basic camera, FM radio, or simple web browsing capabilities. They lack the advanced features, app ecosystems, and touchscreen interfaces of smartphones but are known for their long battery life, durability, and ease of use.
