The Jumia Mobile week 2019 is live. The excitement is all over, everyone is looking to buy that fully fledged speced up phone, tablet or accessory they have desired to have.
This time round, Jumia has brought to the table some cheap feature phones.
Feature phones are those small button phones of the 80s/90s. Many smartphone users enjoy having these small, light and compact button phones along with their main phones.
There are obviously massive discounts which can’t leave you seated. With such crazy offers, there are those of you (like me) who just continue with the window (screen scroll) shopping. There are also those who hope to hit the jackpot via the treasure hunt and daily flash sales. All of us have a spot in this Jumia Mobile week.
While everyone has set their eyes on the flagship devices from Samsung and Apple, the giant smartphones from Infinix, Xiamo Redmi, Tecno, iTel and Huwaei, there is a list of feature phones (the cheap button phones) which are on the market as well.
Before you think about buying that smartphone (you might have one already), these basic feature phones have a lot of advantages that beat the smartphone.

Cheap
Apart from a few new models on the market, the largest number of feature phones available now range between UGX 27,000 to UGX 70,000.
Small and Light
The basic button phones are quite small and make it easy to carry them around.
Dual (two) or more sim carriers
Many button phones can carry two or more sims. You don’t need to worry about where to put that extra sim.
High battery keep-age
Feature phones have long lasting batteries that can take you on for a week and if you are a heavy user, 3 or 4 days is enough to keep it without a charger.
Strong and Durable build quality
You don’t worry a lot about cracking your screen as it is with smartphones.
When they fall, feature phones can get a few scratches on the back and also on the screen, and these in no way do they affect your everyday use of them.
Unless the fall is from a tall height (which even in most cases, feature phones survive) or a sharp object has been aimed at it with force, these feature phones have a strong build quality.
You don’t need to buy a lot of other accessories
For feature phones, what you mostly need are your headsets all the other things shall go well with you.
Consistent network connectivity
Whenever you are in a place that people complain to have low network, these button phones are usually consistent in maintaining a stable network connection.
You have all the basic apps
Feature phones have a torch, alarm, reminder, calendar, FM radio and an mp3 player. What more do you need from a basic feature phone when you have this all together well compacted?
