Although dual-SIM phones have become quite common now, still, Nokia has integrated the feature into a budget handset that is definitely worth praising.

Unique SIM manager

Most phones become devoid of your messages, call records and contacts as soon as you take out the SIM. Therefore, in case you have multiple SIMs, it becomes a real hassle to update the contacts, settings and other features whenever you need too change your SIM card.

Affordability Factor:
