If your current smartphone is an expensive investment, a backup device that is reliable and low cost would do well for you. Now, one mini Android phone delivers on that promise for approximately $90. The Mini 4G Dual SIM Smartphone (or NanoPhone) is said to cost about US $89.97, which is much slim than a price tag close to $200.

It is tiny and fully Android compatible and dual SIM capable. It is more of a value than some stripped-down “for emergency only” device.

Compact Size Gets You to Carry It

This mini Android phone is a credit-card-sized device: approximately 3.5 by 1.8 inches and less than 3 ounces.

Such that it can be tumble around inside a gym bag, lend it to a friend, drop it inside a glove compartment-be anywhere that you wouldn’t want to trust your main phone. In fact, this ultra-portable size is a big advantage when you want that saved for anything that might be damaged, lost, or left behind.

All Android Experience for Daily App Use

True, Mini 4G Dual SIM Smartphone is extremely cheap and really small, but this device runs Android 10, has Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity, and supports apps like WhatsApp, YouTube, and Instagram. Dual-SIM allows you to keep your normal number going while you add a travel or temporary data plan, an excellent feature of your backup phone for use in travel and as a secondary device.

What This Backup Phone Can Actually Handle

What it does best is communicate by phone, massaging, light streaming videos, basic navigation, and other app uses. Suppose some people view its small screen size as inappropriate for heavy gaming or content creation. It is more than just enough for all the essentials. “This is a second phone you take anywhere; one you are not afraid to lose,” explains a spokesman.

When and Why Do You Need a Secondary Device?

Travel often but don’t want to risk your main phone.
Need a little backup that can handle emergencies in the field or otherwise.
Want a super simple device just to have it and away from all the full-blown smartphone complexities.

Not exactly a wear replacement, but it’s a smart, low-cost way to stay in touch without having to sweat over every scratch or crack. From travel to kids, emergencies, and use as a gym-bag companion, it checked a lot of boxes. If you wanted a second reliable phone but not without the price tag, check this one out.
