I believe Corning Gorilla Glass serves it's purpose well but still a normal smartphone screen is too fragile to survive hits to the floor. I once had a colleague who had a similar issue, she often uses to drop phones from her hand and hence each and every smartphone of her’s had a broken screen. It hurts a lot when you break an expensive phone but what can be done. Well, I suggested her to get a backup basic phone and so should you. They are not smart enough to compete with the handsets you have in the market but no smartphone can beat the robustness and the backup of these basic phones. They are the best helping hand when you are in dire need of one as the battery doesn’t die and screens usually don’t take a toll if dropped usually. Therefore if you wish to know about the Top 10 Basic Phones in India then see the devices we have recommended for you. You can avail the best mobile offers on these value for money devices to save more.
