Several Nokia feature phones, like the Nokia 6300 4G and Nokia 8110 4G, support WhatsApp. The Nokia 6300 4G also offers other essential features like 4G connectivity, Facebook, YouTube, and the Google Assistant. To download WhatsApp on the Nokia 8110 4G, you can update your device's software and then access the Store from the apps menu.

Yup, thats KaiOS

Ending support for WhatsApp on KaiOS

Kaios no longer can do Whatsapp
Otherwise is perfect

Yup this is in my radar

Shortlist

Hope
Realme c61
Ulefone okitel are tested good but very heavy

How about poco? It's on sale now https://s.lazada.com.my/s.quNbS

Can find any video on drop test?

Honor 400 1659
Honor x9c 899

Samseng a35 1k

Dayummm. With this phone we can reply WhatsApp without seeing the screen while typing liao

Not mini size but cheap price and durable https://www.oppo.com/my/smartphones/series-a/a3x/

Rugged phone requirement you already know the answer, Huawei la, honor x9

iPhone 13 mini or 12 mini lor.. smallest most reliable phone in my opinion

Thanks. Added a3x

Cheap phone all drop sure gg one. But what u could do is buy a thick casing, those heavy type.

So far after 6 months, I at least dropped 6~7 times at home at road at work place.

Still good still kicking.(with free gift transparent plastic cover came in box)

And this tecno is biggest player in Africa market.. If it can survive africa, a few drop isn't a problem for it I guess..

Also it got built in auto call recorder, which used to be common features but nowdays always kene cutoff because of "legal" Issue.

I dont play mobile games,I'm very satisfied with it.

Worth everypeny for Rm550 IMO.
