Hearkening back to the simple, non-smartphone days of the early 2000s, the Optus X Lite eschews features like touchscreens and high-resolution cameras in favour of a basic menu interface and a physical keypad. This is a compelling proposition for folks exhausted by the complexities of modern smartphones as well as anyone looking for an affordable backup phone to keep for emergencies.

Camera

- Low-resolution photos don't lend themselves well to sharing
Performance
- Low-power hardware is sufficient for the basic tasks the Optus X Lite is designed for
Battery
- Can deliver up to four hours of talk time or 160 hours on standby, according to Optus
