Archos Oxygen 63

The Archos Oxygen 63 may suit someone looking for a basic Android phone that is light, but its 3,000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. At 162 g, it also weighs less than most phones from that period, a useful distinction for anyone who favors a lighter handset.

Its 6.26-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 720 × 1520 px and a pixel density of 269 ppi, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 19:9 display gives apps and video a wide canvas. The 8 MP rear main camera has lower resolution than that of most phones from the period and records video at 1080p at 30 fps. The front camera is 5 MP.

A Spreadtrum Unisoc SC9863 octa-core processor works with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage. The phone runs Android 9 and supports Dual Nano-SIM, LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.2. It also has a 3.5 mm audio jack. At 9.3 mm thick, it is thicker than most phones launched around the same time. Overall, this is a basic option for someone who values low weight, can accept a smaller-capacity battery, and has no need for a high-resolution camera.
