Review of simple push-button phones with a powerful battery
Today the market is filled with different touch phones running different mobile OS. These devices are small computers in which you can work with documents, surf the net, play games, watch videos, listen to music, etc. Under the hood of these phones are powerful processors, several gigabytes of RAM and a separate chip for processing graphics. They contain all kinds of modules for wireless communications, navigation, sensors and other additional capabilities. All this mercilessly drains the smartphone battery. Top “toys” from different manufacturers work offline for about a day. But there are many users who need a simple push-button phone with a powerful battery. This is especially true for older people.

Philips Xenium E570
Polyphonic long-liver
Let's start with Philips Xenium E570, the latest model in the most popular line of classic mobile phones. We can say that this phone from Philips - push-button and with the most powerful battery in the Xenium line - is indeed the most “long-lived” of those on sale. And it is definitely the most powerful - it has 64 MB of RAM, which is decent for “buttons”.
The device is equipped with a 3160 mAh battery, which provides approximately 2.5 days of operation in use mode and about 5 months in standby mode. Other interesting features include 64-voice polyphonic melodies for those who miss the 2000s, as well as a 2-megapixel camera with flash and a slot for a 32 GB memory card.
SENSEIT L222
Power bank and Bluetooth speaker in the phone case
Let's continue with an unusual novelty SENSEIT L222, which is essentially only one third a cell phone. As for power, this mobile phone is equipped with a MediaTek MT6261 processor and 32 GB of RAM, as well as a 4000 mAh battery (a day of active use, a month without recharging).
Why so little, it would seem? After all, 4000 mAh is enough for an average smartphone for a couple of days. The fact is that the device, in addition to making calls, can be used to recharge other devices (PowerBank function - for this, a microUSB-to-USB cable is included in the kit. In addition, it supports Bluetooth 3.0 and can be used as a . So the battery really can be spent very quickly.
Fly FF249
MP3 player with phone functions
This feature phone with a good battery not only lasts a long time, but also plays music well. Briefly about the capacities: Fly FF429 has a MediaTek MT6261 processor at 260 MHz, 32 MB of RAM and a 4000 mAh battery. This capacity is enough for a day of talk time and a month and a half in standby mode.
And for 100 hours of listening to music! For this purpose, the device has an internal memory of as much as 8 GB, which is very rare for “buttons,” and a slot for a memory card of the same capacity. The built-in audio player supports not only MP3, but also WAV, AAC and FM radio reception. As a bonus, the device includes headphones.
Digma LINX A230WT 2G
Walkie-talkie and spotlight with a monstrous battery
We have already written about the model Digma LINX A230WT, but it is simply impossible to ignore it - the phone causes a wow effect by its very appearance. In this case, let’s note it as a push-button phone with a good battery - it has as much as 6000 mAh, which in this case means a day in talk mode and a month in standby mode - although according to reviews from those who bought it, this is the most modest minimum. The model is equipped with a MediaTek MT6261 processor and 32 MB of RAM.
This phone also has a power bank function, and in addition, in principle, it is positioned as a device for working in field conditions. It has a built-in walkie-talkie with a retractable antenna, as well as an unusually powerful flashlight comparable to portable floodlights. Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, security guards, LizaAlert volunteers and everyone else who needs communication in the dark should be issued such phones as part of government procurement.
BQ Tank Power
Reliable, with two lights and power bank
Alternatively, you can participate in the tender for the purchase of the best phone for field conditions BQ Tank Power. In the competition between the best feature phones with a good battery, it is somewhat inferior to the previous candidate, since its battery is only 4000 mAh. But on the other hand, it is spent more slowly - the device is not overloaded with unnecessary software features.
The design of the phone focuses on shock resistance: it has a shockproof sealed case, large mechanical buttons and thick glass. In addition, the device has two flashlights for all-round illumination and a Powerbank function for recharging less durable devices.
MAXVI P11
Three SIM cards, loud sound and big battery
Why is this incomprehensible device from an unknown manufacturer so attractive to Yandex.Market users, we were perplexed until we decided to look into the specifications MAXVI P11. We found a 3100 mAh battery there, which in terms of operating time means only 18 hours of talk time and 25 days without recharging.
But the device turned out to support three (!!!) SIM cards! It turned out that it is taken by users who have several SIM cards from different operators in order to provide themselves with free calls to the numbers of the entire “Big Three”. This is the way to break the system. In addition, the phone has a large speaker and makes really loud calls.
INTEX Ultra Selfie
A toy selfie camera and not at all childish capabilities
Telephone INTEX Ultra Selfie It gave us a childlike impression. This is indicated by the manufacturer’s separately marked 0.31, which is safe for children’s eyes. Plus, unlike most buttons, it has a front-facing camera (and even a separate button for taking selfies). Like the rear one, it is weak - only 0.3 megapixels. But perhaps they put it there to allow children to play on Instagram?
The requirements of older people for mobile technology are radically different from the needs of the younger generation. They don’t care about the amount of RAM, the presence of an NFC module, or similar little things. The main thing is that the screen is large and easy to read, and that the phone itself is reliable and easy to use.
Just5 BRICK
Just5 BRICK is a typical dialer with large buttons and simplified controls, but the design of this phone makes it special. The smartphone has a rectangular body, without rounded corners, fits like a glove in your hand and feels like a small block.
The battery lasts for 3-4 days of using the device, the communication quality is excellent. The only problem may be that the screen is not the largest - only 1.77 inches, which is why this mobile is poorly suited for people with poor eyesight. Cost - about 3 thousand rubles.
Philips Xenium E311
The Xenium line from Philips is known for its battery life; on a single charge, these phones can last about a week in talk mode. The E311 didn’t disappoint either, it has everything you need - large and comfortable buttons, an excellent display, a flashlight, a radio and a loud speaker that can be heard well even in public transport.
The presence of an SOS button, which is used to quickly call a given number, is also useful. The Xenium E311 is even equipped with a camera, but the 0.3 MP sensor is more for show than for real use. Overall, this is a good smartphone from a trusted manufacturer that can be bought for 5 thousand rubles.
Philips Xenium E311
ONEXT Care-Phone 5
Care-Phone 5 is aimed at pensioners with poor vision; in addition to large buttons and a bright screen with large fonts, it is equipped with a voice confirmation system, following the prompts of which the smartphone can be controlled literally blindly.

ONEXT Care-Phone 5
teXet TM-B116
teXet is a domestic company that sells phones assembled in China under its own brand. TM-B116 turned out to be quite ambiguous, in addition to the standard set for older people - large buttons and a screen, it has some frills (the ability to use a flash drive, Bluetooth), but at the same time the manufacturer installed a weak battery in the smartphone - only 600 mAh, which is enough on average for 2 days of use.
We can recommend teXet TM-B116 not only to pensioners, but also to anyone who wants to buy a simple and inexpensive (RUB 1,900) phone that can be used as an MP3 player for listening to music on headphones.
BQ BQM-2800 Alexandria
For lovers of stylish things, we recommend the BQM-2800; this is a classic push-button telephone, which is available in 9 body colors. In addition to its beautiful appearance, the device boasts a large and high-quality 2.8’’ display, a slot for a flash drive, a 1000 mAh battery and a radio.
It costs only 1200 rubles, for that kind of money it is the best option in terms of functionality. However, due to the standard buttons, the BQM-2800 may not be the best choice for people with low vision.
BQ BQM-2800 Alexandria
Fly FF246

The only drawback of this model is the unstable build quality - several people left reviews that the phone body creaks when pressed, but this is an isolated case. Cost – 1600 rubles.
Micromax X649
Micromax is an Indian manufacturer that produces good smartphones at affordable prices. X649 is a classic push-button device with a bright screen, loud speaker, 2 slots for SIM cards, a flashlight and excellent network reception. The main advantage is a powerful 1800 mAh battery, which is enough for a week of use.
Disadvantages are the inability to make the font on the screen larger and the limited phone book, where only one number can be assigned to one contact. The X649 costs an average of 1,700 rubles; people with poor eyesight should not buy it; in all other cases, the phone will be quite good.
KENEKSI K6
KENEKSI K6 is a push-button phone with good multimedia characteristics. The K6 is equipped with a 2.4-inch display, a slot for a flash drive, an MP3 player and a radio, a 0.3 MP camera and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

The menu is intuitive, even older people can easily understand the controls; when dialing a number, large, easy-to-read numbers are displayed.

MAXVI X850
Another smartphone from MAXVI in our rating. This device is positioned as an image solution; it is well-built and looks solid, has a large 2.8-inch screen and a capacious battery. Advantages - presence of radio, flash drive, 1.2 MP camera, loud speaker.
However, there are also disadvantages. The first is a weak microphone; your interlocutor may not hear you if the conversation takes place in a noisy place. The second is the inability to program a contact for speed dialing. Price – from 1900 rubles.
Oysters Sochi
Oysters Sochi is a smartphone from a domestic manufacturer. First of all, the device is interesting for its appearance; it is made in a thin rectangular case with a metal back cover. The black color phone will definitely appeal to men, while the white version will look perfect in a woman's hands.
The strengths of Oysters Sochi are a large, clearly visible screen, a loud speaker, and large and convenient dial buttons. The disadvantages include an inconvenient address book - the contact name cannot be longer than 10 characters, and a weak 900 mAh battery. Price – 1800 rubles.

Fly FF301 has the largest screen among all representatives of our rating, its diagonal is 3”, while the fonts in the menu are adjusted to truly gigantic sizes.
The autonomy of the Fly FF301 is also at a good level; the phone lasts for 3 full days. One can only find fault with this model because of the ill-conceived design of the main speaker; it is located on the back side of the case, and if the smartphone is placed with the back cover down, the volume of the speaker is significantly reduced. Cost – from 2000 rubles.
Alcatel One Touch 2007D
One Touch 2007D is a dialer with the best camera in its price category; its resolution is 3MP, which allows you to take really good photos. The phone has comfortable ergonomics and fits perfectly in the hand, the dialing buttons and display also do not cause any complaints - the font and menu icons on the screen are large and easy to read.

Alcatel One Touch 2007D

This device is good for everyone, it has huge buttons and a large display, good call quality and loud speakers, a durable 1400 mAh battery, a 2 MP camera and the ability to use the mobile Internet.
A smartphone costs about 2,100 rubles, this is not the cheapest option, but it will more than satisfy the needs of any pensioner. And in terms of reliability and quality, cell phones from famous brands are superior to phones from small Chinese manufacturers.

Nokia 215 Dual Sim
A push-button telephone from the once popular company Nokia, differing from analogues only in the bright colors of the case. The 215th model turned out to be quite controversial, it supports 2 SIM cards, has a capacious battery and a good display. However, the fonts on the display remain small even when turned on in the maximum size settings, which is why it cannot be recommended for people with low vision.
The bottom line is that the Nokia 215 is a reliable and convenient phone that, with careful use, will last for many years. Price – from 2000 rubles.

Nokia 222
Analogous to the 2150 model with multimedia capabilities. There is a slot for a flash drive, a headphone jack, radio, Bluetooth, a 2 MP camera, and the ability to play video and MP3 files. The phone is quite fast and pleasant to use.
Among the shortcomings, we note the weak functionality of the phone book (limited title length, one number per contact) and a somewhat inflated price. The cost of Nokia 222 starts at 3,500 rubles, but phones with such characteristics from other manufacturers cost, on average, a thousand less.
Samsung Metro B350E
The B350E, with the exception of design, can be considered a complete analogue of the Nokia 222. These devices have identical characteristics and functionality, minor differences in favor of Samsung are a larger battery capacity, a more convenient interface and the absence of stupid restrictions in the phone book. The current price of the B350E is 4 thousand rubles, which, again, is unreasonably expensive.
Despite the variety of smartphones on the shelves of our stores, some users need to buy a simple push-button phone. Such models are much more compact, they fit comfortably in the hand, and work up to 10 times longer than their more advanced counterparts. For this reason, the team of the Internet project “Be Mobile” decided to help those who decided to buy a push-button telephone. We have compiled a list of the 15 best models in a wide range of price categories.
As soon as we talk about push-button mobile phones, the legendary Nokia phones come to mind: Nokia 3310, Nokia 3110 and many others. Just 5 years ago, a device that played music from memory cards was considered smart. Now times are completely different.
Nevertheless, push-button phones have a number of undoubted advantages over smartphones. Firstly, phones are much more work longer from the battery. Secondly, telephones much easier to manage, and they hang much less often. Thirdly, phones are much more cheaper sophisticated smartphones. It’s not so offensive to drop them, lose them, or give them to a small child. Fourthly, they more reliable from a security point of view (many more viruses are written for smartphones than for phones).
In general, push-button phones are worth purchasing for older people (grandparents), small children, and people who need a second mobile phone.
Well, now the list of the best push-button phones of 2017 according to the Be Mobile Internet project.
