Push-button telephone with Internet access. The best push-button mobile phones: review of models and reviews

The history of mobile communications began with push-button phones. They were in great demand for one and a half to two decades. And only in the late 2000s they began to be replaced by smartphones with touch screens. But the “button” has not completely disappeared yet. There are a large number of people in the world who do not want to switch to touch controls. It is for them that today’s rating was created, which includes the best phones with a physical keyboard.

It is important!

In our material we will talk about simple mobile phones that operate using proprietary firmware. In a separate selection you can get acquainted with the best push-button smartphones. They are equipped with a QWERTY keyboard and use Android as the operating system. As for phones, you can only install Java applications on them, and T9 mode is used for entering text. Also on our website you can read about how smartphones differ from telephones, where this topic is discussed in a little more detail. We cannot help but note the fact that in our selection we will talk about a wide variety of mobile phones. We have mentioned both the cheapest devices, usually used as spares, and more expensive models with slightly wider functionality. We have not forgotten the topic of secure phones that can withstand even the most severe operating conditions.

Fly FF190

• Display: 1.77 inches, 160 × 128 pixels
• Battery capacity: 1000 mAh
• Weight: 71 g

Price: from 570 rubles.

One of the cheapest phones on the market has a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles and the only real plus. This model is a typical budget mobile phone, which is designed to simply make calls. However, for its money, the FF190 offers buyers a 0.1 MP camera with video and photo recording (it’s unnecessary to talk about quality with this resolution), Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP support (improved audio transmission), playback of not only music, but also videos in 3GP, MP4, AVI.

All these features, with the possible exception of improved sound via Bluetooth, are clearly unnecessary. There is hardly a person who wants to shoot something with a virtually useless camera or watch a video on a 1.7-inch screen. On the plus side, for its price, the model has excellent autonomy and has a flashlight.

Advantages:

• Improved wireless audio transmission, making it possible to listen to music via a Bluetooth headset.
• Excellent autonomy.
• Availability of a flashlight.
• Extremely low price.

Flaws:

• There is a lot of unnecessary filling that made the model “heavier” - 71 grams, this is not a lot, but compared to devices of similar price and size there is a difference.

BQ 2442 One L+

• Display: 2.4 inches, 320 × 240 pixels
• Battery capacity: 600 mAh
• Weight: 75 g

Price: from 640 rubles.

After its return to the market, Nokia began making not only interesting smartphones, but also controversial push-button phones. Ambiguous because there are many models, they are practically no different from each other or from competitors, but what is most unpleasant is that they are expensive. Of course, the price is affected by the name of the company and, in fairness, the quality of Nokia is the best of all that can be bought in Russia among push-button devices. Nevertheless, from time to time there are curious specimens in the mobile phones of the Finnish company.

The 8110 4G model, as the name implies, received not just Internet support, but even at 4G speed. It may seem that why is this necessary, because the filling is probably sad, everything will slow down. But no, the brand’s engineers understood what they were doing and installed a fairly serious chipset by the standards of push-button phones - Qualcomm MSM8905 with 2 cores of 1.1 MHz. It was supplemented with 512 MB of RAM, which is quite good compared to the traditional 32 MB of all other representatives of the rating, and gave the buyer a 4 GB drive.

The surprises don't end there. The phone has Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.1. As a cherry on the cake, there is a 2 MP camera. Naturally, in 2019 this sounds funny, but again, it’s a push-button phone. Most representatives of the segment do not have this either. Do not forget that the model is a slider, that is, the buttons are hidden behind a retractable cover. There are two colors - yellow and black. The phone supports 2 SIM. It comes with headphones, which is a nice touch. The battery lasts for a couple of days of operation.

This device was created for those customers who, for certain reasons, need a push-button device, but at the same time want to not only make calls, but take pictures of something and go online.

Advantages:

• Wi-Fi and 4G support.
• Interesting body design in bright designs.
• Great display.
• Powerful hardware for its segment.
• Not a bad camera by the standards of feature phones.
• 4 GB of internal memory.

Flaws:

• KaiOS - the smartphone operating system used is quite crude and there are many lags; the problem can be fixed with updates.

Philips Xenium E181

• Display:
• Memory size: 32 MB
• Battery capacity: 3100 mAh
• Weight: 123 g

Price: from 3,390 rub.

Another phone from China Electronics Corporation with a powerful battery. If we consider new push-button phones, the Philips Xenium E181 certainly stands out. While other devices last only one or two days, like modern smartphones, the CEC product lasts four to five days. And if you leave it alone, without using it at all, the charge will run out only after five months! Interestingly, a method of transferring energy to other gadgets is implemented here. It turns out that this model can even be used as a portable battery. And here everything is in order with the characteristics. The device received FM radio and two slots for SIM cards. The device has little built-in memory, but no one will stop you from downloading songs to the memory card. On top of that, a mobile phone doesn’t even cost record-breaking amounts of money!

Advantages

• Very capacious battery.
• Not a bad display.
• Not very heavy.
• Two slots for SIM cards.
• Possibility of installing a microSD card.

Flaws

• Very slow Internet.
• There is very little built-in memory.
• Terrible camera.
• The functionality could be wider.

LG G360

• Display: 3 inches, TFT, 240 x 320 pixels
• Memory size: 20 MB
• Battery capacity: 950 mAh
• Weight: 133 g

Price: from 4,000 rub.

This folding bed is very beautiful, albeit very simple in design. It offers basic functionality - it doesn't even have access to the World Wide Web. On one part of the device there is a fairly large screen. However, its resolution is far from ideal - pixelation immediately catches the eye. Against this background, the lack of MP3 support would not be surprising. But it is here, songs must be loaded onto a memory card (cards up to 16 GB are supported). The mobile phone has a 1.3 megapixel camera. By 2017 standards, this is ridiculous. But push-button mobile phones rarely get a better module. But the manufacturer could install a more capacious battery - the battery available here is enough for one or two days of battery life.

Advantages

• Two slots for SIM cards.
• MicroSD memory card supported.
• Availability of FM radio.
• Loud speaker.
• Relatively light weight.

Flaws

• Very high cost.
• No internet access.
• Bad camera.
• Low display resolution.

Removed from selection

Nokia 130

• Display: 1.8 inches, 128 × 160 pixels
• Battery capacity: 1020 mAh
• Weight: 68 g

Price: from 1,890 rub.

The simplest mobile phone from Nokia. It differs from its competitors in its minimal weight - the “tube” is not felt at all in your pocket. The mobile phone has very modest dimensions. However, this did not stop the manufacturer from additionally creating a dual-SIM version of the phone. There is also a slot for a microSD card. The user cannot do without a memory card, since there is critically little free space for MP3 music and pictures.

The screen installed here displays 65 thousand colors - this is a typical indicator for a simple mobile phone. Surprisingly, the creators have introduced Bluetooth 3.0 support into this device, which allows you to comfortably use a wireless headset. There is also an FM radio here. The capacious battery provides up to 13 hours of battery life in talk mode, which can be called a very good indicator. But there is no Internet access here. This means that you will not be able to install additional Java applications or games.

Advantages

• Easy to learn;
• The speakerphone works well;
• MP3 format supported;
• Minimum weight;
• Low cost;
• Capacious contact book;
• A simple stereo headset included;
• Long-lasting operation on a single charge;
• There is a dual-SIM option;
• Bluetooth 3.0 supported.

Flaws

• Your memory is very small;
• You cannot install Java applications;
• Tiny screen;
• The quiet voice of the interlocutor.

Where can I buy: DNS, GranPlus, M.Video and some online stores

Nokia 3310 (2017)

• Display: 2.4 inches, 240 × 320 pixels
• Memory size: 16 MB
• Battery capacity: 1200 mAh
• Weight: 79.6 g

Price: from 3,990 rub.

The reincarnation of Nokia 3310 is a very controversial mobile phone. In fact, the device became popular only because of its name. Yes, this is a very thin mobile phone, and the information on its screen is easy to read even on a bright sunny day. But otherwise its use raises big questions. There is a camera here, but its two-megapixel resolution does not evoke any joyful feelings. In theory, you can install additional Java applications here, but their list is very limited. But what upsets consumers most is the cost. A device with such functionality should cost half as much!

Of course, the device also has positive qualities. For example, Bluetooth 3.0 will provide connection to a wireless headset. A capacious battery should provide several days of operation on a single charge. Well, the memory card slot will help you download a huge amount of MP3 music. There is also an FM radio here.

Advantages

• Very small thickness;
• Not a bad LCD display;
• MP3 and FM radio support;
• Built-in Bluetooth 3.0 technology;
• Long work on one charge;
• The kit includes a headset;
• You can insert a memory card.

Flaws

• Worthless camera;
• Terribly high cost;
• The ability to install applications is very limited;
• Quiet speaker;
• Strongly simplified firmware.

MAXVI C11

• Display: 2.4 inches, TFT, 240 × 320 pixels
• Memory size: 32 MB
• Battery capacity: 800 mAh
• Weight: 80 g

Price: from 1,070 rub.

This dual-SIM mobile phone exists in at least three versions. One is painted green, the other is orange, the third is cherry. They are no longer different from each other. MAXVI C11 is one of those mobile phones that for some reason has a built-in camera. It has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, which is only acceptable if you are creating a photo for a contact book. Interestingly, the phone has access to the global web, but only through a 2G signal. There is also a built-in slot for a memory card onto which you can put your favorite MP3 songs.

Overall, the MAXVI C11 is a very good phone, which costs less than one and a half thousand rubles. For that kind of money, it is forgiven for the low battery capacity, the minimum amount of internal memory, and other shortcomings. But having a flashlight is a plus for him!

Advantages

• The set includes headphones;
• You can use a memory card;
• Built-in flashlight;
• Bright colors of the case;
• MP3 format supported;
• You can listen to FM radio;
• Very low cost.

Flaws

• Your memory is very small;
• Minimum firmware functionality;
• No T9 typing support;
• It is impossible to connect a headset (headphones only);
• A USB cable may not be included in the package.

Micromax X2400

• Display: 2.4 inches, TFT, 240 x 320 pixels
• Memory size: 75 Kb
• Battery capacity: 2800 mAh
• Weight: 89 g

Price: 1990 rub.

This is a very lightweight mobile phone from an Indian manufacturer. We can say that this device is completely devoid of permanent memory. But in reality this is not a problem, since there is support for memory cards up to 8 GB. The main feature of the device can be considered its attractive design and ease of use. Buyers note that the phone book is best organized here. Otherwise, you shouldn’t expect anything special from such a cheap device. The camera here is very simple, there is not much point in using it. There is not even Wi-Fi here, so you can forget about accessing the global web. You can only be glad that the Micromax X2400 does not lack a Bluetooth module, so no one will forbid you to use a wireless headset. It is also worth noting the very capacious battery, which provides three to four days of battery life.

Advantages

• Minimum weight;
• Capacious battery;
• Not a bad screen;
• Two SIM card slots;
• There is a slot for a memory card;
• There is FM radio;
• Bluetooth 3.0 support.

Flaws

• Terrible camera;
• No 3G or Wi-Fi support;
• Minimum amount of your memory.

Samsung Metro B350E

• Display: 2.4 inches, TFT, 240 x 320 pixels
• Memory size: 32 MB
• Battery capacity: 1200 mAh
• Weight: 89 g

Price: 3990 rub.

Contrary to what many people think, the South Korean company Samsung still produces push-button mobile phones in addition to smartphones. Often they do not stand out as anything special. These are simply very light devices used for making calls. The Samsung Metro B350E is exactly such a device. Of the wireless modules, only Bluetooth 2.1 is present here, providing communication with the headset. You can forget about accessing the Internet, since there is not even 3G support here. But the mobile phone turned out to be very cheap! Oddly enough, the South Koreans did not skimp on the camera. Its resolution was 2 megapixels. This is quite enough for photographing bus schedules or something similar. You can even take a photo of a friend to place his image in the phone book.

Advantages

• There is FM radio;
• Memory cards up to 16 GB are supported;
• Minimum weight;
• Relatively good display;
• Two slots for SIM cards.

Flaws

• Weak battery;
• No internet access;
• Quite a high cost.

BQ BQM-2408 Mexico

• Display: 2.4 inches, TFT 240 x 320 pixels
• Memory size: 32 MB
• Battery capacity: 800 mAh
• Weight: 78 g

Price: 1890 rub.

This is one of the lightest mobile phones currently on the market. If you want to get your hands on a device that you barely feel in your hand, then the BQ BQM-2408 Mexico is the best choice. But at the same time, you will have to pay for the fact that the mobile phone will require recharging almost every day. Another important feature is the ability to install four SIM cards here. This allows you to use the services of all major Russian telecom operators! Otherwise, the characteristics of the device are somewhat sad. In particular, there is a camera here, but its resolution does not exceed 0.3 megapixels - it’s surprising that such modules are still produced. It is proposed to access the Internet via EDGE, and this indicates a low data transfer speed.

Advantages

• Minimum weight;
• Relatively good screen;
• Memory cards up to 32 GB are supported;
• There is FM radio;
• Four slots for SIM cards.

Flaws

• The amount of built-in memory is not very large;
• Minimum battery life;
• There is no T9 typing mode;
• The phone book is poorly implemented.

BQ BQM-2000 Baden - Baden

• Display: 2 inches, TFT, 176 x 220 pixels
• Memory size: 32 MB
• Battery capacity: 800 mAh
• Weight: 84 g

Price: 2690 rub.

This folding bed should appeal most to older people. This is evidenced at least by the presence of a red SOS button on the case. The device also sounds very loud - it’s quite difficult not to hear the call. The phone also speaks about its purpose by the lack of Internet access. If you want to upload some pictures to the BQ BQM-2000 Baden - Baden, you will have to use a computer. Additionally, the mobile phone has a couple of customizable buttons at its disposal. There is also an auxiliary display. But it only shows the date, time, battery level and signal reception level. If you want to see the name of the caller, you will have to open the phone - only an icon indicating an incoming call is displayed on the auxiliary screen.

Advantages

• Clamshell form factor;
• Two screens;
• Several additional keys;
• There is a slot for a memory card;
• Availability of SOS button;
• Minimum weight.

Flaws

• One SIM card slot;
• Very poor functionality;
• The external screen does not show the subscriber number.

RugGear RG128 Mariner

• Display: 2.2 inches, TFT, 176 x 220 pixels
• Memory size: 65 KB
• Battery capacity: 1400 mAh
• Weight: 127 g

Price: 4490 rub.

If you are interested in rugged devices, be sure to check out the RugGear RG128 Mariner at your local store. This is not a smartphone, so the specs won't impress you. It uses a 2.2-inch screen with a very modest resolution, and the amount of memory makes you immediately stock up on a microSD card. But all this fades into the background when you see the delivery package. There is a wired headset here, which literally saves you in some situations. There will also be two batteries in the box. One is 1400 mAh - it is heavier, the other is 650 mAh - with it the mobile phone stays afloat when it gets into water. In theory, this phone should be able to withstand a variety of abuses. But the low cost makes itself felt. Some elements here are still very vulnerable. For example, the creators did not cover the screen with Gorilla Glass, and therefore soon enough you will find scratches on it. Well, as for the technical characteristics, they are typical for a budget push-button phone.

Advantages

• Protection from water, dust and shock;
• Fairly light weight;
• Presence of FM radio;
• Bright colors;
• Two SIM card slots;
• Availability of a slot for a memory card;
• Two batteries included.

Flaws

• Slow Internet connection;
• Minimum screen resolution;
• Terrible camera;
• There is practically no personal memory.

Despite the advent of smartphones and other smart gadgets, push-button phones continue to be very popular. This review focuses on the four most popular models. A detailed study of each device will allow you to understand what exactly causes users’ interest in each mobile phone.

BlackBerry Q10 mobile phone

BlackBerry Q10 is one of the best feature phones that has no competitors. The device is suitable for people who still remain faithful to the physical keyboard and do not like touch devices.

1. Design and equipment. The appearance of the BlackBerry Q10 model turned out to be quite typical for models of this brand, thanks to which the device can be recognized among hundreds of others. Half of the body is dedicated to the screen, and the second part houses the physical keyboard. High-quality materials were used for production, thanks to which the phone fits perfectly in the hand. There are no creaks, backlashes or other defects. Like most of its models, BlackBerry offers the mobile phone in black and white colors. The engineers decided to install a power button on the top end of the gadget. There is also a 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones or a headset. It is quite pleasant to the touch and of high quality. The left side has an HDMI connector, which is an unusual and rare occurrence for push-button phones. Every detail in the model is thought out to the smallest nuances, thanks to which it was possible to ensure excellent ergonomics of the device. The BlackBerry Q10 package includes a mobile phone, a battery (removable), a charger, headphones, documentation and a cable for connecting to a PC.
2. Display. The BlackBerry Q10 boasts one of the largest and highest quality displays found on a phone with a physical keyboard. To install a 3.1-inch screen, the developers had to abandon several buttons that could be seen on other models of the manufacturer. The AMOLED screen boasts a resolution of 720x720 pixels, which is quite enough for a gadget of this level. The display brightness can be adjusted automatically or manually.
3. Performance BlackBerry Q10 depends on which modification was chosen. The company offers two versions: the first is equipped with a dual-core OMAP 4470 processor, and on board the second version is the MSM8960 from the internationally recognized manufacturer Qualcomm. There are no problems with the speed of the phone or loading the interface. Everything here happens quite quickly and smoothly, but it is not as fast as flagship smartphones.
4. Multimedia. A distinctive feature of BlackBerry mobile phones has always been that the manufacturer did not pay close attention to the camera. However, for the Q10 model they decided to make an exception and equipped it with a high-quality 8-megapixel camera, which has a simple and uncomplicated interface. The flash can operate in automatic mode, but there is no automatic focus. The resulting images on the phone screen look quite boring and simple, but if you transfer them to a PC, the quality is quite decent for a mobile phone in this segment. As for video recording, the default setting on the BlackBerry Q10 is 720p, but if desired, the user can set it to 1080p.
5. Autonomy. One of the brand's features is that its mobile phones can work for a long time. The engineers decided to equip the device with a 2100 mAh lithium-ion battery, which, according to the developers, provides 310 hours of standby time and about 10 hours of talk time.
6. Keyboard. It is the presence of a physical keyboard that makes the BlackBerry Q10 one of the heroes of the review. The letters are arranged in 4 rows of keys, pressing is quite simple and easy. It will take a week to get used to the keyboard, after which you will be able to touch-type without any problems. The only major drawback is that you can only type after selecting a field by clicking on a specific location on the screen.

The price of BlackBerry Q10 in Russia is 11,000 rubles. You can also watch a detailed video review of this phone:

Mobile phone Philips Xenium X1560

Philips Xenium X1560 is a mobile phone that can work on a single charge for more than 100 hours. The device is famous for its large number of multimedia functions, which makes it stand out from its competitors.

1. Design and equipment. The rectangular Philips Xenium X1560 mobile phone has a fairly standard design, but at the same time it looks very stylish. On the top of the front panel there is a company logo, above which the speakers are installed. Immediately below the display you can see the name of the model: the developers decided to make the Xenium X1560 recognizable, given the similarity with other phones. The equipment of the device is standard: device, charger, technical documentation and headphones.
2. Display. A distinctive feature of the Philips Xenium X1560 is the 2.4-inch QVGA TFT display, which is famous for its high quality and instant response. The screen resolution is 320x240 pixels.
3. Performance. The mobile phone turned out to be very fast: there were no lags, slowdowns or problems when performing tasks. Philips Xenium X1560 supports Micro SD memory cards up to 8 GB.
4. Multimedia. Among the multimedia capabilities of the device, one can highlight its ability to reproduce high-quality music. The melodies are loud, clear, and there are no problems even with the bass. The built-in audio player has many functions for individual customization for each user. The radio module only works in conjunction with headphones.
5. Autonomy is the main achievement of the Philips Xenium X1560 developers. Under the body of the device there is a 2900 mAh battery, which is enough for 2400 hours of standby time. This is a record figure even for push-button mobile phones. In talk mode, the device works stably for about 40 hours.
6. Additionally. Philips Xenium X1560 can be used as a portable charger. Thanks to the presence of an OTG adapter, a mobile phone can be easily turned into a personal power station. A powerful battery allows you to connect a smartphone or any other portable gadget to it.

Mobile phone Samsung Metro B350E

Samsung Metro B350E is the most classic model of a mobile phone with a push-button keyboard. This model is famous not only for its convenience, but also for its functional firmware, which greatly simplifies the process of using the phone.

1. Design and equipment. The design of the Samsung Metro B350E looks quite stylish, even though the model is very similar to devices from other manufacturers. Rounded corners and soft edges make the mobile phone look a little more modern and less rough. Thanks to a thoughtful design solution, the phone creates the impression of a highly functional device. The physical keyboard turned out to be comfortable and beautiful. Soft rubber buttons respond instantly to pressure. The button part itself is on a matte surface, but the engineers decided to move the display and joystick to a glossy area. Above the screen of the Samsung Metro B350E there is a speaker, which is loud and of high quality. The only drawback in appearance is the small buttons, which have been reduced in size to accommodate the large display.
2. Display. The device received a fairly good 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. This is an excellent result for devices from a similar price segment. Of course, the image is far from HD, but it’s nice to look at and doesn’t tire your eyes. The gradients are done so well that the grain is almost invisible. On such a display it is not unpleasant to watch photos, videos or read books. The only drawback of the Samsung Metro B350E is the fact that in bright sunlight the screen fades and it becomes almost impossible to read anything on it.
3. Hardware characteristics and interface. The mobile phone supports only second generation networks, but for such a price no one expected more from it. The built-in memory is only 32 MB, so you will have to buy additional MicroSD memory cards. Judging by the interface, the developers did everything possible to make the unit look like a smartphone. Several working screens and the presence of quick buttons greatly simplify the work process. The creators have equipped the phone with a large number of built-in applications written in Java. On the first level alone you can count about 30 icons, which is truly impressive for phones of this level.
4. Multimedia. The multimedia capabilities of the Samsung Metro B350E are not very extensive. The phone is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera that allows you to take pictures in a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. When shooting video, things are a little worse: the maximum quality here is 320x240 pixels. The camera boasts a fairly decent set of settings, as well as the ability to quickly call, which is typical for other models of the Korean giant. The built-in audio player is also packed with features. You can listen to music not only individually, but also in groups or by creating playlists. The sound quality in the headset is quite decent.
5. Autonomy. A 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery is enough for a week to use the gadget. In standby mode, the phone can work for about 800 hours, which is an excellent indicator even for push-button devices.

The price of Samsung Metro B350E in Russia is 3,300 rubles.

Mobile phone LG G360

The LG G360 is a flip phone, which is a rare occurrence these days. The dual-SIM LG G360 operates on second-generation networks and is famous for its high-quality display and attractive design.

1. Design and equipment. It's rare to find flip phones on the modern market. This is what prompted the Korean manufacturer to release the LG G360. Thanks to its minimalistic design, the device looks very stylish. The physical buttons are made of soft rubber, which allows them to easily respond to any press. This design allowed the developers to make the buttons larger, which greatly simplifies the use of the gadget. No sticking is observed during operation. The equipment is as follows: phone, charger, documentation.
2. Display. The LG G360 boasts a 3-inch screen that is large enough for a feature phone. With a resolution of 320x240 pixels, the image seems very high quality and rich. There is enough brightness for working outdoors in sunny weather.
3. Performance. The built-in memory is only 20 MB, so you can’t do without installing additional media when using the LG G360. 250 MB of RAM is enough to solve all problems.
4. Multimedia. The mobile phone from the Korean concern received only the main camera, which is located on the back cover. The 1.3-megapixel unit produces good pictures, even taking into account the absence of a flash. The radio module can work both with and without a headset, and the built-in player only reads MP3 format.
5. Autonomy LG G360 is backed by a 950 mAh battery. With active use, the phone will not have to be charged for about a week.

The price of LG G360 in Russia is 3,900 rubles. Below is a video review of this mobile phone:

The devices described above represent the TOP 4 best push-button phones in the model range of manufacturers in 2017. Each of them has its own characteristics and advantages, which allowed them to become the heroes of the review.

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.

id="sub15">

Before making your final choice in favor of one or another push-button telephone, we strongly recommend going to the store and trying to “play” with the device. It is better if there is not one, but several. In this case, you will be able to evaluate whether a particular model is suitable for you, how well it meets your expectations and whether it is worth buying. Only then should you make a purchase.

Nobody needs them anymore. Despite the global expansion of smartphones, this opinion is more than erroneous; the market for familiar phones is more vibrant than ever. Even today, new solutions are coming to market. It is not clear what justifies this state of affairs, whether the availability of such devices or the contingent that has not been able to master smartphones plays a role, but the fact remains that the good old “dialers” are not yet ready to retire. This material was inspired by the best push-button mobile phones released over the past year.

Philips Xenium X1560

Philips is a fairly well-known company, particularly in the household appliances market. Philips engineers have been distinguished in the field of mobile devices for a long time; the Xenium line has even grown into smartphones, but these gadgets have not found popularity. Philips Xenium X1560 is a niche product aimed at users who want maximum battery life and good call quality. The phone has a classic design, a black matte body, a compact keyboard and a joystick for navigating menus and games. The display diagonal is 2.4 inches and its resolution is 320 by 240 pixels. A TFT matrix is ​​used, therefore color rendering and viewing angles suffer greatly, but this is enough to dial a number. The main feature of the gadget is a massive battery, the volume of which is 2900 milliampere hours. The manufacturer promises up to 40 hours of operation under load, 2400 hours in standby mode.

Users, for the most part, respond positively to the new product. Many people praise the monolithic body, which is resistant to damage. The battery was not left unattended. Enthusiasts managed to stretch the work time to three weeks. Residents appreciated the ability to recharge other devices using their phone.

Micromax X2400

Push-button mobile phones with powerful batteries are in great demand. Among the lesser-known representatives of this category, it is worth highlighting the company Micromax. The baby Micromax X2400 is equipped with a massive 2800 milliampere-hour battery. The manufacturer promises up to 13 hours of talk time and up to 500 hours of standby time. The phone looks similar to classic devices from the Sony Ericsson K750 series. Just as plump, with an expanded keyboard and a wider display. There is a 0.3 megapixel camera, suitable only for utilitarian functions (photographing documents, for example). There is no Internet access and most of the standard multimedia capabilities.

Despite its severely limited functionality, the phone was able to captivate the public with its extremely low price. Of all the feature phones released in 2016, Micromax X2400 is perhaps the most affordable for the masses of consumers.

Fly FF241

The British brand Fly is very popular in Russia. The company's mobile division offers a lot of interesting devices, including excellent push-button mobile phones with 2 SIM cards. Visually, FLY FF241 resembles the Philips Xenium described above. Equally compact and ergonomic. The phone has an identical display with a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. One of the advantages is the presence of a full-fledged chip with a frequency of 260 megahertz. It is possible to access the Internet using the GPRS protocol.

The gadget has a camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. The indicator is not the best, but among budget push-button phones it is quite tolerable, you can still take a more or less intelligible photo. The camera is equipped with an LED flash and can also shoot video.

When it comes to battery life, the Fly phone is not far behind its main competitors. Under the hood of this baby lies a massive battery with a capacity of 2750 milliamp hours. According to the manufacturer, the phone can last up to 11 hours of talk time.

The phone hooked many users primarily with its high functionality (taking into account the price, of course). The only criticisms were the flimsy assembly and the lack of a dual communication module (SIM cards work alternately).

Blackberry Q10

Perhaps the best push-button phone that can be found on the market. Blackberries are not so popular in the post-Soviet space, but in the West people have been crazy about them for a long time. Externally, the phone is no different from other devices from the manufacturer. Classic rectangle with rounded edges for easy one-handed grip. A stunning QWERTY keyboard that makes typing a pleasure. No accidental clicks, no discomfort when typing quickly.

The phone is equipped with a 3.1-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 720 pixels. An AMOLED matrix is ​​used, which means the owner of the gadget will be able to enjoy bright colors and maximum viewing angles. Under the hood are huddled: a powerful chip with acceleration up to 1500 megahertz, 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of main memory. There is an 8-megapixel camera that can take excellent pictures in good lighting. The gadget runs on an advanced operating system created by RIM engineers and supports all key services of the Canadian company. The phone is also one of the most secure on the market. With all the capabilities of the device, including the full-fledged Blackberry OS operating system, autonomy does not suffer at all. In talk mode the device lasts up to 13 hours.

Samsung Metro B350

Samsung push-button mobile phones are now a rarity. This direction has not been a priority for Koreans for a long time. However, it is still supported, and from time to time, good devices appear that have nothing to do with the Galaxy world.

It’s worth mentioning right away that Samsung began to increasingly rely on its brand and corporate design, and the baby Metro B350 was no exception. The phone looks stylish. The neat, ascetic design is pleasing to the eye, and high-quality assembly is pleasing to the hands. The display diagonal is 2.4 inches, and its resolution is 320 by 240 pixels, just like everyone else. There is a camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels. One of the features is the presence of a full-fledged radio. The modest dimensions of the device did not allow the installation of a capacious battery, so anyone who preferred an interesting design will have to put up with rather low battery life compared to its competitors.

Samsung fans speak positively about the gadget. Most often noted is the bright display, which produces rich and accurate colors. Many criticized the keyboard for its overly compact size.

Vertex S103

The little-known brand Vertex is rarely found anywhere. The company's employees clearly don't have enough stars in the sky and are content with what they have, producing inexpensive devices for their category of consumers. Vertex S103 has a long-forgotten clamshell form factor. The phone is eye-catching with its aesthetics, it is very neat, looks stylish and practical. This one will look great in the hands of the fair sex.

Actually, the exterior of the gadget is the only thing that can catch your attention. The technical characteristics of the device leave much to be desired. A tiny 1.7-inch low-resolution display, a tiny 800-milliamp-hour battery, and a terrible VGA camera. All this does not speak in favor of the brainchild of Vertex, but rather the opposite. On the other hand, those who are nostalgic for the good old “flip phones” or simply want to use a nice thing at a low price should turn their attention to this miracle.

Nokia 230

One of the last on the list is a legendary brand that has suffered a difficult fate. Nokia mobile phone, push-button. New items from this series appear not so often. After the company was sold to Microsoft, gadgets from the Lumia series running on Windows became a priority.

Despite this, classic phones have not disappeared. The Finns have not gone far from their roots and continue to make worthy “dialers” for connoisseurs of all varieties. One such phone is the Nokia 230, and it's really good. The stylish, monolithic, metal body captivates at first sight. You can feel the hand of a once great brand. The corporate design goes well with new trends in gadget design. The first thing that catches your eye is the large display with excellent color rendition on the front panel. Below it is a classic keyboard with a joystick in the central part. The phone is equipped with two cameras with a resolution of 2 megapixels. A kind of push-button phone for selfie lovers. According to the manufacturer, the device can last more than 20 hours on a single charge.

The owners of the new product are absolutely delighted. The phone satisfies the needs of the vast majority. The design of the display and keyboard is excellent. Basic functions, such as speed dialing and saving multiple numbers for one contact, are present. The only thing that occasionally causes complaints is the metal body, which many found heavy and inappropriate in such a phone.

BQ BQM-3200 Berlin

A massive and rather heavy brick with a telling name. The BQ company is actively promoting devices from this series. Each unit has its own unique character, and is named after different places and cities. Berlin is a very strict, even rude gadget with a large keyboard. The back panel is made of plastic that imitates leather. The visual delights of this phone fade away once it comes to looking at the specifications. And everyone, starting from a small camera of 0.3 megapixels, ending with a battery of 1250 milliampere hours. The rest of the characteristics are the same as in the Philips Xenium X1560. When using the device, one gets a double impression. On the one hand, we have a surprisingly stylish gadget at an extremely affordable price, on the other hand, we have a confusing menu and weak specifications.
