The best Samsung feature phone. The best mobile feature phones with a good camera

Mobile phones with buttons are gradually being replaced by functional smartphones. The older generation, far from touch interfaces, prefers improved classics. But young people buy modern devices, mistakenly believing that a push-button telephone cannot do anything other than perform its main function.
Is it so? Not at all. Phones with buttons are not becoming a thing of the past, but, on the contrary, they are being improved. Today the market is flooded with devices that are designed not only for calls and messages. They have almost the same functions of a pocket computer as smartphones.

Various resources that specialize in collecting data about a particular product provide information. And based on it, we compiled our rating of the best models of push-button phones.

No. 1. Nokia 515

The phone, released by Nokia (now Microsoft) in mid-2015, is a classic with modern features. The model, which has a “hello from the past” design, is actually improved and equipped with expanded functionality.

Specifications:

Series 10 - this phone model runs on this operating system.
The size of the push-button device is 114.1 x 48.1 x 11.1 mm.
The phone weighs about 100 grams.
The body material is the main difference between the phone. The monolithic body made of smooth metal creates special strength.
The phone screen is equipped with glass with increased resistance to mechanical damage - Gorilla Glass 2.
Memory - 64 MB.
Display: 2.4-inch, resolution 320x240 pix element.
Battery capacity 1200 mAh.
Camera: 5 megapixels with LED flash.
2 SIM cards on one phone.
3rd generation mobile communication technology allows you to watch videos on the Internet.

recommended price: 6999 rubles.

As you can see, although the phone looks like “back to the 90s”, it is equipped with modern technologies and can easily be used by smartphone owners for basic calls. The developers of Nokia 515 focus on the quality of mobile communications, so the functionality has been expanded: there is voice communication in HD format.

The main functions inherent in a smartphone are also found in a push-button device:

Modern browsers with which you can access the Internet.
There are applications for all popular social networks.
It is possible to receive and send letters from an email account, having previously synchronized it with the email program that is built into the phone.

Nokia 515 is the last of the Mohicans. After the company was purchased by the giant Microsoft, the “party policy” was changed: the era of push-button phones was over. It probably shouldn’t be for a giant corporation to produce simple phones...

No. 2. Samsung GT-S5611

One of the best models of phones with buttons. Unlike the previous device, Nokia 515, it has a modern design. Rich functionality is also present.

What's special about the phone:

Camera: 5 MP with LED flash, allowing you to take not only good pictures, but also videos.
The autofocus system is preinstalled and turns on simultaneously with the camera.
High quality 2.5" LCD screen.
Battery capacity 1000 mAh. You can actively use the phone (call, write, take pictures and videos with the camera, communicate on social networks, watch multimedia files) for about four days without charging.
All popular social networks are supported. The phone has Multi Messenger built into the buttons. If the application is synchronized with accounts on networks, you can always be aware of new messages.
Dimensions: 118.8x49.6x12.8 mm.
The case is made of a monoblock with metal elements, which makes it reliable and safe. If dropped, it will not break, and sharp objects will not leave visible scratches on it.

A phone from Samsung Electronics allows you to synchronize all your email accounts, communicate on social networks, and download various applications from the store. 3.5 mm headphones and a special application allow you to listen to your favorite music tracks or radio online.

The phone also has 2nd and 3rd generation mobile communication technology, which makes it possible to use the Internet efficiently. But there is no wireless, Wi-Fi, network or Near Field Communication technology. The push-button model of the device operates on the SNMP operating system developed by the manufacturer itself. There is also a synchronization function that allows you to use information that is on your personal computer.

No. 3. Samsung C3592

Another push-button model of the “folding” type from the same manufacturer. The 2.4-inch display allows you to read the screen and view pictures. There is support for two SIM cards at once.

Folding phones have an advantage: their screen is protected by the case from external influences and from falls. True, such devices are almost never produced now. The case is also reliable: made of plastic covered with a metal base.

There is a pre-installed application that allows you to work with social networks, including Facebook and Twitter. And to access the network, the fast Opera mini browser is used. With this reviewer, surfing turns into a comfortable walk.

For lovers of mobile games, there are a dozen applications from the Gameloft studio.

Phone specifications and features:

Dimensions: 5.1x10.1x1.7 cm.
Weight: 100 grams.
Three colors: black, white, burgundy.
Camera resolution: 3 MP.
Mobile communication technology 2nd generation.
Resolution: 320x240 pix element.
Comfortable keyboard.
Convenient phone book.
Good quality speakers.

The downside is that the font is not very large, the volume cannot be adjusted, and the memory is small.

No. 4. Philips Xenium X1560

Philips mobile devices are popular because they have a stylish design, good functionality and a unique platform.

Key advantages of the company's push-button telephone:

The use of two SIM cards is supported.
A powerful 2900 mAh battery allows you to actively use your phone (Internet, communication, video) without charging for five days.
You can install another memory card in the additional slot.
You can transfer files between phones using Bluetooth technology.

Although the Xenium X1560 case is made of plastic, it is covered with a metal base, so it is reliable and durable. It is possible to synchronize the device with personal computers and listen to online radio without connecting headphones. In general, the Philips phone looks simple in appearance, but its functionality allows it to be considered a mini-smartphone.

The device has such a platform that you can not recharge it for a long time. 2nd generation wireless telephone technology makes it possible to connect to the Internet and comfortably browse websites.

No. 5. Nokia 6700 Classic

Nokia, before it was bought by Microsoft, eagerly produced phones with buttons. Simple design, improved functionality, solid foundation, and convenient use captivated consumers who prefer the good old classics to modern technologies. And Nokia 6700 is just a classic phone with convenient buttons and a simple interface.

The push-button model operates on the Series 40 6th Edition platform.

Specifications:

5 megapixel camera.
Headset for stereo sound, charging, large memory card.
GPS receiver.
Good sound quality.
Convenient interface without unnecessary elements.

Nokia made all its phones not with plastic, but with metal cases. Yes, they made the devices heavier, but they were durable and reliable, and retained their appearance for a long time. No matter how much the Nokia 6700 classic falls, it will still look the same. At least there is no obvious damage.

This feature phone model has a good camera with an automatic focus system and LED flash, which allows you to take high-quality photographs, 2592 × 1944 pix, regardless of the time of day.

No. 6. BlackBerry Q10

The Canadian company BlackBerry knows how to make phones, push-buttons and smartphones, just like Nokia did in its time. The Q10 button device is called a smartphone because it comes with all the features and also has a stylish and modern design. The advantages of this model also include a durable body and great Internet capabilities.

Specifications:

Screen: Super AMOLED.
RAM: 2 GB.
Cameras: rear (8 megapixels, video 1920×1080), front (2 megapixels, video 720p). There is portrait shooting and an autofocus system that turns on instantly.
There is a wireless, Wi-Fi, network for comfortable and fast surfing.
Files are transferred to devices via an improved version of Bluetooth.
There is USB and the ability to synchronize information with a personal computer.

The buttons are laid out in an unusual way, similar to those found on computer keyboards, and this is a key feature of BlackBerry phones.

It is very convenient to communicate via SMS or on social networks, since text is typed quickly on such a keyboard.

To make it more convenient to send emails and communicate on networks, websites and forums, it is better to use a pre-installed program. The messenger must first be synchronized with mail and services.

A QWERTY smartphone running the BlackBerry operating system has a good player where you can listen to music, play video games, watch videos and even edit images. A powerful camera allows you to take high-quality video and photography.

In short, the Q10 is very similar to a smart smartphone, but unlike it, it has a push-button interface rather than a touch one.

In any cell phone store you will find not only smartphones, but also ordinary push-button phones. It is the worthy representatives of 2017 that will be discussed in this selection.

Why are push-button phones still relevant?

Why do feature cell phones continue to exist? After all, it is known that their production, if it brings companies profit, is minimal. Why didn't they all concentrate on creating smartphones? There are several reasons for this:

Many people buy a mobile phone as a backup means of communication;
Many older people choose the “button” because they are simply not used to touchscreen smartphones;
Most often, push-button phones are bought for young children - they don’t mind losing or breaking such a device;
Push-button mobile phones are bought by employees of sensitive facilities where the use of devices with a built-in camera is prohibited.

In short, the demand for such mobile telephones still remains. In this regard, the proposal is not going anywhere. In this article we will look at the best push-button mobile phones that are available to Russian buyers. In this case, we will talk about devices released, if not in 2017, then shortly before that. In a word - new items. Here you will not find descriptions of phones manufactured ten years ago and available for purchase only in “pawn shops” and on Avito (although exceptions to this rule are possible).

LG G360

At one time, LG feature phones were a huge success. Especially models in a folding form factor. Surprisingly, the South Koreans continue to produce similar ones to this day, albeit in a greatly simplified form. For example, even now the LG G360 model can boast of a certain demand. This device does not have an additional display, but this is perhaps its only drawback.

It is possible to control the phone's functions using a 3-inch display. Its resolution is 240 × 320 pixels, which is enough to clearly display all menu items. The built-in speaker can play MP3 music, but you will have to store it on a memory card. The keyboard of this device has fairly large buttons and a clearly legible font. There was even a place for special keys on it. One of them is responsible for the SOS function, raising an alarm and sending an emergency message to selected contacts. The other is designed to launch the camera. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixels, which is enough to take pictures that will then go into the contact book.

In general, the device suits its customers quite well. It contains FM radio - the main attribute of push-button phones. But most of all, the device pleases with its capacious battery. LG G360 owners touch the charger extremely rarely - about once every week and a half.

Advantages:

Nice form factor;
Relatively good camera;
Nice and large display;
You can insert two SIM cards;
Comfortable keyboard with additional buttons;
There is an SOS function;
Very long battery life.

Flaws:

Very little built-in memory;
No additional screen;
Heavy weight (125 g).

Nokia 3310 (2017)

A kind of remake of the Nokia 3310 became a real hit at the spring 2017 exhibitions. HMD Global has modernized the appearance of the famous mobile phone. But after this, the software base received significant simplifications, which somewhat disappointed the first buyers. However, the device is unlikely to cause negative emotions in you if you do not expect firmware based on the Series 40 from it, which would offer rich functionality. Unfortunately, its installation is impossible due to the fact that the corresponding rights are held by Microsoft.

So, what can the Nokia 3310 (2017) mobile phone boast of? It has a decent 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240 × 320 pixels. The information on this display is clearly visible in any conditions, including under bright sunlight. The device also turned out to be compact and lightweight - this also suits many buyers. There is nothing bad to say about the camera. Yes, its resolution is only 2 megapixels. But can you expect anything more from a modern push-button telephone? FM radio has not disappeared, which is also important.

You can connect a wireless headset to this mobile phone. Communication is provided by Bluetooth 3.0 - the signal is stable, and it does not consume too much energy. In general, this is precisely the main advantage of the Nokia 3310 (2017). Although the device still lags behind the original in this regard.

Advantages:

A high-capacity battery is used;
The set includes a wired headset;
High quality LCD display;
There is a Bluetooth 3.0 module;
Relatively good camera;
Light weight and compact dimensions.

Flaws:

The software has been greatly simplified;
There is practically no memory of its own (only 16 MB);
Not the best quality speaker;
Very high cost.

Runbo X1

Rugged mobile phones are a separate market. The leadership on it is held by several companies, the names of which will mean nothing to most people. Among them is the Chinese brand Runbo. Under it, devices are produced that are equipped with a literally indestructible body. And Runbo X1 also boasts a built-in walkie-talkie. To use it, you will need to connect an external antenna. The power of the walkie-talkie is 1 W, which allows you to talk with someone at a distance of up to 5 km. The radio operates in the range from 400 to 470 MHz.

Even the best push-button phones of 2017 have only a few megabytes of built-in memory, as you can already see by reading the descriptions of previous devices. The exception to the rule is the Runbo X1. It has a built-in 4 GB of memory used to store photos. But it will not be possible to expand this volume, since there is no corresponding slot here. Some may be even more disappointed by the single SIM card slot. Recently, we have become accustomed to the fact that almost all push-button mobile phones and even many smartphones are at least dual-SIM.

On the front panel of the device there is a rubber keyboard and a 2-inch display with a resolution of 220 × 176 pixels. Rest assured, all sorts of rubber gaskets are hidden under all the structural elements. This allows the device not to be afraid of short-term immersion under water. The phone case is also shockproof. As for the other characteristics, they are typical for such a “dialer”. The camera resolution is 0.3 megapixels, and among the additional features in addition to the walkie-talkie, only a flashlight stands out. There is also a GPRS module, but you are unlikely to be able to open anything other than WAP sites. But the creators can be praised for the capacious battery. It provides up to 16 hours of talk time! This means that under normal usage, you will use the charger once a week, if not less often. The walkie-talkie uses up its charge the fastest, but it is used by customers extremely rarely - only somewhere while hunting or fishing.

Advantages:

There is a powerful walkie-talkie;
Built-in large amount of memory;
There is support for GPRS and EDGE;
Very long operation from a full charge;
Waterproof and shockproof housing.

Flaws:

A very simple display;
Very high cost;
Large size and weight;
It is better for the buyer not to remember about the presence of a camera;
There is no way to insert a second SIM card.

This is where we deviated from our rule. This push-button telephone is far from new. The mobile phone was released back in 2008. But it still does not lose its relevance. It’s not for nothing that some online stores still sell it. People like this phone for several reasons:

The phone is made in a folding form factor, and such devices are now becoming increasingly rare.
The body of the device is partially protected from impacts, which allows you not to be afraid for the phone if it falls on a hard surface.
The mobile phone was created by a famous company, and even before it was sold first to the search giant and then to the Chinese company Lenovo.

As for the technical characteristics, even at the time of release they could not be called top-end. The phone received a modest TFT screen with a resolution of 160 × 128 pixels and the ability to display only 65 thousand colors. But on the top cover of the device there is a second display, albeit with even more modest parameters. The capacity of the battery installed here is 940 mAh. However, even this is enough for seven hours of talk time. The biggest drawback of the creators was the memory card slot. It is present here, but you can only install a microSD card with a capacity of up to 2 GB inclusive. Need I say that it is becoming increasingly difficult to find it on sale? And you will want to use a memory card. After all, the phone does an excellent job of playing MP3 music. And you need to save photos taken with a 1.3 megapixel camera somewhere.

The phone turned out to be very light - its weight does not exceed 99 g. Unfortunately, only one SIM card can be inserted here. But what will disappoint the buyer the most is the headphone jack, which is 2.5 mm. You'll have to get hold of an adapter or use a wireless headset. It is noteworthy that the device allows you to open WAP sites and download Java applications. Everything is in order here and with the operating time.

Advantages:

GPRS support;
Relatively good camera;
You can install Java applications;
Long battery life;
Minimum weight;
Original design;
There is an additional screen.

Flaws:

Difficult to find in stores;
Only one SIM card slot;
Simple display;
An adapter is required to connect headphones.

Fly TS113

A thin and inexpensive mobile phone that comes with not only a charger, but also headphones. The device is powered by a 1000 mAh battery. Its full charge lasts for approximately 5 hours of talk time. Or 35 hours of listening to music. However, it will have to be stored on a memory card, since the built-in storage has only 32 MB of capacity.

The main feature of Fly TS113 is the presence three SIM card slots at once. Otherwise, this is a typical push-button mobile phone. The picture is displayed on a 2.8-inch screen created using TN technology and having a resolution of 240 × 320 pixels. The device turned out to be extremely light - its weight does not exceed 97 g. The camera is built in here more for beauty than for purpose, since its resolution is only 0.3 megapixels.

The most important thing is that the firmware of this phone works without lag. You can access any section of the menu as quickly as possible. Such high-speed operation of the software is ensured by a processor whose clock frequency reaches 312 MHz. By the way, the phone is also different in that you can insert a memory card with a capacity of up to 16 GB - you can imagine how many songs you can record on it.

Advantages:

Low cost;
Up to three SIM cards can be inserted;
Minimum weight;
Good display;
Decent battery life;
There is a flashlight.

Flaws:

It’s better not to think about the camera;
Each contact can only contain one number;
Not the best sound.

Micromax X507

If you urgently need a push-button mobile phone, and only have a 1000 ruble bill in your pocket, then you will have to purchase a Micromax X507. This is one of the cheapest devices in our selection. You shouldn't expect serious characteristics from it. The device can be praised for its capacious battery and 97-gram weight. You should also be pleased with the presence of two slots for SIM cards, which will allow you to combine tariffs from different operators. Otherwise, this is a typical “dialer”. Which, by the way, was released in February 2017.

What can cause a buyer some disappointment? Firstly, the phone has a useless camera built into it, the resolution of which is 0.1 megapixels. Where did the Indian manufacturer even dig up such an archaic module? Secondly, the mobile phone uses a 1.77-inch display with a resolution of 128 × 160 pixels. Need I say that a lot of text won’t fit on such a screen? The firmware cannot be called fast either - at some points the processor with a clock frequency of 208 MHz experiences problems. The software generally seems a little underdeveloped - most noticeably in the contact book, where searches are only possible in lowercase letters.

Advantages:

There is a flashlight;
Very light weight;
Minimum price tag;
You can insert two SIM cards;
Memory cards up to 32 GB are supported;
Decent operating time.

Flaws:

Disgusting camera;
Low resolution of the installed display;
Poor speaker quality.

Nokia 130

Our rating could not do without the cheapest dialer from Nokia. This device will not offer any advanced features. It will not provide you with a very high resolution camera. But the device will work stably. And, importantly, for a long time! It uses a 1020 mAh battery, which is enough for 13 hours of talk time. And in music listening mode, the charge will run out only after 46 hours!

The manufacturer has implemented the simplest firmware here. In this regard, you will have to forget about accessing the global web and installing additional applications. The only thing the creators have not forgotten is support for MP3 songs, which will be stored on a memory card. Without it, only FM radio will be available for entertainment. Interestingly, the phone does not have a camera at all. This means that the device can be used at sensitive sites where photography is prohibited.

The mobile phone has a 1.8-inch display. Its resolution is very small - only 128 × 160 pixels. But the third version of Bluetooth can please you - this wireless module standard will provide stable communication with the headset. Another undoubted advantage of the device is its miniscule weight - it barely reaches 68 g. It should be noted that two versions of the Nokia 130 are on sale. They differ in the number of SIM card slots.

Advantages:

Minimum weight;
There is a version with support for two SIM cards;
Stable functioning firmware;
Very long operating time from a full charge;
Optimal price tag.

Flaws:

There is no camera;
There is no Internet access;
Modest LCD display;
Not everyone will like the appearance;
There is practically no built-in memory at all.

Summarizing

This completes the list of the best push-button mobile phones. Unfortunately, by 2017, most manufacturers left this market, and the remaining ones began to significantly simplify their devices. That is why the rating turned out to be poor for advanced mobile phones, which would be in no way inferior to their relatives from the mid-2000s.

Do you use a push-button device? Or have you switched to a smartphone quite a long time ago? Tell us about it in the comments!

A modern push-button telephone with a powerful battery is an excellent gadget for people whose main requirement for a mobile device is autonomy.

Moreover, not every user needs a powerful processor for gaming.

Sometimes it is much more important to go without charging for a whole week or even a month, and not be afraid of dropping a mobile gadget with the screen down, if we are talking about shockproof models.

VIAAN V11

The Viaan V11 model, released in 2017, can be called a real power bank. With a battery capacity of 4000 mAh, you can use it by connecting another device (smartphone, smart watch or mp3 player) to it for charging. If you use it like a regular phone, V11 can work up to 3-4 weeks without being connected to the mains.

Among the features of the phone The following characteristics can be distinguished:

built-in memory of 32 MB and the ability to install a microSD card of up to 32 GB, which will be more than enough to use the phone as an mp3 player;
camera with a resolution of 0.1 megapixels. – a practically useless device that can only be useful for taking images of contacts;
USB port for charging or connecting to a PC;
Bluetooth wireless connection for transmitting or receiving data.

At the top of the phone there is a powerful LED lamp, thanks to which the model can be used as a pocket flashlight. And the only negative is the fragile and thick (2.9 cm) body of the gadget, although for the amount of 1,300 rubles. nothing more can be expected.

TeXet TM-D228

Original design of the TeXet model, based on the contrast of black and red, makes this inexpensive and not very functional gadget attractive in appearance. Although its main advantage can be called a 3000 mAh battery, thanks to which you can use the TM-D228 for 20–25 days without recharging. Other advantages include:

Well-thought-out button layout makes the keyboard more convenient and easier to use;
laser processing of the back cover, due to which it practically does not slip in the hand;
bright 2.4-inch TFT display with a resolution of 240x320 - enough to view texts, messages, photos and videos on it;
camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels. – practically does not allow you to take normal photographs, but allows you to shoot small videos in VGA format;
good speakers that provide good volume of melodies and ringtones.

The gadget is designed for 2 SIM cards and allows you to combine for user convenience. To connect to other mobile devices, the phone is equipped with a Bluetooth module.

Ergo Talk F241

The Ergo Talk F241 model has a good design and a minimum thickness for such phones - only 12.5 mm. Two SIM cards make it possible to use tariffs from different operators, and a high-quality screen with a resolution of 240x320 pixels does a good job of displaying texts, photos and videos - even in sunlight. And the camera allows you to take photos with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels.

The device's powerful battery will last for several weeks of continuous operation in standby mode and occasional conversations.

Other advantages of purchasing such a device include:

a 2.8-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 240x320, on which you can view texts, photos, and even videos - although the phone does not come with either a main or front camera;
32 MB of RAM – minimum for installing several java applications;
the ability to install up to 64 GB in size, which can accommodate thousands of audio files.

The model has the ability to play multimedia files and has a built-in radio. And its low price allows you to purchase the phone as an additional communication device.

BQ 2425 Charger

The features of the BQ 2425 Charger mobile phone include a 2.4-inch diagonal color display with a resolution of 240x320, which is good for a gadget of this class, and a capacious 3000 mAh battery. The model supports 2 SIM cards and 32 megabytes of memory (expandable up to 64 GB using). And in order to use it not only for calls, but also for entertainment, the gadget is equipped with a player, radio and java support for games and Internet use.

Another advantage is the small size(including 16 mm thickness) and weight only 104 grams. You can use it not only for calls, but also for sending SMS or MMS messages, making to-do lists and storing information - for example, photos (although the phone does not have a built-in camera).

Micromax X249+

Micromax X249+ phone allows you to use it for the following purposes:

Another serious advantage of using such a gadget is 2000 mAh battery. And, although this parameter is minimal among push-button phones with large batteries, it is more than enough for 2-3 weeks of device operation without recharging. Or 2–3 days if you run videos, audio or java games on the X249+.

Fly FF245

The FF245 phone cannot be compared with modern smartphones in any of the main parameters. Neither a camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels, nor 32 MB of RAM, nor the expansion of a 2.4-inch screen. However, this model has the following parameters: which make it to some extent better than some touch gadgets:

32 GB of memory, addable via microSD card;
the presence of a 3700 mAh battery, providing autonomy up to 740 hours in standby mode and up to 90 hours when listening to music;
cost 2000 rubles.

A phone is worth purchasing for a person who needs to be constantly in touch. Including those who already have a productive smartphone for games and work. After all, in the absence of the ability to charge the phone, not a single touchscreen model can compare in terms of autonomy with the FF245.

VKWord Stone V3

The VKWord brand, which is not the most famous in the world of smartphones (its touch models were released in 2015, but were not widely used even thanks to durable protective glass), also produces fairly decent push-button phones. For example, such as Stone V3 - a device with an impressive 5200 mAh battery. Its features include:

protection against moisture and dust according to IP67 standard;
1.2 megapixel camera – not meeting the requirements of modern users, but not bad for a push-button telephone;
equipped with an LED flashlight, activated by pressing the central button on the keyboard;
very loud speakers, thanks to which both ringtones and the alarm can be heard perfectly.

Among the disadvantages are the large thickness of 23 mm and RAM of only 64 MB. However, at a price of 2.3 thousand rubles. and the presence of such a huge number of advantages, such disadvantages can be neglected. Moreover, the memory is expandable up to 8 GB using a microSD card.

3000 mAh, providing autonomy for several days and even weeks;
almost completely “indestructible” - it is quite difficult to damage the device, since it is practically not afraid of water (including immersion to a depth of 3 m), or dust, or falling from a great height;
powerful LED flashlight, operating in normal and flashing mode.

Among the not very impressive, but still quite good functions for a phone priced at 3,100 rubles, it is worth noting a screen with a resolution of 240x320 pixels and a 1.2 megapixel camera. The kit includes a Bluetooth module, a built-in player, and a radio.

Land Rover X6000

It is not for nothing that the name of the Land Rover phone coincides with the brand of the SUV - the reliability of these gadgets can indeed be compared with the famous British off-road vehicles. The protective properties of this model (tempered durable glass, rubber and plastic linings on the body, and plugs) allow it to be submerged under water, dropped from a height, or work in dusty conditions.

The size of the device is not too large - however, its screen has a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 240x320 pixels. This allows you to watch videos on your phone, read texts and even access the Internet. And the camera received a decent resolution for a push-button phone - 3 megapixels.

The main feature of the model is a battery with a capacity of 6000 mAh– a function that allows you to work for 15–20 days in standby mode or a whole day of calls. Another impressive feature is the powerful LED flashlight, which is several times stronger than other phones.

Nomi i242 X-Treme

The Nomi i242 X-treme phone is a convenient and protected gadget from most external influences, designed for use in extreme conditions. It is quite suitable for a hike, a production workshop or a mine. Moreover, the device’s 2500 mAh battery is enough for several days of continuous operation in standby mode, and the device has a small camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels.

With this part, the gadget works for up to 2 months in standby mode, several days in a row with constant use for talking, or a whole week of playing video or music. And the design features provide the phone with protection according to the IP67 standard - submersion under water and complete dust resistance.

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.

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, so the phone fits perfectly in your 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 print 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 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.

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.
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.
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 have done 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.
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.
Autonomy. A 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery is enough for a week's use of 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.

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.
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. The brightness is also sufficient for working outdoors in sunny weather.
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.
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.
Autonomy The 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 devices described above represent the TOP 4 best push-button phones in the manufacturers’ lineup in 2017. Each of them has its own characteristics and advantages, which allowed them to become the heroes of the review.

The telephone has become a thing that we cannot do without in our time. Everyone has at least one mobile phone. Despite the popularity of smartphones, there are still many fans of push-button phones. And here are the new products for 2016-2017 that you should pay attention to.

Nokia push-button phones

Nokia 230 Dual Sim

New push-button phone from Nokia in a metal case. Made in traditional Nokia style. Large body with a 2.8-inch screen (65.54 thousand colors). One of the main advantages is 2 SIM cards that work alternately. The phone has two built-in cameras (rear and front) and an LED flash. Both cameras are 2 megapixels. Internal memory – 16 MB, it is possible to use a memory card up to 32 GB.

According to the manufacturer, the battery is designed for 23 hours of talk time, 52 hours in music mode, and a standby time of 528 hours. In practice, the phone does not withstand standby mode for more than four days. There may be problems with the Internet; the phone does not support 3G. The mobile phone is massive, which is why girls have problems with ergonomics when using this model.

Another one of the Nokia phones in the series, which includes the new 2016 models with the ability to use two SIM cards. Among others, the model stands out due to its powerful battery – it can last more than 7 days. The phone is lightweight and travel-friendly. 2.4 inch color screen, soft keyboard. Social networks and the Opera browser are provided separately for convenient quick access. Built-in flashlight.

The disadvantages of the model are visible almost immediately, starting from the screen: inaccurate color reproduction, the screen changes it at the viewing angle. Despite the fairly comfortable keyboard, there is a hard-to-use middle joystick. The proprietary speaker and camera are not of the best quality. The phone is not able to display missed calls - to do this you will have to go to the menu, find the call log there and study its contents. It connects to the PC only in storage or charging mode, and then only with a memory card inserted. This model does not support speed dialing. And you will have to pay an additional amount for games. The locking system has been changed to a “hang up-menu” combination. You can only add one number to a contact; additional numbers are not supported.

Compact push-button mobile phone, has 2 SIM cards and a loud speaker. The buttons are covered with rubberized material. The model does an excellent job of maintaining communication. It has a clear screen (16.78 million colors), which displays a large and easy-to-read font and displays the date and time. Additionally, a flashlight and another hearing speaker are built-in.

The disadvantages of this mobile phone include:

The battery holds a charge for only four days, compared to the stated 21 days;
The body is coated with a glossy finish that makes fingerprints easily visible;
The control joystick is small and inconvenient to operate;
Internet use is difficult, although there are social networking apps;
Java applications are only built-in, third-party ones cannot be installed;
The MP3 player does not have an equalizer;
The lid opens too tightly, there is a chance of breaking the case.

Nokia 3310

3310 is a once iconic phone model, released back in 2000. Not so long ago, at the MWC-2017 exhibition, Nokia presented an updated version of the 3310, which should appeal to both fans of the classics and those who simply need a reliable dialer for every day.

The new product comes in a variety of bright colors, has a 2.4’’ LCD display, a 2 MP camera, a slot for a flash drive and a headphone output, which allows you to use it as an mp3 player. The battery capacity is 1200 mAh, which is enough for 22 hours of talk time, and in standby mode the 3310 will lie on the shelf for about a month. The price of the phone is not the most modest; for 3310 you will have to pay 50 euros.

Nokia 150

Nokia 150, which has no previous merits, costs much less - you can buy the phone for 1.9-2 thousand rubles. And besides a different design and a slightly worse camera (0.3 versus 2 MP), it offers its owner essentially the same thing. On board the 150th model there is a 2.4’’ screen, a hybrid card slot (flash drives up to 32 GB are supported), a flashlight, radio, 3.5 headphone output and Bluetooth, allowing you to connect a wireless headset.

Autonomy is provided by a 1020 mAh battery, which lasts for 31 days in standby mode. Among the shortcomings of the Nokia 150, we can only note the classic Nokia 4-way control button, which does not seem convenient to everyone.

Samsung push-button phones new 2016-2017

Samsung B350E

A push-button mobile phone has a rougher and more brutal design compared to its predecessors. These phones are new for 2016 and give the impression of being a rational device. The buttons are soft and large enough, made of rubberized material. The back cover has a matte relief. Has 2 SIM cards. Built-in flashlight. Manufacturers have installed a large number of applications, which allows you to use the mobile phone as a very slow smartphone without a touch panel.

There are few disadvantages, but they exist. The buttons are located too close to each other, which is why the press may not register correctly. The camera has only 2 megapixels, autofocus and flash are missing. The phone supports Internet only in GPRS format. Despite its good characteristics, the screen transmits information very poorly in the sun. Due to the large number of pre-installed applications, the phone slows down.

Samsung SM-B310E

The new 2016 model is somewhat unusual for the company, as it exceeds the usual dimensions for phones of this brand. Typically, push-button mobile phones from Samsung are smaller in size. Made in a metal case with plastic inserts. The speaker is loud enough. The model already includes the Opera browser and Skype. There is a flashlight. The battery can withstand three days of use with infrequent use, and a day with constant use.

On the downside, the player does not display songs whose titles contain Cyrillic. The sound in the headphones is weak, the headset is not supported by the model at all. The screen is very fragile and scratches easily. Java applications are limited to run. If the RAM is overloaded, the phone will spontaneously restart the system. The screen has a very small viewing angle and does not display information correctly in the sun.

Philips push-button phones new 2016-2017

Philips E181

A convenient push-button new product for 2016 from Philips, which supports 2 SIM cards and a very powerful 3100 mAh battery that can withstand 139 days of standby time and two days of talk time. There is also a camera. You can even use it to charge other phones if you have a cable. Very loud speaker and reliable build.

According to user reviews, the battery can last for a month. The screen is dim and has small font. The cover glass gets scratched quickly. The sound is unclear and blurry at high volumes. The headphones are perceived poorly; the sound in them leaves much to be desired. The buttons are very soft to press, which is uncomfortable when worn without a case. The sound of a call is not muted.

A 2016 phone with two SIM cards, which is designed for easy use by anyone. It doesn't have any technical bells and whistles, but it is equipped with a huge keyboard and on-screen fonts. There is a “magnifying glass” function with a five-fold zoom and “speech synthesis”, which sounds the characters being typed. The phone is ideal for older people. There is a charging dock that can be mounted on the wall or simply placed. There is an SOS button on the back panel. Camera available. The battery can hold a charge for up to two months.

Many phone functions require a memory card. The SOS button is located in the wrong place and can be pressed accidentally in a pocket or purse. The phone's memory is quite small and is not enough for most functions. The camera doesn't shoot well in low light.

Philips E570

E570 is the senior model in the Xenium line of long-lasting push-button phones. For 4,000 thousand rubles you can get a dialer that has a standby time of up to 170 days, which can also be used as a power bank to charge other devices. With actual use, the phone lasts about 2-3 weeks.

E570 works with two SIM cards, has a bright 2.8’’ screen, a 2MP camera, a loud speaker, supports radio, plays mp3 and video. In general, it has everything that an average user needs. Among the shortcomings, we note a weak vibration alert; many users also complain about the color design of the menu - white text on a blue background, while the ability to change the theme is not provided.

FLY push-button phones

Fly TS112

The peculiarity of this phone is that it works with three SIM cards. The device also perfectly maintains the network in conditions of a weak signal, which will not allow you to be left without communication in an elevator or passage. The 1400 mAh battery is enough for several days of continuous operation. The 1.30 MP camera is suitable for capturing the necessary information.

Fly FF246

Budget new product from Fly with a 0.3 MP camera. It also supports Bluetooth 2.1 to connect another phone or headset. The 1000 mAh battery will allow you to work in talk mode for 4 hours and standby time for 200 hours.

Feature phones from other manufacturers

LG G360

The clamshell form factor has seemingly sunk into oblivion, but it still has its adherents. And if you are one of them, then the LG G360 should not go unnoticed. This is a stylish and well-assembled clamshell, in a plastic case (available in two colors - red and gray), with a large 3'' screen, a replaceable battery and full support for two SIM cards and a flash drive.

Among the pleasant aspects are a loud speaker, large and comfortable control keys, as well as excellent call quality in any conditions. Cons: mediocre battery life (the battery is only 950 mAh, you will have to charge the phone every 3-4 days), a camera for show, and a slightly inflated price (from 4.5 thousand rubles).

Micromax X1800 Joy

The X1800 fits the description like no other phone – cheap and cheerful. Looking for any shortcomings in a phone that costs 700 rubles is not a rewarding task, but the X1800 doesn’t have any particular disadvantages; the only serious compromise in favor of lowering the price can be considered the lack of a vibration alert function as such.

In all other respects, this is an excellent caller for ridiculous money. The phone supports two SIM cards, has a flashlight, Bluetooth, a memory card slot, a loud speaker and a decent battery that can provide up to a week of battery life for moderate private conversations. We definitely recommend purchasing it if you are on a limited budget.

Alcatel 1054E

The Alcatel 1054E is not much more expensive, which can be purchased for 900-1000 rubles. In addition to all the functions described above, it has a vibration alert and a 0.3 MP camera. Users of this model note the loud and high-quality sound of the main and conversational speakers, good signal reception in problem areas, as well as excellent build quality for its price. The downside is a weak battery, which lasts for 4-5 days of operation with infrequent conversations.

teXet TM-513R

Let's not forget about secure phones. One of the most popular SUVs is the TM-513R from domestic electronics manufacturer teXet. The phone was introduced at the end of 2015, but to this day it remains relevant and the brand’s best-selling model. The gadget is certified to the IP67 protection standard, it is not afraid of short-term immersion in water, is completely protected from dust and is resistant to falls thanks to rubberized aluminum inserts that reinforce the phone's body.

Among the advantages of the model are support for two SIM cards, very loud speakers, good autonomy (you will have to charge it on average once a week) and a relatively good camera. The main drawback is the build quality that varies from model to model, which is why some users may end up with defects. Price – from 3.2 thousand rubles.
