Push-button telephone with good connection. Button cell phones

Button cell phones are inferior in popularity to smartphones in Russia 3 years ago (in 2014), and in recent years, sales of button phones have been steadily declining. However, it is too early to discount them. According to J'son & Partners Consulting, 10.8 million push-button phones were sold in Russia in 2016, accounting for 29% of the total sales of mobile phones (for comparison: 26 were sold on the Russian market in 2016, 4 million pieces). For the most part, push-button models of phones are used by people of the older generation. There are young people who specifically buy themselves push-button cell phones so as not to waste time on social networks, games and other delights of smartphones, and use the phone only for its intended purpose - to make and receive calls. Parents who take care that their child does not sit in the classroom and after them in the smartphone, but studies, also buy button-type mobile phones for their children. Finally, a push-button telephone can become a temporary telephone for calls if the smartphone has to be handed over for repair to a service center or during a trip when it is not possible to charge a smartphone, and a push-button telephone, as a rule, holds a charge longer than the average smartphone. The main advantage of push-button phones is their low price, affordable to everyone. The average price of a push-button telephone in Russia is 1.7 thousand rubles, while the average price of a smartphone is 7 times higher - 12.1 thousand rubles.

In this rating, we will consider the best push-button mobile phones for 2017, which received good reviews in Yandex Market. When arranging places in the rating, technical characteristics and the price-quality ratio were also taken into account.

Nokia 105 (2017)

The average price is 1,350 rubles. A mobile phone in the summer of 2017 scored 41% of fives in Yandex Market and 74% of recommendations for purchase. Today it is the third most popular Nokia push-button telephone (Yandex Market data).

Specifications: 1.8-inch screen 160x120, without camera, support for one SIM card. Talk time is 15 hours.

From reviews:

“With the design, the Nokia is all right - especially now, when every second one has a black rectangle, only the logo on the back cover is different for everyone. After this handset, my smartphone turned out to be uncomfortable, cold, empty and heavy. I look at the Nokia and I’m really stoned Lies in a hand, in a car, on a table. Light as a feather, fits in a pocket for a lighter in jeans. Definitely + for appearance and tactile sensations.

Great call quality!

Unexpectedly simple. I tried to understand how to turn on airplane mode at night, it turned out that the phone just needs to be turned off, SHOCK! it turns on / off for about 5 seconds. In the morning the alarm rang when the phone was off - I already forgot these simple pleasures.

What else? compared to the old 3310 there is a flashlight, calendar, radio and a standard charging connector

According to the instructions, the new battery needs to be fully discharged, then charged for 12/24 hours and completely discharged again. And so 3-5 times, then the battery will last longer. After charging, it took me 2 weeks before the phone began to report that the battery was running out - naturally at the most inconvenient moment, but the phone continued to work! I called and was surprised. On the 3rd day I decided to “help” him, turned on the flashlight and forgot about the phone for 3.5 hours, but he continued to work, then I turned on the radio through the speakerphone too - it worked for another 2 hours. "


7th place.

From reviews:

"Lightweight, compact, holds a charge for a long time. The T9 works perfectly. Although the flashlight doesn’t really shine, the power button is thought out very conveniently and in two combinations. There is no Internet (for me this is a plus). Excellent sound in the microphone, I can clearly hear the interlocutor hear clearly.

In general, the rating for this phone among other rubbish is 5, and the rating as to what Nokia should do and even for that kind of money is 3, so I put the average 4. I bought my mother - for her this is generally an ideal option - nothing more. I wanted myself the same as a dialer, but now I don’t even know without bluetooth and some other functions. It is unpleasant that among the trash that is being sold, there’s nothing to even choose, even the Samsungs ceased to do normal. Of all the buttons, only Nokia liked the conversational dynamics. "

6th place.

LEXAND A4 Big

The average price is 1,066 rubles. This mobile phone scored 67% of the fives of reviews on Yandex Market. Specifications: a screen of 2.8 inches 320x240, there is a camera, support for two SIM cards, mp3 support, talk time 4 hours, standby time four days.

From reviews:   "The phone itself is convenient and lightweight. In addition, the plus is that the battery lasts long enough.

In addition, the call is loud , in a noisy place, it's pretty audible. "

Nokia 216 Dual SIM

The average price is 2 800 rubles. The push-button telephone, which went on sale in October 2016, received 29% of the fives on reviews in the Yandex Market and 48% of recommendations for purchase.

From reviews:

"When there is no smartphone at hand, and you are somewhere out of town or somewhere in the resort, for example, it would not be so offensive to lose it in any situation - it can go online even if somehow through an opera with 2G but still, with normal ears, it’s good to listen to music, take a picture of something.

And most importantly, you will not be afraid that the battery runs out like on a smartphone! I recommend if you decide to purchase. "

From reviews:

"Weight is optimal. Not a toy or a brick in your pocket."

The display is bright and clear. Contrasting colors. Strengthening the juiciness of flowers. The color scheme of the display style, strict no frills.

Battery capacity 1200 mAh. If it works as stated, this is great for a phone with 1 SIM card.

Loud ringing tone. Distinct. If it is noisy around, the earpiece in the left ear, everything is solved. Music plays deliciously. I checked how the radio plays, in good headphones - fine.

The price is normal. Moans about the price of those who do not remember. And Nokia has always been 2-2.5 times more expensive than its counterparts from China. This is a good-to-medium-good segment. European quality and cost are right. By the way, the device is not from China. Collected in Vietnam. Inside it says under the battery - Finland.

The menu is simple, looked and studied in 5 minutes.

The font is easy to read, eyes easy. SMS messages come in with windows where there is white text on a reserved orange background.

In standby mode, a simple press of the button on the right, on the locked phone, gives a clear large inscription "time on the screen" and a small battery in the upper right corner - "charge level". I am tender, such a strict classic. Nothing extra".

Nobody needs anyone else. Despite the global expansion of smartphones, this opinion is more than erroneous, the market for familiar phones is more alive than all living ones. Even today, new solutions are on sale. It is unclear why such a state of affairs is justified, the availability of such devices or the contingent who failed to master smartphones plays a role, but the fact remains, 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 office, in particular in the home appliance market. In the field of mobile devices, Philips engineers were knocked out for a long time, the Xenium line even grew into smartphones, but these gadgets were not found in popularity. Philips Xenium X1560 is a niche product aimed at users who want to get the maximum working time and good communication quality. The phone has a classic design, a matte black case, a compact keyboard and a joystick for navigating menus and games. The diagonal of the display is 2.4 inches, and its resolution is 320 by 240 pixels. The TFT matrix is \u200b\u200binvolved, therefore the color rendition and viewing angles suffer greatly, but in order to dial a number, this is enough. The main feature of the gadget is a massive battery, the volume of which amounted to 2900 milliamps hours. The manufacturer promises up to 40 hours of operation under load, 2400 hours of standby time.

Users, for the most part, respond positively to the new product. Many praise the monolithic body, resistant to damage. The battery did not go unnoticed. Enthusiasts managed to stretch their working hours to three weeks. The inhabitants appreciated the ability to recharge other devices using the phone.

Micromax x2400

Button mobile phones with a powerful battery are in great demand. Of the lesser-known representatives of this category, Micromax is also worth highlighting. The Micromax X2400 is equipped with a massive 2800 milliampere battery. The manufacturer promises up to 13 hours of talk time and up to 500 hours of standby time. The phone looks similar to the classic devices from the Sony Ericsson K750 series. The same chubby, with an expanded keyboard and a wider display. There is a camera measuring 0.3 megapixels, suitable only for performing utilitarian functions (to capture documents, for example). There is no Internet access and most of the standard multimedia features.

Despite the very limited functionality, the phone was able to hook the audience at an extremely low price. Of all the push-button phones released in 2016, the Micromax X2400 is perhaps the most affordable for a wide mass of consumers.

Fly ff241

The British brand Fly is very popular in Russia. The mobile division of the company offers a lot of interesting devices, including excellent push-button mobile phones with 2 SIM cards. Visually, the FLY FF241 resembles the Philips Xenium described above. The same compact and ergonomic. The phone has an identical display with a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. Of the advantages, it is worth highlighting 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’s quite tolerable, you can still make a little intelligible photo. The camera is equipped with LED flash, and also knows how to shoot video.

Regarding autonomy, the Fly phone is not far from its main competitors. Under the hood of this baby is a massive battery with a volume of 2750 milliamps of hours. According to the manufacturer, the phone is able to live up to 11 hours of talk time.

The phone hooked many users primarily with its high functionality (with a view to the price, of course). They scolded only the flimsy assembly and the absence of a dual communication module (SIM cards work alternately).

Blackberry q10

Perhaps the best push-button telephone that can be found on the market. In the post-Soviet space, Blackberry is not so popular, but in the West they went crazy for a long time. Externally, the phone is no different from other devices of the manufacturer. A classic rounded rectangle for a comfortable one-handed grip. Awesome QWERTY-keyboard, typing on which is a real pleasure. No accidental clicks, no discomfort with quick typing.

The phone is equipped with a 3.1 inch display with a resolution of 720 by 720 pixels. The AMOLED matrix is \u200b\u200bused, which means that the owner of the gadget will be able to enjoy bright colors and maximum viewing angles. They huddle under the hood: 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 great pictures in good light. The gadget operates on the basis of an advanced operating system created by RIM engineers and supports all the key services of the Canadian company. Also, the phone is one of the safest on the market. With all the features of the device, including the full Blackberry OS, autonomy does not suffer at all. In talk mode, the device lives up to 13 hours.

Samsung Metro B350

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

It’s worth mentioning right away that Samsung began to rely more and more on its brand and corporate design, and the little Metro B350 was no exception. The phone looks stylish. A neat, ascetic design is pleasing to the eye, and high-quality assembly is hands-on. The diagonal of the display is 2.4 inches, and its resolution is 320 by 240 pixels, everything is like everyone else. There is a camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels. Of the features we can distinguish the presence of a full radio. The modest dimensions of the device did not allow to install a capacious battery in it, therefore, everyone who preferred an interesting design would have to put up with a fairly low autonomy in comparison with competitors.

Fans of Samsung speak positively about the gadget. Most often, there is a bright display that produces rich and accurate colors. Many scolded the keyboard for its overly compact size.

Vertex S103

The little-known Vertex brand is rarely found anywhere. Employees of the company clearly do not grab stars from the sky and are satisfied with what they have, producing inexpensive devices for their category of consumers. Vertex S103 has a long-forgotten clamshell form factor. The phone catches with its aesthetics, it is very neat, looks stylish and practical. This will look great in the hands of the fair sex.

Actually, the exterior of the gadget is the only thing that can hook in it. Technical characteristics of the device are poor. A tiny 1.7-inch low-resolution display, a small 800 milliamp-hour battery and a terrible VGA camera. All this does not speak in favor of the brainchild of Vertex, but rather, on the contrary. On the other hand, those who are nostalgic for the good old “cots” or just want to use a pretty thing for a small price should turn their eyes to this miracle.

Nokia 230

One of the last on the list is the legendary brand, which suffered a difficult fate. Nokia mobile phone, push-button. New items from this series do not appear so often. After the company was sold to Microsoft, Windows-based gadgets from the Lumia series took precedence.

Despite this, classic phones have not disappeared. The Finns have not gone far from their roots and continue to make decent “dialers” for connoisseurs of all sorts. One of these phones is the Nokia 230, and it is really good. Stylish, monolithic, metal case captivates at a glance. The hand of a once great brand is felt. Corporate design is perfectly combined with new trends in the design of gadgets. The first thing that catches your eye is a large display with excellent color reproduction 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 live more than 20 hours on a single charge.

The owners of the novelty are delighted. The phone meets the needs of the absolute majority. The display and keyboard are up to par. Basic functions, such as speed dialing and saving multiple numbers for one contact, are present. The only thing that occasionally raises complaints is the metal case, which for many seemed heavy and inappropriate in such a phone.

BQ BQM-3200 Berlin

Massive and rather heavy brick with a talking name. BQ is actively promoting devices in this series. Each device has its own unique character, and is named after various places and cities. Berlin is a very strict, even rude gadget with a large keyboard. The back panel is made of plastic imitating the skin. The visual charms of this phone fade right after it comes to studying the technical specifications. And everyone, starting from a small camera of 0.3 megapixels, ending with a battery of 1250 milliamps hours. The remaining specifications are the same as in the Philips Xenium X1560. When using the device there is a double impression. On the one hand, we have a surprisingly stylish gadget at an extremely affordable price, on the other hand, an intricate menu and weak features.

Today it is difficult to imagine life without a smartphone - without all the functionality that it includes. But just some 15–20 years ago, the world was ruled by push-button “gadgets”. Nowadays, they have almost completely lost their former popularity and have given way to touch phones, but still there are still a small number of followers of good push-button phones - people who do not want to switch to using touch smartphones. It is for such "conservatives" created this 2017 button phones rating. This list will help orient people picking up a simple “dialer”, but at the same time practical and reliable.

10. BRAVIS F242 Dialog

Opens the Top 10 best push-button phones of 2017 - BRAVIS F242 Dialog. This model is no different from the “outstanding ones”, but there’s nothing to blame for it either. It keeps charging moderately - the indicators are far from the leaders, but obviously you will not have to complain. It is worth noting a good bright screen with large elements (numbers, icons, fonts). There are two slots for SIM cards. The phone came out pretty good for the money. In addition, the BRAVIS F242 Dialog pleases with its simple, but at the same time it has the necessary functionality (alarm clock, flashlight, stopwatch, calculator and other functions that come in handy so often).

9. BQ Mobile BQ-2411 Swift L

The next model in our rating of push-button phones 2017 is the BQ Mobile BQ-2411 Swift L. In truth, this is the very middle ground. There are no catchy "pluses" in it, but there are no urgent "minuses". Therefore, it’s just worth listing her characteristics and noting that she does not have all kinds of “chips”. Now, with regard to this phone model: two SIM card slots, an “average” battery and a screen, a “standard” memory (with the ability to increase it with a memory card), Bluetooth, several color versions. As already mentioned, the most average phone is neither to give nor to take. And therefore it is in demand - practical and without troubles.

8. Fly FF282

A pretty good option among phones with mechanical buttons is Fly FF282. This model has a characteristic screen with a size of 2.8 inches, which is more than the "standard" for push-button mobile phones (2.4 inches). A convenient keyboard and a pleasant appearance in a compartment with a small thickness Fly FF282 positively affect the ease of use. Equipped with Bluetooth, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack. In general, the phone is good, but the overall picture is spoiled by its own memory, which is actually not there, and a mediocre camera, the presence of which is obliged, rather, to the point “for show”.

7. SENSEIT L208

SENSEIT L208 will be an excellent choice for those who need to stay constantly in touch - the large battery capacity allows you to keep the phone charging for up to fifty hours in talk mode (!). It has two slots for SIM cards. Advantages: Bluetooth 3.0, USB, support for several audio formats, FM-radio. Among the shortcomings, it is worth noting the lack of a camera, Internet access and a small amount of its own memory (which, on the other hand, is compensated by the ability to increase the built-in up to 32 GB). In addition, this phone is famous for its high build quality.

6. AGM M1

Among the most good push-button phones, the AGM M1 stands out. First of all, its protection from mechanical damage and the effects of an aggressive environment attracts attention. Its body is made of metal and rubber, which allows you to endure all the "hardships" of the operation of the phone, even in extreme conditions. But, at the same time, this makes it more bulky and heavy than other phones. Also pleases the wide functionality of the device and the large volume of its battery. And, interestingly, the main camera of the AGM M1 is waterproof.

5. Micromax X940

The five best push-button phones of 2017 include the Micromax X940. This phone is made in the style of "minimal", and today it is a fashionable trend. In addition, the appearance of the Micromax X940 looks much more stylish than many phones with a mechanical keyboard. In addition to the attractive appearance, it is worth noting the smart shell, a large high-quality screen and the pleasant operation of the device as a whole. Also, the battery capacity is clearly happy - 3000 mAh. This phone even found a place for GPRS and Bluetooth-Audio. Of the minuses - a completely useless camera. But overall the Micromax X940 is pretty good, also at an affordable price.

4. Nokia 216 Dual Sim

A pretty good option for those to whom the phone is important only as a means of communication - Nokia 216 Dual Sim. This model is available in three colors (blue, blue, black) and has two slots for SIM cards. Nokia 216 Dual Sim is a classic version of a push-button phone that holds charging for a long time, has good speakers, a bright flashlight and a display. In addition, the ratio of the cost and quality sides of this device is more than excellent. The disadvantages of this model include the limited functionality. But in general - Nokia 216 Dual Sim is very reliable, moreover, it is pleasantly pleased with the price-quality ratio.

3. BQ Mobile BQ-3201 Option

The undoubted leader in appearance (if I may say so) among push-button phones is the BQ Mobile BQ-3201 Option. The brainchild of the Spanish company BQ clearly stands out by this criterion among other similar ones. Attractive appearance, large screen, fast shell, metal case and even the presence of a TV tuner! In addition to all this, the price of the BQ Mobile BQ-3201 Option is more than affordable. In general ... there is nothing special to complain about in this phone model: high-quality assembly, reasonable price, catchy appearance - the phone turned out to be quite worthy.

2. Nokia 3310 (2017)

The once legendary and well-known to everyone, the push-button Nokia 3310 received a second life and a new incarnation in the restyled version of 2017. The phone’s advantages include a thin, comfortable case, a good display (good visibility of the screen even in bright sunlight), a long battery life, a slot for a memory card and a headset in the kit, support for MP3, FM radio, Bluetooth 3.0. Among the shortcomings, a weak camera, a noticeably high price, strong restrictions on installing applications, a weak speaker and ease of firmware stand out.

1. Philips Xenium E570

And the palm in the ranking of the best push-button phones of 2017 goes to the Philips Xenium E570. You can describe it for a long time and hard, but perhaps you need to start with the characteristics: a 2.8-inch screen, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 3.0, USB, FM radio, a large battery capacity, 2 SIM card slots and still quite rich functionality other "bells and whistles". Of the minuses, perhaps the attention is attracted by the disastrously small amount of their own memory, because a memory card is needed, like wings for an airplane. Otherwise, the phone for its class is very good!

If you are not attracted to mobile games, you don’t feel the convenience of surfing the Internet on a compact device, and you prefer to watch movies only on the big screen, while always staying in touch then you just need to buy an inexpensive button phone. Such a device has a number of indisputable advantages, such as compactness, lightness and long battery life. At the same time, for basic tasks like sending SMS, communicating on a cell phone or listening to music, a mobile phone is more than enough. Choosing the right model for your requirements will help our rating of push-button phones from reliable and trusted manufacturers.

The best push-button phones with a powerful battery

Classic phones attract the attention of users primarily due to the excellent autonomy. Even the simplest devices of this class can work for 2-3 days without problems when they are actively used for calls and SMS. But if you want to completely forget about the existence of an outlet for a whole week and even longer, then it is better to buy phones with a large battery capacity. Such models can become an excellent main unit, make an addition to a productive smartphone and even charge the latter if necessary.

1. Sigma mobile X-treme IP68

Our TOP-3, a push-button telephone with a large battery capacity of 3600 mAh, opens. Thanks to such a battery, the device can easily work for a whole month in standby mode and can be an excellent solution for those who need a simple “dialer” or a spare device that will always be in touch. In addition, Sigma mobile X-treme will appeal to fans of sports and outdoor activities, because this mobile phone is protected from water and dust according to the IP68 standard.

A high-quality push-button telephone with a powerful battery and water protection is supplied in an extensive configuration, which includes, in addition to the usual charger, cable and manual, a good wired headset and a USB adapter that allows you to charge external devices. Of the minuses of this model, you can select only a terrible 0.3-megapixel camera. Given the quality of the images that can be obtained on such a modest module, its installation should be abandoned in favor of a more affordable cost.

  • protection against water, dust and shock;
  • low price;
  • the opportunity to work as a power bank;
  • functionality;

It was these two factors that provided a good push-button telephone without a SENSEIT camera with autonomy of more than 2 days with a continuous conversation. As for the standby mode, here it is still better, because the device can last almost 3 months from a single charge. At the same time, a huge battery allows you to use the device as a power bank, for which purpose a special USB adapter comes with this model.

3. Nokia 130

After Microsoft lost the rights to the Nokia brand, they switched to the Finnish company HMD Global. The latter managed to present a number of stylish and high-quality devices in less than 2 years of operation. However, none of them can boast the same attractiveness that was characteristic of ordinary Nokia mobile phones. And this concerns not only devices that were manufactured in the first half of the zero, but also relatively new solutions. These include the model with the simple name 130, which celebrated its third anniversary this year. This is an excellent budget phone with good build quality and weighing only 68 grams. Although the battery capacity in this unit is only 1020 mAh, which is significantly inferior to other solutions in this category, thanks to the competent work of engineers, the model is able to work for two days with continuous music playback and 26 days in standby mode. In stores, this reliable and simple mobile phone can be found in just one and a half thousand rubles, which is an excellent offer in this category.

The best push-button clamshell phones

The clamshell form factor was once very popular among users. However, with the development of the industry, this design ceased to be convenient, so manufacturers switched to creating monoblocks. However, in the world there are still many fans of cots. This statement is excellently proved by the fact that the Samsung W2018 smartphone was released. However, this device is unlikely to appear on the domestic market, and its price is higher than that of most flagships.

This is a stylish device with a reinforced body, suitable for outdoor enthusiasts. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to find it on sale, which does not allow us to recommend it as the best option. Otherwise, this is an ideal device weighing only 99 grams, as well as primary and secondary screens with a resolution of 160x128 and 80x96 pixels, respectively. There is also a 1.3 MP camera with 8x digital zoom, but for modern users it does not carry any value.

The best push-button phones with a good camera

Of course, even in the most advanced phones with buttons, manufacturers do not install advanced cameras. Such modules are useful only to units, significantly raising the cost of the device. However, several excellent models are still available on the market, the photographic capabilities of which are quite enough for photographs of documents, business cards or other important information. Nevertheless, it should be borne in mind that we are talking about cameras of conventional push-button devices, so they cannot become an alternative even to old "soap boxes" and are suitable only for emergency situations.

1. Alcatel One Touch 2007D

In terms of price and quality, the One Touch 2007D is one of the best in our rating. Alcatel has created a truly convenient and stylish device that is pleasant to use. The 3 MP camera installed here does a good job of simple tasks like shooting small amounts of text or a portrait. The device has slots for two SIM-cards, as well as a bright 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. The main drawback of the Alcatel One Touch 2007D is its battery life. From a 750 mAh battery, the device can work no more than 5.5 with a continuous conversation, as well as up to 15 days in standby time.

The screen of the Nokia 515 has a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 320x240 pixels, and scratch-resistant glass is used to protect it. The 5-megapixel camera installed in the device is supplemented by an LED flash and has a face recognition function. With proper lighting, the sensor installed in the monitored model allows you to get quite acceptable pictures. However, unfortunately, there were some shortcomings. For example, this push-button telephone with a good camera and battery does not have the most convenient menu, in which, in addition, there are unnecessary and undeletable elements. Nokia 515 is also not happy with the sound quality both through the speakers and through the complete headphones.
