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. Separately placed for convenient quick access social media And Opera browser. 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. With their own good characteristics, in the sun the screen transmits information very poorly. 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 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 the best in the best possible way in poor lighting.
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
Peculiarity this phone the fact 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 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 dynamics, 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.

The requirements of older people for mobile technology are radically different from the needs of the younger generation. They don’t care about the amount of RAM, the presence of an NFC module, or similar little things. The main thing is that the screen is large and easy to read, and that the phone itself is reliable and easy to use.
Just5 BRICK
Just5 BRICK is a typical dialer with large buttons and simplified controls, but the design of this phone makes it special. The smartphone has a rectangular body, without rounded corners, fits like a glove in your hand and feels like a small block.
The battery lasts for 3-4 days of using the device, the communication quality is excellent. The only problem may be that the screen is not the largest - only 1.77 inches, which is why this mobile is poorly suited for people with disabilities. poor eyesight. The cost is about 3 thousand rubles.
Philips Xenium E311
The Xenium line from Philips is known for its battery life; on a single charge, these phones can last about a week in talk mode. The E311 didn’t disappoint either, it has everything you need - large and comfortable buttons, an excellent display, a flashlight, a radio and a loud speaker that can be heard well even in public transport.
The presence of an SOS button, which is used to quickly call a given number, is also useful. The Xenium E311 is even equipped with a camera, but the 0.3 MP sensor is more for show than for real use. Overall, this is a good smartphone from a trusted manufacturer that can be bought for 5 thousand rubles.
Philips Xenium E311
ONEXT Care-Phone 5
Care-Phone 5 is aimed at pensioners with poor vision; in addition to large buttons and a bright screen with large fonts, it is equipped with a voice confirmation system, following the prompts of which the smartphone can be controlled literally blindly.
There is also an SOS key, when pressed, the cell phone can not only dial a given number, but also emit a loud siren, attracting the attention of surrounding people. Among the advantages of this model, we note low price– only 1800 rubles.
ONEXT Care-Phone 5
teXet TM-B116
teXet is a domestic company that sells phones assembled in China under its own brand. TM-B116 turned out to be quite ambiguous, in addition to the standard set for older people - large buttons and a screen, it has some frills (the ability to use a flash drive, Bluetooth), but at the same time the manufacturer installed a weak battery in the smartphone - only 600 mAh, which is enough on average for 2 days of use.
We can recommend teXet TM-B116 not only to pensioners, but also to anyone who wants to buy a simple and inexpensive (RUB 1,900) phone that can be used as an MP3 player for listening to music on headphones.
BQ BQM-2800 Alexandria
For lovers of stylish things, we recommend the BQM-2800; this is a classic push-button telephone, which is available in 9 body colors. In addition to its beautiful appearance, the device boasts a large and high-quality 2.8’’ display, a slot for a flash drive, a 1000 mAh battery and a radio.
It costs only 1200 rubles, for that kind of money it is the best option in terms of functionality. However, due to the standard buttons, the BQM-2800 will not best choice for people with poor vision.

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

KENEKSI K6 is a push-button phone with good multimedia characteristics. The K6 is equipped with a 2.4-inch display, a slot for a flash drive, an MP3 player and a radio, a 0.3 MP camera and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The K6 dialer functions perfectly; you can’t complain about the quality of the call, as well as the volume of the speaker. The device fits perfectly in the hand and has a durable, wear-resistant body. For its 1,500 rubles, this is an excellent choice.

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

Fly FF301 has the largest screen among all representatives of our rating, its diagonal is 3”, while the fonts in the menu are adjusted to truly gigantic sizes.
The autonomy of Fly FF301 is also at a good level, the phone is enough for 3 full days. One can only find fault with this model because of the ill-conceived design of the main speaker; it is located on the back side of the case, and if the smartphone is placed with the back cover down, the volume of the speaker is significantly reduced. Cost – from 2000 rubles.
Alcatel One Touch 2007D

Alcatel One Touch 2007D
Alcatel 2008G
Alcatel is a phone specifically designed for seniors that we consider one of the best in this selection. This device is good for everyone, it has huge buttons and a large display, good call quality and loud speakers, a durable 1400 mAh battery, a 2 MP camera and the ability to use the mobile Internet.
A smartphone costs about 2,100 rubles, this is not the cheapest option, but it will more than satisfy the needs of any pensioner. And in terms of reliability and quality, cell phones from famous brands are superior to phones from small Chinese manufacturers.
Alcatel OT-2004C
OT-2004C is an improved version of the previously reviewed model, to which the manufacturer has added multimedia capabilities. This device has a layer for memory cards up to 16 GB, and it also plays audio files in MP3 format.

Alcatel OT-2004C
Nokia 215 Dual Sim
A push-button telephone from the once popular company Nokia, differing from analogues only in the bright colors of the case. The 215th model turned out to be quite controversial, it supports 2 SIM cards, has a capacious battery and a good display. However, the fonts on the display remain small even when turned on in the maximum size settings, which is why it cannot be recommended for people with low vision.
The bottom line is that the Nokia 215 is a reliable and convenient phone that, with careful use, will last for many years. Price – from 2000 rubles.
Nokia 215 Dual Sim
Nokia 222
Analogous to the 2150 model with multimedia capabilities. There is a slot for a flash drive, a headphone jack, radio, Bluetooth, a 2 MP camera, and the ability to play video and MP3 files. The phone is quite fast and pleasant to use.
Among the shortcomings, we note the weak functionality of the phone book (limited title length, one number per contact) and a somewhat inflated price. The cost of Nokia 222 starts at 3,500 rubles, but phones with similar characteristics from other manufacturers cost, on average, a thousand less.
Samsung Metro B350E
The B350E, with the exception of design, can be considered a complete analogue of the Nokia 222. These devices have identical characteristics and functionality, minor differences in favor of Samsung are a larger battery capacity, a more convenient interface and the absence of stupid restrictions in the phone book. The current price of the B350E is 4 thousand rubles, which, again, is unreasonably expensive.
IN modern world With the development of technology, push-button phones have lost primacy in the market to their touchscreen colleagues, and accordingly, the interest of developers in them has decreased significantly. However, even now you can find some interesting solutions in which physical buttons are still present. If they have any advantages over sensory competitors? We'll find out about this in our rating, which contains new push-button phones for 2018-2019 with a large screen. Begin.
No. 10 – MAXVI C11
Price: 970 rubles 
Our rating of push-button phones with a large screen opens with the MAXVI C11. Externally it looks like a typical brick. The diagonal of the display installed in an inexpensive phone is 2.4 inches, the resolution is 320x240, and the pixel density is 167 ppi. Praising the display in a device for 900 rubles is simply stupid, so there is no point in focusing on this parameter.
As for the performance of this model, it works without brakes and is quite stable. There is useful software such as an alarm clock, calendar and radio. The amount of RAM is 32 MB, the amount of internal memory is identical, and this figure can be expanded up to 16 GB. What’s a little funny - how can you fill a flash card with several gigabytes in a dialer? Except with music. MAXVI C11 has a rear camera with a 1.3 MP sensor.
No. 9 – Fly TS113
Price: 1590 rubles 
With its appearance, Fly TS113 absolutely does not stand out among other dialers and, if not for the logo, it could easily be confused with any other phone in this class. The 2.4-inch screen has a resolution of 320x240 and a ppi of 143.
In terms of its operation, there are no particular complaints; the user can easily use this device for its intended purpose (calls and SMS), and there will be no lags or freezes. The high battery life, which is so valued in such devices, is provided by a 1000 mAh battery. The amount of RAM is 32 MB, and the standard storage, which holds 32 MB of information, can be expanded up to 16 GB using a memory card. It’s not clear why, but the Fly TS113 has a camera with a resolution of 0.3 MP.
No. 8 – VERTEX D515
Price: 1,800 rubles 
VERTEX D515, although it looks like a brick, still has some hint of elegance and style, which already allows it to look preferable to many models in this segment. The screen here is quite good - a 2.4-inch diagonal, a resolution of 320x240 and a pixel density of 167 ppi. The most interesting thing is that graininess is not visible on it even when working with large font.
In terms of performance, it looks exactly the same as all other similar devices available in terms of price. Lags when making calls and sending SMS can only happen in very bad phones. The model has an impressive 1600 mAh battery, so for those who rarely use the VERTEX D515 charger, it will be the best choice and a reliable companion.
No. 7 – Nokia 230 Dual Sim
Price: 4,990 rubles 
The first representative of a well-known brand in the past, which Lately lost its former popularity. Nokia 230 Dual Sim is intriguing with its appearance - the phone body is made of metal and plastic and looks quite nice. As for the screen, the developers installed a 2.8-inch diagonal display with a resolution of 320x240 in the Nokia 230 Dual Sim.
There are no significant shortcomings in operation; this phone will cope with the dialing functions with a bang. In addition, it will be possible to install modest 2D games on it, which should also not cause problems when running. A decent battery life is guaranteed by a 1200 mAh battery. Also, note the presence of two cameras – the main one and the front one. The sensor resolution in both cases is 2 MP.
Nokia 230 Dual Sim
No. 6 – teXet TM-501
Price: 2,000 rubles 
TeXet TM-501 is a slider. I remember that 10 years ago, owning such a gadget automatically made you a person keeping up with the times, now it will turn you into a hipster in the eyes of society. If we put the lyrics aside, it is worth noting that the 2.8-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 320x240 shows a good picture. The font is clearly visible, so teXet TM-501 is worth considering as an option if you are looking for a gift for your grandmother. The volume of the device’s speaker also speaks in favor of this.
Long service life is guaranteed by a battery with a capacity of 1000 mAh. As practice shows, this is enough to keep the phone working for three days, if you use it as a dialer. teXet TM-501 has a camera with a 0.3 MP sensor.
No. 5 – BQ BQ-3201 Option
Price: 2,000 rubles 
The first thing I want to note when it comes to the BQ BQ-3201 Option is the design. Yes, you heard right, and in push-button phones this may be all right. The presented model is made in a very simple style and looks elegant. The gadget was equipped with a 3.2-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 320x240.
The presence of a battery with a capacity of 1750 mAh provides the phone with high autonomy. The camera with a 1.3 MP sensor resolution does a good job of taking document photos.
No. 4 – Nokia 3310 (2017)
Price: 3,590 rubles 
The design of Nokia 3310 (2017) is unusual. For some reason, it reminds me of a Tamagotchi or some similar toy. In any case, in the hands of a child, and especially a girl, the phone will look very harmonious. The screen has a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 320x240 pixels.
The phone was released last year and is a modern vision of the cult classic, the indestructible 3310. It is worth noting that the phone turned out to be very successful for its class - it has good autonomy thanks to the 1200 mAh battery, dimensions 51x115.6x12.8 mm make it compact, and larger nothing is required from such a device. Yes, there is a camera with a 2 MP sensor, but there is no talk about the quality of the images. The only thing you can complain about is the lack of ability to use two SIM cards at the same time.
No. 3 – Nokia 8110 4G
Price: 5,490 rubles 
Another slider in our rating, which contains the best push-button phones with a large screen. Externally, the gadget resembles a banana, this is especially noticeable when it is extended. Screen diagonal – 2.45 inches, resolution – 320x240 pixels. The image on it is clear and distinguishable, the font is large.
The Nokia 8110 4G was equipped with Qualcomm MSM8905 as a processor, and Adreno 304 took over the role of the graphics accelerator. As for the amount of memory, there is 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of built-in memory. Autonomy is guaranteed by a battery with a capacity of 1500 mAh. The gadget also supports Wi-Fi and LTE networks, which will be a pleasant bonus for many owners. The main camera sensor has a resolution of 2 MP.
#2 – BlackBerry Passport
Price: 22,900 rubles 
One step away from the “gold” in our rating of popular models of push-button phones with a large screen is the BlackBerry Passport. The company has long been known for producing solutions for office workers, which are more like a kind of organizer, stuffed with everything necessary applications. The 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 1440x1440 shows a decent picture, and due to the pixel density of 453, the level of detail is also at a high level.
A pair consisting of a Snapdragon 801 processor and an Adreno 303 graphics accelerator was appointed to be responsible for the performance of the gadget. In their work, they have proven themselves to be only good. The amount of RAM is 3 GB, and the storage can hold up to 32 GB of information, including pictures taken with the main camera with a 13 MP sensor or the front camera with a 2 MP sensor. Also, the BlackBerry Passport has a 3450 mAh battery.
BlackBerry Passport
#1 – BlackBerry KEY2
Price: 51,500 rubles 
Our top feature phone with a large screen is headed by the BlackBerry KEY2. A true flagship in a seemingly long-dead market. The gadget is made in a case of the highest quality, as befits a premium segment device. The diagonal of its display is 4.5 inches and the resolution is 1620x1080. In terms of image quality, it can compare with many touchscreen competitors and even outperform the majority. Color rendition, detail and saturation – everything here is at the best level.

2018 — 2019The younger generation keeps up with the times and takes advantage of all the benefits of technological progress.

In any salon cellular communication 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 conditions. 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 radio 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 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 option 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 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 for a long time work 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.
