12 best button phones

Despite the actual hegemony of touchscreen smartphones, push-button telephones are still in demand from a wide range of people. For the most part, customers value them for a low price, a long time from a single charge, and ease of management (for example, in the cold). Yes, such devices do not have the best cameras or advanced capabilities, but they can offer a number of advantages: reliability, compactness, high autonomy and long model life cycle. Push-button telephones may have turned into niche devices, but they didn’t lose their customer at all - many business people or simply unpretentious users make a choice in their favor.

But, despite the reduction in the segment of push-button telephones, it is extremely easy to get lost in the model range of this or that company. This rating will allow you to figure out exactly which devices are the best in their class in terms of a set of parameters.

The best button phones with a classic case: price - quality

These are sturdy phones with a durable case and useful features. We have assembled mobile phones in this category that keep in touch and are characterized by high reliability.

3 Micromax X412

Solid mobile phone with a convenient compact size. There are many useful features such as transferring contacts via USB, flashlight, vibrating alert, calendar, stopwatch, and even the ability to read books. Cell perfectly keeps in touch and today is one of the best push-button phones with the price up to 1000 rubles.

The model fits two SIM cards. You can listen to music through the audio player and even make backups. The main drawbacks that experienced owners write in reviews are the speaker located on the rear cover and therefore an outstanding thud, and the screen is not bright enough with low viewing angles. There is no camera, but there is a Bluetooth module. A nice feature is the promising 800 mAh battery, which lasts for seven days with an average phone use mode.

2 Alcatel 1066D

Excellent assembled button monoblock. The phone boasts a robust case made of textural, soft-touch plastic, a convenient location and a button stroke, and a strict, concise design. Even the font and colors of the menu are tastefully selected. The intensity of the screen backlight can be adjusted within fairly wide limits: it is comfortable to read from the display both in bright sun and in darkness.

In the settings there is everything you need: call recording (to a memory card), blacklist, calculator, organizer, converter, alarm clock, voice recorder and even a radio. The interlocutor is heard well, you also hear very well during a telephone conversation. This is one of the best mobile phones in the low-cost segment.In the reviews, users found only minor flaws: a small battery (enough for two or three days with rare conversations), no vibrating signal and a slow Internet (enough to send MMS and view the weather forecast, news and public transport timetable).

1 Nokia 3310 Dual Sim (2017)

The original Nokia 3310, presented to the world in 2000, has become a real legend. About her strength and "vitality" heard, perhaps, everyone. The model of 2017 has the same name, but does it correspond to this name? Oh yeah! Judging by the independent tests, the phone has the same properties: it goes through crashes, blows and other bullying without any problems. An extremely necessary property for a utilitarian "dialer".

Appearance of the leader of the rating tried to bring as close as possible to the old model, but the design looks fresh. Fans of brightness will enjoy the presence of five options for body color. I would like to highlight a good camera - 2 megapixels without autofocus take mediocre photos, but competitors cannot offer that either. Inside we are waiting for the usual cell without any frills. The operating system is simple, but made in a single minimalist style - it looks nice. And yes, the famous "snake" is here. The 1200 mAh battery lasts for about 5-7 days of use.

The best push-button telephones

In the past decade, clamshell phones were fashion devices on their own, and the efforts of the then-market-leading Motorola company and the PR campaign of the Razr line (and partly Tundra) increased sales of devices of this form factor. Over time, the demand for such solutions faded away, but many still appreciate them for their compactness and usability - many of the clamshells have a convenient additional screen that displays the time, date, and the name / number of the caller. But the model with the above option is now extremely difficult to find on the shelves.

3 Alcatel 2051D

A clamshell with an optimal size is not a tiny device, but a normal mobile phone that fits comfortably in your hand. Pleases the keyboard - the buttons are large, signatures are noticeable, so the model fits into the parameters of the models for the elderly. The speakers are loud, and the clamshell form factor eliminates the need to press any key combination to unlock.

On board, there is Bluetooth and a camera of as much as 2 megapixels, which is not the case and often among push-button models. Batteries are enough for a week with daily calls for a total duration of up to 30 minutes. Special attention should be paid to the stable support of communication even in those places where the smartphone is periodically “lost”. Vibrate on location. The main disadvantages are the lack of an event indicator, a sleek housing with a glossy finish and an inconvenient typing method (T9 must be turned off each time).

2 LG G360

Yielded to the palm in our rating of LG G360 - in terms of technical characteristics, it is, although a little, but inferior to the best clamshell phone. For the most part, this happened because of the much higher cost and lower strength indicators. But in many ways the model from the South Korean manufacturer is not just not inferior, but even surpasses the competitor. Firstly, with minimal differences in size, the engineers fit a large 3-inch screen with a high brightness and natural color rendition into a small case. The second trump card of the model is a fairly powerful (as for a clamshell) battery with a capacity of 950 mAh.

The claimed talk time of the G360 is 13 hours, which is twice as long as the competitor. The rest of the two models are comparable, but the price is not in favor of LG - the clamshell from Koreans costs four and a half times the winner of the rating.

1 ZTE R341

Stylish, neat and almost armor-piercing clamshell with a very large battery and radio. Bonus to everything are Bluetooth and complete headphones. In reviews, many users note the high strength properties of this phone. Cell sustained a year of operation in the conditions of construction, made a company of linen during hour-washing in a washing machine, and this did not affect his work. Matte plastic body reliable. The screen has a huge margin of brightness - in daily conditions, the owners are satisfied with a brightness level of one division out of five.

The seemingly formal camera with a resolution of 0.1 MP surprisingly creates good shots in the 640x480 format. The main disadvantages of a mobile phone are the small amount of internal memory (solved by connecting a memory card), the absence of a blacklist and a flashlight. Due to the bright screen, durable case and large buttons, the model is the best for the elderly. The only thing here is no SOS button. But the speakers are loud: both spoken and external.

The best button phones with a powerful battery

These are mobile phones that are characterized by record battery life. An ideal option for older people who forget to charge the device on time, and an excellent device for tourist purposes, when there is no possibility to connect the phone to an outlet.

3 Digma LINX A230WT 2G

Mobile phone with a brutal design and a record capacity for push-button models of battery - 6000 mAh. The battery provides autonomy up to one and a half months, and with active use, you are unlikely to be able to discharge it in a week.

Also in the phone there is a flashlight. Bright and with the best range of light compared to other competitors. The screen is quite large (2.31 inches diagonally) and also bright. Externally, the monoblock looks like an armor-piercing device, also in the model description you can find the declared water protection. In fact, there is no water resistance here - even the connectors are not covered with plugs, and the plastic case cannot provide acceptable impact resistance. Unusual to date cell phone function - a walkie-talkie. But in the reviews, they note that the sound is very quiet, although the microphone and speakers work fine and in other conditions they give a loud sound with a good margin.

2 Fly ff249

Excellent push-button cell phone. The manufacturer has provided owners with the opportunity to increase the amount of ROM with a memory card, as there is not enough regular place even for photos. The model supports two SIM-cards, is equipped with Bluetooth and boasts a 32 MB RAM. There is also an MP3 player and a radio, but the main advantage of this cell phone is its battery life. Due to the large battery capacity of 4000 mAh, with rare calls, the phone lives without a socket for a month and a half.

A great bonus is the ability to use the phone as a bank. That is, simply connect your smartphone to this cell phone with a cable and charge. Cherry on the cake - you can listen to the radio without connecting a headset. There is also the Internet, the function is disabled. There are few drawbacks here, but they are - this is a weak camera, the absence of T9, the absence of at least some permanent memory from the box (can be treated with a flash card) and not the smallest dimensions (sacrifice for a large battery).

1 Philips Xenium E570

If you say the name of the manufacturer "Phillips" even to an uninformed man in the street, then in his head long-lived models probably belong to the premium segment. And if the first is absolutely true, then the second is a big mistake, because the company has long changed its course towards the budget segment. Philips Xenium E570 - proof of the thesis that for a little money you can get a lot from the phone.

There are several good reasons for recognizing him to be the best in the rating.The first is the ratio of price and quality of the case: for your money, the phone has a large screen, and it does not look like a budget, as is often the case with models from other manufacturers. The second is a powerful battery that provides more than two days (!) In the talk mode. In practice, this gives every reason to count on two weeks of work, if you do not abuse listening to music through a Bluetooth headset, which is also supported here.

The best button phones with large screen

The presence of a large screen hints at the presence of comfort-readable fonts, so models from this category are suitable for people with vision problems. Also, the phones from the collection will appeal to those who are going to view the news from the "dialer", to correspond and even read books.

3 Nokia 230 Dual SIM

Classic candy bar from the famous brand. For the price requested by the manufacturer, it is quite possible to buy an inexpensive smartphone, so in the reviews for this model they write a lot of negatives. But for those who are looking for a reliable mobile phone without unnecessary problems, the model will be the best solution. The main mistake of Nokia is a new software, which is characterized by lack of purpose and a complex interface.

In contrast to this - convenient dimensions, a large screen of 2.8 inches, a tactilely pleasant metal and plastic case, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, support for polyphony and a large 1200 mAh battery. In talk mode, the phone lasts for 23 hours, and waiting far from the outlet lasts three weeks. Bluetooth is version 3.0 here, which looks attractive against the background of inexpensive competitors with second-generation Bluetooth. A nice bonus for fans to listen to music through wireless headphones - support for A2DP codec.

2 BQ BQ-2807 Wonder

Model with a display of 2.8 inches and a stylish glossy body for metal. The feature of this phone is the second screen with a diagonal of 1.77 inches, where you can see the time and other relevant information. Built-in memory is limited to 64 MB, the manufacturer took the same amount to RAM. Data storage can easily expand the resource flash drives.

Under the body hides Bluetooth, radio and camera. 1100 mAh battery allows you not to worry about the sudden discharge of a mobile phone for 3-4 days. Today it is one of the newest folding beds. It will suit older people at the expense of a bright screen with readable fonts and a convenient keyboard. It’s hard to call a phone inexpensive, but it bypasses cheaper competitors with enhanced functionality and more efficient hardware. The reviews emphasize a wide range of colors.

1 BQ BQ-3201 Option

The model from the Spanish manufacturer can be called one of the most unusual phones on the market. First of all, you pay attention to the unusually large screen for a push-button phone - 3.2 inches. In addition, the side and top frames are relatively thin. Why such a giant screen "dialer"? For example, to watch TV through the built-in analog tuner. Just a great solution for a short time in the queue. You should not worry about autonomy, because there is a 1750 mAh battery inside. In addition, in advantages it is worth writing down excellent appearance. The form is not quite ordinary, but the design is strict, minimalistic - it is fit to call it premium.
