16 best button phones

Push-button telephones, as it seems, will always be in demand. Such devices are very reliable - with the usual fall on the asphalt, they rarely break. Also, the mobile phone works for a long time from a single battery charge, despite its low capacity. And still the push-button device is much easier for an elderly person to master, whose touchscreen display is trivially frightening. The range of "buttons" is now very wide, but at the same time, all these phones are not well-known - the name of a particular model most often will not tell you anything. How to make a choice? For this, we recommend reading our article. It contains the best mobile phones among those available in the Russian retail. We draw your attention to the fact that smartphones can be included in this selection - the main thing is that they have a physical digital or QWERTY-keyboard.

The best cheap button phones

Alcatel One Touch 1020D

Rating: 4.7

One of the simplest devices in our rating. It is also the cheapest - in some stores it can be purchased for only 690 rubles. And this is a rare case when the push-button mobile is offered in two colors - black and white.

This phone is very small and light. At the same time inside it there was a place for two SIM-cards. The microSD card slot is missing here. It is simply not required, since the product does not support MP3 music, let alone some other media files. However, the owner of this cellphone can still listen to music - through the built-in FM radio. It's funny that they are endowed with the majority of devices that fall into our selection.

With such functionality, the push-button device could easily get a monochrome display. However, the manufacturer is still generous to the color screen, the diagonal of which is 1.8 inches, and the resolution - 126x160 pixels. He also introduced a flashlight into his creation. However, it is not recommended to use it actively, because the capacity of the battery present here is only 400 mAh. Strictly speaking, the battery is the main drawback of the device - its full charge is only enough for three hours of talk time. Therefore, this is not the best choice for a person accustomed to conversations in large volumes. But in the standby mode, the phone is able to last a couple of days, in this regard there are no serious complaints to it.

Push-button telephone with QWERTY-keyboard and Wi-Fi module

Blackberry q10

Rating: 4.8

In fact, this is a smartphone, not a phone, because it functions under the control of a full-fledged BlackBerry OS operating system. However, he could not but fall into our rating, because the firmware of the device is much inferior to Android in terms of opening opportunities, so many people take this device as a traditional mobile phone, supplemented with a QWERTY-keyboard. Only a very expensive mobile phone, because its cost varies from 13 to 20 thousand rubles. And this is also a phone that does not have an official guarantee - this is due to the fact that the BlackBerry brand is present in the Russian market exclusively on an unofficial basis.

None of the devices in our rating has a display with such a high resolution. 720x720 pixels - with a modest 3.1-inch diagonal, this results in a pixel density of 328 PPI. This is an excellent result, which many budget smartphones cannot boast. And still pleased with the fact that the screen was created by technology AMOLED. This means that ideal black colors are waiting for the buyer, the absence of backlighting in the dark is especially noticeable. Also, this display has a low power consumption.

Under the screen is a comfortable QWERTY-keyboard. But to control the operating system, it is not necessary to use it exclusively - the display here uses a touchscreen; in this regard, the BlackBerry Q10 is no different from all modern smartphones. Even on the front side of the button-type device you can see the front camera. But this device is designed for a business person, so this element will not help exactly in shooting high-quality selfies - the camera shows itself well only in the organization of video communications. By the way, you can talk with the interlocutor via a wired or wireless headset - there is a 3.5-mm audio jack and Bluetooth 4.0. The presence of an NFC chip looks completely unexpected.

On the back of the device is the lens of an 8 megapixel camera. There are not enough stars from the sky, but with its help you can shoot video in Full HD resolution. The quality is far from what the rear cameras of smartphones are capable of. But if we talk about the representatives of our rating, they offer nothing of the kind. And no wonder, because they do not have a dual-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. Also under the case of this QWERTY-phone are 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. In short, it is difficult to find fault with the device. The only thing that buyers lack is a fingerprint scanner - it seems to us that it must be present in such an expensive gadget.

The best button phones with a classic case

Nokia 3310 Dual Sim (2017)

Rating: 4.9

At one time, the reincarnation of the Nokia 3310 provoked a strong reaction from both ordinary people and professionals involved in reviews of various electronic equipment. HMD Global has taken the classic model as a basis, having significantly transformed it, making it more modern. For example, a 2017 product received a 2.4-inch color screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. Text and icons are clearly visible even under the bright sun - not every mobile phone can boast of it. And the new version of the Nokia 3310 received a two-megapixel camera, with which you can take pictures of a person in order to place his face in a contact book.For such images 20 MB of permanent memory are allocated. If you want to use the device as an MP3 player, you will have to get a microSD card.

The composition of such a phone could not enter the FM-radio. However, remember that it works only when headphones are connected - they will act as an antenna. Another product has a module Bluetooth 3.0, used to synchronize with wireless headsets. Also, the mobile phone offers Internet access - for this purpose, EDGE technology is used. Someone will be able to please and a flashlight.

Perhaps, Nokia 3310 (2017) should suit every customer. Especially those who understand that he is acquiring a mobile phone, and not a smartphone. In short, the push-button phone is not in vain in our rating. And do not forget that in the stores you can find two versions of the device - they differ in the number of slots for the SIM card. And do not expect from this apparatus indestructibility - in this respect it differs from the prototype only for the worse.

Philips Xenium E331

Rating: 4.8

Another mobile phone manufactured by the Chinese, but already distributed under the Philips brand. This button device also supports the installation of two SIM-cards - a single-valued version of this model simply does not exist. And here, too, there is a Bluetooth-module with which the wireless headset is connected.

When looking at the phone, it becomes immediately clear that first of all it is intended for the elderly. This is evidenced by the large font, which is written the numbers on the keys. They will like the light weight of the device, which is no more than 112 g. They will also appreciate the 2.4-inch display, whose resolution is 320x240 pixels. On this screen, you can clearly see all the menu lines, even if a person has vision problems. It should be noted, and the presence of an MP3 player. Including MP3-music can be put on the call. And here is the FM radio. What is interesting, you can activate it even without connecting headphones - the radio has a built-in antenna. This is a rare property that is deprived of almost all other devices considered by us.

The rest is a typical mobile phone. The user here is available 3.8 MB of internal memory, so the music and pictures will have to upload to the microSD card. By the way, this is best done using a computer. Of course, Philips Xenium E331 is also able to go on the Internet, but this is done using the simplest GPRS module - there is enough speed only for downloading WAP sites. We also do not recommend using the camera - it only has a 0.3 megapixel resolution. I am glad that nothing bad can be said about the battery - the capacity of 1600 mAh is enough for many hours of battery life. However, the Xenium line of phones is known for precisely long work.

Alcatel 2008G

Rating: 4.8

One of the most affordable phones in our ranking. In Russian stores, they ask for no more than 1,700 rubles, and often you can buy it for much less money. This device is very compact, and its weight does not exceed an insignificant 90 g. At the same time, inside it there was a place for a Bluetooth-module, which not every button phone gets.But the SIM card slot is installed here in a single copy, and this is the main disadvantage of this device. With which, however, it is possible to accept.

Three color versions of the Alcatel 2008G are on sale. In any case, the case will be made of plastic, and the front panel will be occupied by a keyboard and a 2.4-inch LCD display. The resolution of the latter is 320x240 pixels, and the pixel density here reaches 167 PPI. In short, it is impossible to find fault with the screen. As for the camera, the resolution of which reaches 2 Mp. Of course, this parameter is extremely small for video shooting, but such a camera provides quite decent pictures for a contact book.

This mobile phone recognizes MP3 music without any problems. It should be kept on a memory card, since the amount of built-in storage available to the user here is only 5 MB. On the case of the device can be detected 3.5-mm audio jack. Also, the sound can be output to a wireless headset, using the module Bluetooth 3.0. You can also listen to music through the built-in radio, which does not require a headphone connection - the creators endowed it with its own antenna.

Perhaps this phone is the best combination of price and features. The push-button telephone even has an SOS button, which in certain conditions can be very useful. It remains to add that the capacity of the battery used here is 1400 mAh.

Nokia 130

Rating: 4.7

Enough easy to learn phone. Its release began in the days when Nokia was owned by Microsoft. It is felt that the manufacturer had some problems with money, in connection with which the mobile phone received very weak components. For example, the menu here is displayed on a 1.8-inch LCD display, whose resolution is only 160x128 pixels. This alone does not recommend to recommend such a purchase to older people. Also, savings can be felt by the fact that the device does not have a camera. At all! This means that the contact book will be without photos - with the incoming call only the name will be displayed.

One would expect that such a device will not receive support for MP3-tunes. However, in this regard, the manufacturer did not save. Moreover, MP3-music can be output to a wireless headset - for this, Bluetooth 3.0 technology is used. If there is no such accessory at your disposal, then you can do with wired headphones - the 3.5 mm audio jack has not gone anywhere. By the way, their connection will be required and, if necessary, to listen to FM radio.

The mobile phone turned out to be almost weightless, it is one of the easiest phones in our rating. Also can not but rejoice in the presence of at least two color versions of the device - with red and black cases. But one slot for a SIM card will seem to someone nonsense. However, the phone does not know how to go online, so there is not much point in combining the two tariffs. Another device can boast the presence of a slot for a memory card - the maximum supported instance is 32 GB. Autonomous operation of the phone is ensured by the familiar BL-5C battery with a capacity of 1020 mAh. The manufacturer promises that this will be enough for 13 hours of continuous conversation.

The best button phones with a good camera

LG G360

Rating: 4.9

One of the most expensive push-button devices in our rating, if we talk only about phones. In the Russian retail for the LG G360 asking about 4300 rubles. At the same time they offer to purchase a device in one of two colors - red and black. The high cost is due to the excellent quality of the product - this mobile phone will definitely not break in the next one or two years of use. Also the form factor influenced the price tag. The fact is that this is a clamshell, albeit without an additional display on the top panel.

If the device is opened, you can access the 3-inch screen. Its resolution is 320x240 pixels. Even a visually impaired person can make out what is happening on the display, which is good news. However, a person with good eyesight will immediately pay attention to pixelation, and this is not good. It also uses a very large keyboard - this is already a plus.

Under the back cover is a removable battery familiar to such devices. Its capacity is 950 mAh, which is enough for most users. Another phone has two slots for SIM-cards. This option is useful if you have both a home and work number. Someone handy and rear camera. Its resolution is 1.3 MP. This is a very good option, rarely found in push-button cell phones. It is a sin not to use such a camera for photographing people from the contact book. By the way, 20 MB of internal memory is allocated for saving images. If this is not enough, you can always use a memory card of up to 16 GB. You will have to install it even if you want to listen to MP3 music. The sound, by the way, can be output not only to wired, but also to Bluetooth-headphones.

Philips E560

Rating: 4.8

This phone looks quite stylish, although it belongs to the traditional monoblock form factor. On its front panel there was a place for the keyboard, the manufacturer's logo and a 2.4-inch display. The resolution of the latter is 320x240 pixels, so that it houses a large number of icons and menu items. On the back side, you can find a fairly large lens belonging to a two-megapixel camera. She knows how to create good shots, and if you want, you can use it to record a video (but of very poor quality). Moreover, the camera is complemented by an LED flash, which is rare for a modern push-button phone.

Of course, such an expensive button machine could not do without the support of MP3-music. You should upload it to the memory card - the maximum mobile phone is able to recognize a 32 GB drive. The phone itself cannot go online, so you will need a computer, tablet or smartphone to download songs. The sound can be output either to headphones or to a Bluetooth headset. Or use the built-in speaker, also used for the speakerphone.

The device turned out very worthy. He is definitely worth his money. Someone may not like only the fact of having one color - only black. But the device has two slots for SIM-cards. As for weight, it is 138 g - very well for a modern "button".

BQ BQ-3201 Option

Rating: 4.7

This mobile phone immediately attracts attention. Many consumers are attracted by the LCD display installed here, the diagonal of which reaches 3.2 inches. The screen resolution is 240x320 pixels, pixelation doesn’t strike the eye. Under the screen there was a place for numerous keys, with the help of which the dialing and control in the menu was implemented. If you look at the back panel, a large enough lens stands out immediately. Under it lies the sensor, whose resolution is 1.3 megapixels. If there is a task to photograph a person for a contact book, then the camera will precisely cope with it. But not in the dark, because the flash this phone is not endowed.

The device is distributed in two colors. Like most existing mobile phones, it supports work with a pair of SIM-cards. Also here there is a slot for a memory card, the volume of which should not exceed 16 GB. Basically, you will need the drive to listen to MP3 music, because it is pointless to upload such tunes to the internal memory - 30 MB is enough only for a couple of tracks. By the way, the user can listen and FM-radio. Moreover, the phone has a TV tuner! But only analog. When our country fully switches to DVB-T2 digital format, this option will become useless.

It should be noted that this mobile phone does not know how to go online. And he got into our rating not only thanks to the camera and the screen, but also due to a very capacious battery. In a word, the device is definitely worth its two thousand rubles. If only you are willing to put up with the fact that some people will hear your conversation. The fact is that the device does not have a front speaker. That is, during a conversation, the rear speaker is working, just at a low volume.

The best button phones with a powerful battery

Philips Xenium E570

Rating: 4.9

It was Philips who started to equip their phones with a capacious battery. Since then, the rights to the brand have received the Chinese, but the situation has not changed - many mobile phones from the Xenium series still receive a capacious battery. For example, the Philips Xenium E570 includes a battery with a capacity of 3160 mAh. With him, even with regular conversations, chargers will have to be used only once every few days or even a week.

But the device is unique not only for its battery. The manufacturer has endowed his creation with 133 MB of internal memory. If you do not wish to turn the phone into an MP3 player, then you definitely will not need a microSD card. By the way, here you can listen to music, including via Bluetooth-headphones. And here there is FM-radio, but wired headphones will be needed to activate it - they will act as an antenna.

The picture here is displayed on a 2.8-inch display, whose resolution is 240x320 pixels. We can say that this is the standard for the modern "button". It should please the buyer and a flashlight that can be useful in a dark entrance or somewhere else. Also, it should be noted that there are two slots for SIM-cards. Well, you can complain about the weight - the device turned out quite heavy.

SENSEIT L208

Rating: 4.8

Another button phone in our rating, the screen resolution of which is 240x320 pixels.With a 2.4-inch diagonal, this is quite an adequate parameter that allows the firmware to display a large number of icons. But the button device got into our selection thanks to its battery, the capacity of which is 4000 mAh. The manufacturer promises that the user will be able to talk on this phone for more than one and a half days in a row.

Only one color version of the device is available. As befits a modern mobile phone, the SENSEIT L208 has two SIM slots. The weight of the device is 120 g. 30 MB of permanent memory are hidden under the case. Given that the device supports MP3 music, this may well seem to be not enough. In this regard, be sure to come in handy slot for a memory card. The system supports maximum storage capacity of 32 GB. By the way, it is not necessary to listen to MP3 songs. Instead, you can use FM radio by connecting wired headphones to the cell phone. It can please the buyer and a flashlight.

Claims here can only be submitted to the interface. In particular, the system of unlocking the keys is very strangely implemented in this device - for this you need to make as many as three presses.

Fly ff249

Rating: 4.7

Simplified externally mobile phone. This is a traditional candy bar, on the front side of which are located the keyboard and LCD display. All keys are separate, due to which they are easily groped blindly. The screen installed here has a 2.4-inch diagonal and a resolution of 240x320 pixels. This is more than enough to display a large number of lines of text and icons that make up the menu.

If you look at the back cover, here you can see the camera lens. But it is better to forget about this immediately, since the camera resolution is only 0.3 Mp. But the FM radio someone will surely please. However, please note that in order to listen to it you will need to connect wired headphones. If you want to use an MP3 player, then you will not notice such a restriction. By the way, the sound can be output to a Bluetooth-headset, which is most relevant when driving a car.

Otherwise, this is a typical push-button phone, caught in our rating mainly because of the battery, the capacity of which reaches 4000 mAh. There is no doubt that the buyer will be extremely rare to use the charger. Interestingly, the manufacturer did not hide which processor is installed here - this is a single-core MediaTek MT6261, the clock frequency of which is only 260 MHz. This is quite enough for the stable operation of the firmware installed here. And do not believe online shopping - the device has almost no own memory. The microSD card will definitely be needed for the owner of such a device (the 8 GB drive is supported as much as possible).

The best push-button telephones

Alcatel 2051D

Rating: 4.9

Externally simple clamshell. It came into our rating not due to the design, but due to very good characteristics. For example, the product has a good-quality LCD display. Its diagonal is 2.4 inches, and the resolution is 240x320 pixels. At one time, Nokia smartphones operating under Symbian had such a screen. It uses much more ordinary firmware, but its capabilities should be enough for an ordinary user.

Of course, in order to reduce the cost, the creators had to remove the auxiliary screen from the top cover. In this regard, you can not find out the name of the caller to the disclosure of the phone.But the device received a good camera, the resolution of which reaches 2 megapixels. Also, the device is capable of boasting two slots for SIM-cards. Please note that a regular card is inserted into one slot, and a micro-SIM card is inserted into the second. Many more buyers will use a slot for a memory card, which determines the maximum 32-gigabyte drive.

Inside this clamshell is a comfortable keyboard. And somewhere under the case of a push-button telephone is a processor whose clock frequency reaches 312 MHz. Alas, the manufacturer saved on the battery - the capacity of 750 mAh is only enough for one or two days of autonomous operation with moderate use. Like many other devices considered in this rating, the device supports MP3 music playback, as well as FM radio. If such a desire arises, the sound can be output to a wireless headset — the Bluetooth 2.1 standard is used for this purpose.

Top Secure Push-Button Phones

TeXet TM-512R

Rating: 4.9

An increasingly rare mobile phone for sale, which could not but fall into our rating. This device differs from competitors by the presence of a shock-resistant case. Moreover, the gadget can be dropped into fresh water - nothing will happen to it. However, it is not recommended to leave it there for long. However, quickly finding a phone under water is not difficult - they save bright yellow inserts.

The device turned out to be heavy, its weight reaches 168 g. But then such a device is extremely difficult to damage, it will serve its owner for many years. At the same time, the phone will offer to combine the tariffs of different operators, because here there are two slots for SIM-cards. Not forgotten, and the slot for microSD - the maximum firmware will determine the drive capacity of 16 GB. Basically, a memory card is required to listen to MP3 songs. The sound at the same time can be output not only to the built-in speaker, but also to any types of headphones - including wireless ones. Interestingly, the product even has a GPRS module. However, it is very inconvenient to access the Internet using such a button phone, therefore hardly anyone will use this function.

The main disadvantage of this mobile phone is, oddly enough, the screen. With a 2-inch diagonal, it has a resolution of only 220x176 pixels. However, this is quite enough to consider all the most important information. And it should be noted that the display is covered with a protective glass that saves from scratches, and this is a rarity for the modern "button". Also, the teXet TM-512R includes a rear camera, the resolution of which is 2 megapixels. Do not forget the manufacturer and the FM-radio, which can be useful somewhere in nature. But even more strongly in such conditions the capacious battery pleases - buyers confirm that the connection of a network adapter to such a phone is rarely required.

Seals VR7

Rating: 4.8

Another secure phone in our ranking. It has a body that is almost completely painted in bright orange color. The only exceptions are black rubber lining, playing the role of depreciation when the device falls on a hard surface. It should be noted and the fact that the buttons here are also rubber. This means that water will not penetrate through them if the apparatus falls somewhere in the river. This is sure to please travelers. How they will appreciate the presence of GPS-navigation.To complete its work, you will have to get hold of a microSD card, because the maps of the area weigh quite a lot.

The push-button telephone for the traveler is required to work for quite a long time. In this regard, the manufacturer has placed a 1750 mAh battery under the back cover. As stated by the creators of the device, a full charge will be enough for 12 hours of continuous conversation. Interestingly, the device can go online - as much as they support the standard EDGE. Another number of wireless modules includes Bluetooth 2.0.

As you can guess, the device has no problems with playing MP3 songs. Also built-in FM-radio, which may well please at the cottage or anywhere else. As far as the screen is concerned, its quality uses a 2-inch LCD panel. Its resolution is 240x320 pixels, as a result of which the pixel density reaches 200 PPI - not every budget smartphone can boast such a parameter! However, this push-button telephone is much more expensive than the most affordable smartphones - about 10 thousand rubles are asked for it. Very decent money for a gadget with one slot for a SIM-card and a two-megapixel camera.

The best button phones with large screen

Xiaomi Qin1s AI Phone

Rating: 4.9

At the time of writing the rating this mobile phone has not yet gone on sale. However, the company Xiaomi has already managed to officially announce its unusual creation, so there is no doubt that it will soon become another hit of Chinese online stores. The device is significantly different from all the devices discussed above. The fact is that it uses a special firmware Mocor 5 OS, created on the basis of Android. It is also one of the few push-button phones that can boast an IPS-display. This screen has a very good color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. Its diagonal is 2.8 inches, and the resolution is 320x240 pixels.

Under the body of this device is a dual-core processor Spreadtrum SC9820E. It ensures the operation of not only the firmware, but also the GPS chip. Another part of the button phone includes 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of permanent memory. During the announcement, nothing was said about the slot for a microSD memory card. But it would be very strange if he was absent here. But the manufacturer did not forget to mention the support of two SIM-cards. Also, the novelty has wireless modules Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi. This means that in many ways the device is not very different from smartphones, but at the same time it has a convenient physical keyboard. Here, even the infrared port is present, allowing you to control the TV or speaker system! It remains to add that the capacity of the battery installed here is 1480 mAh, and its recharging takes place via the USB Type-C connector.

The problem with the Xiaomi push-button phone is that the Chinese are unlikely to introduce its international version. This means that the firmware may be deprived of Russian. And certainly the Cyrillic alphabet will not appear on the keys of this mobile phone.

Conclusion

As you may have noticed, each instance examined in our selection has certain disadvantages. Unfortunately, it is now customary to save on the production of the “button”, in connection with which all the devices are somehow limited in their capabilities. Nevertheless, we believe that you are unlikely to be seriously disappointed by the purchased phone, if this is a model from our rating. With a few drawbacks, it is quite possible to accept.
