In any cell phone store you will find not only smartphones, but also ordinary push-button phones. It is the worthy representatives of 2017 that will be discussed in this selection.
Why are push-button phones still relevant?
Why do feature cell phones continue to exist? After all, it is known that their production, if it brings companies profit, is minimal. Why didn't they all concentrate on creating smartphones? There are several reasons for this:
- Many people buy a mobile phone as a backup means of communication;
- Many older people choose the “button” because they are simply not used to touchscreen smartphones;
- Most often, push-button phones are bought for young children - they don’t mind losing or breaking such a device;
- Push-button mobile phones are bought by employees of sensitive facilities where the use of devices with a built-in camera is prohibited.
In short, the demand for such mobile telephones still remains. In this regard, the proposal is not going anywhere. In this article we will look at the best push-button mobile phones that are available to Russian buyers. In this case, we will talk about devices released, if not in 2017, then shortly before that. In a word - new items. Here you will not find descriptions of phones manufactured ten years ago and available for purchase only in “pawn shops” and on Avito (although exceptions to this rule are possible).
LG G360
At one time, LG feature phones were a huge success. Especially models in a folding form factor. Surprisingly, the South Koreans continue to produce similar ones to this day, albeit in a greatly simplified form. For example, even now the LG G360 model can boast of a certain demand. This device does not have an additional display, but this is perhaps its only drawback.
It is possible to control the phone's functions using a 3-inch display. Its resolution is 240 × 320 pixels, which is enough to clearly display all menu items. The built-in speaker can play MP3 music, but you will have to store it on a memory card. The keyboard of this device has fairly large buttons and a clearly legible font. There was even a place for special keys on it. One of them is responsible for the SOS function, raising an alarm and sending an emergency message to selected contacts. The other is designed to launch the camera. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixels, which is enough to take pictures that will then go into the contact book.
In general, the device suits its customers quite well. It contains FM radio - the main attribute of push-button phones. But most of all, the device pleases with its capacious battery. LG G360 owners touch the charger extremely rarely - about once every week and a half.
Advantages:
- Nice form factor;
- Relatively good camera;
- Nice and large display;
- You can insert two SIM cards;
- Comfortable keyboard with additional buttons;
- There is an SOS function;
- Very long battery life.
Flaws:
- Very little built-in memory;
- No additional screen;
- Heavy weight (125 g).
Nokia 3310 (2017)
A kind of remake of the Nokia 3310 became a real hit at the spring 2017 exhibitions. HMD Global has modernized the appearance of the famous mobile phone. But after this, the software base received significant simplifications, which somewhat disappointed the first buyers. However, the device is unlikely to cause negative emotions in you if you do not expect firmware based on the Series 40 from it, which would offer rich functionality. Unfortunately, its installation is impossible due to the fact that the corresponding rights are held by Microsoft.
So, what can the Nokia 3310 (2017) mobile phone boast of? It has a decent 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240 × 320 pixels. The information on this display is clearly visible in any conditions, including under bright sunlight. The device also turned out to be compact and lightweight - this also suits many buyers. There is nothing bad to say about the camera. Yes, its resolution is only 2 megapixels. But can you expect anything more from a modern push-button telephone? FM radio has not disappeared, which is also important.
You can connect a wireless headset to this mobile phone. Communication is provided by Bluetooth 3.0 - the signal is stable, and it does not consume too much energy. In general, this is precisely the main advantage of the Nokia 3310 (2017). Although the device still lags behind the original in this regard.
Advantages:
- A high-capacity battery is used;
- The set includes a wired headset;
- High quality LCD display;
- There is a Bluetooth 3.0 module;
- Relatively good camera;
- Light weight and compact dimensions.
Flaws:
- The software has been greatly simplified;
- There is practically no memory of its own (only 16 MB);
- Not the best quality speaker;
- Very high cost.
Runbo X1
Rugged mobile phones are a separate market. The leadership on it is held by several companies, the names of which will mean nothing to most people. Among them is the Chinese brand Runbo. Under it, devices are produced that are equipped with a literally indestructible body. And Runbo X1 also boasts a built-in walkie-talkie. To use it, you will need to connect an external antenna. The power of the 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 a charger, but also headphones. The device is powered by a 1000 mAh battery. Its full charge lasts for approximately 5 hours of talk time. Or 35 hours of listening to music. However, it will have to be stored on a memory card, since the built-in storage has only 32 MB of capacity.
The main feature of Fly TS113 is the presence three SIM card slots at once. Otherwise, this is a typical push-button mobile phone. The picture is displayed on a 2.8-inch screen created using TN technology and having a resolution of 240 × 320 pixels. The device turned out to be extremely light - its weight does not exceed 97 g. The camera is built in here more for beauty than for purpose, since its resolution is only 0.3 megapixels.
The most important thing is that the firmware of this phone works without lag. You can access any section of the menu as quickly as possible. Such high-speed operation of the software is ensured by a processor whose clock frequency reaches 312 MHz. By the way, the phone is also different in that you can insert a memory card with a capacity of up to 16 GB - you can imagine how many songs you can record on it.
Advantages:
- Low cost;
- Up to three SIM cards can be inserted;
- Minimum weight;
- Good display;
- Decent battery life;
- There is a flashlight.
Flaws:
- It’s better not to think about the camera;
- Each contact can only contain one number;
- Not the best sound.
Micromax X507
If you urgently need a push-button mobile phone, and only have a 1000 ruble bill in your pocket, then you will have to purchase a Micromax X507. This is one of the cheapest devices in our selection. You shouldn't expect serious characteristics from it. The device can be praised for its capacious battery and 97-gram weight. You should also be pleased with the presence of two slots for SIM cards, which will allow you to combine tariffs from different operators. Otherwise, this is a typical “dialer”. Which, by the way, was released in February 2017.
What can cause a buyer some disappointment? Firstly, the phone has a useless camera built into it, the resolution of which is 0.1 megapixels. Where did the Indian manufacturer even dig up such an archaic module? Secondly, the mobile phone uses a 1.77-inch display with a resolution of 128 × 160 pixels. Need I say that a lot of text won’t fit on such a screen? The firmware cannot be called fast either - at some points the processor with a clock frequency of 208 MHz experiences problems. The software generally seems a little underdeveloped - most noticeably in the contact book, where searches are only possible in lowercase letters.
Advantages:
- There is a flashlight;
- Very light weight;
- Minimum price tag;
- You can insert two SIM cards;
- Memory cards up to 32 GB are supported;
- Decent operating time.
Flaws:
- Disgusting camera;
- Low resolution of the installed display;
- Poor speaker quality.
Nokia 130
Our rating could not do without the cheapest dialer from Nokia. This device will not offer any advanced features. It will not provide you with a very high resolution camera. But the device will work stably. And, importantly, for a long time! It uses a 1020 mAh battery, which is enough for 13 hours of talk time. And in music listening mode, the charge will run out only after 46 hours!
The manufacturer has implemented the simplest firmware here. In this regard, you will have to forget about accessing the global web and installing additional applications. The only thing the creators have not forgotten is support for MP3 songs, which will be stored on a memory card. Without it, only FM radio will be available for entertainment. Interestingly, the phone does not have a camera at all. This means that the device can be used at sensitive sites where photography is prohibited.
The mobile phone has a 1.8-inch display. Its resolution is very small - only 128 × 160 pixels. But the third version of Bluetooth can please you - this wireless module standard will provide stable communication with the headset. Another undoubted advantage of the device is its miniscule weight - it barely reaches 68 g. It should be noted that two versions of the Nokia 130 are on sale. They differ in the number of SIM card slots.
Advantages:
- Minimum weight;
- There is a version with support for two SIM cards;
- Stable functioning firmware;
- Very long operating time from a full charge;
- Optimal price tag.
Flaws:
- There is no camera;
- There is no Internet access;
- Modest LCD display;
- Not everyone will like the appearance;
- There is practically no built-in memory at all.
Summarizing
This completes the list of the best push-button mobile phones. Unfortunately, by 2017, most manufacturers left this market, and the remaining ones began to significantly simplify their devices. That is why the rating turned out to be poor for advanced mobile phones, which would be in no way inferior to their relatives from the mid-2000s.
Do you use a push-button device? Or have you switched to a smartphone quite a long time ago? Tell us about it in the comments!
Navigation:
In the modern world, people carefully select their gadgets. The technology market is oversaturated, and anyone can find a device to suit their own needs. In the selection below we have compiled something like ranking of the best push-button mobile phones 2018 - 2017, which are freely available in Russia. We did not break down the rating into models with cameras or two SIM cards, because all the models presented here are worthy of attention and meet all modern requirements.
You can look for push-button phones for several reasons, for example, for pensioners. Older people find it difficult to use the touch screen, and most of the options on a touch phone are of no use to them. The buttons are convenient for people with vision problems; our list includes models created specifically for visually impaired people. Their low price makes them popular with parents who do not want to lose contact with their child, but are not yet ready to buy him a smartphone, otherwise their child will constantly hang out on the Internet and chat with friends instead of studying. The low price makes push-button phones affordable and in demand. Some of these models I would gladly buy myself. Let's move on to our impromptu rating and look at all the presented models. All models are listed in order, from the most expensive to the cheapest options.

Classic mobile phones evoke so much affection and pleasant memories. Now everyone has smartphones with a standard design, a large screen covering the entire surface of the body. And we used to brag to each other about our handset's design, screen size and clarity. Sent SMS and transmitted a picture via infrared. Times change, but classics never go out of style. The ranking of the best push-button phones includes a representative of the legendary brand, Nokia 222 Dual SIM. A device with two SIM cards, a modern operating system and capabilities. The manufacturer decided that a cheap phone should not have restrictions, so the handset has the ability to access the Internet, exchange photos and video chat with friends on Skype. You can post messages from this device to social networks Twitter and Facebook. It even has its own messenger, through which you can communicate with friends.
Access to the Internet occurs through the Opera mini mobile browser. To quickly find information, just select the corresponding icon on the screen. But the Nokia 222 Dual SIM has a significant disadvantage: you cannot install additional programs on it. You will only have to use those plugins that are already installed on your phone.
The beautiful design of the case is pleasing to the eye, the glossy black and white finish will appeal to both boys and girls. Nokia 222 Dual SIM is the best feature phone also because it is made with high quality, despite its affordable price. The buttons press smoothly and do not become loose over time. Based on the reviews, I concluded that the mobile phone has a minus that can alienate buyers among young people. Since you cannot install additional programs on it, you cannot install Whatsapp and other third-party messengers on it.

The dual screen allows you to see message notifications, incoming call information, and also control the time without turning on the display backlight. Nostalgia is the most powerful motivator to make a stupid purchase. Stupid, because in terms of technical characteristics and capabilities, Qumo Push 243 Clamshell is inferior to its competitors.

- SIM card: regular

In the ranking of the best push-button phones, Qumo Push 231 takes an honorable sixth place. One of the reasons for such a low position is its purposeful creation. The manufacturer targets the mobile phone at older people or people with low vision. Simply put, for those for whom the telephone is a means of communication and nothing more. The overall dimensions and rounded shape of the case sit nicely in the hand. The huge rubberized buttons are easy to press, the color display is narrow, but it displays all the information in a wide font. An ideal gift for mom or grandma to always stay in touch with them.
What experts say about Qumo Push 231. The phone can help out the elderly and people who cannot boast of sharp eyesight. The fact that the mobile phone is intended for pensioners is indicated by an additional SOS button, which can be programmed to call an ambulance or the number of a loved one who can come to the rescue.

- Resolution (pixel): 220x176
- Camera (MP): 0.3
- SIM card: regular
- Number of SIM cards: 2
- Battery (mAh): 1000
- Weight (g): 92
The Ginzzu R4 DUAL cell phone was created according to one principle: to release to the market a reliable mobile phone that is difficult to spoil, and which even a pensioner can use. The combination of black and white colors in the case makes it stylish. The rounded shape allows you to hold the handset comfortably, the buttons are soft and pleasant to the touch, there are no unnecessary gaps, and the build quality is the highest. The best feature phone must meet several criteria. Quality, inexpensive price, clear and modern interface, durability, reliability. Ginzzu R4 DUAL meets all these qualities. The body is built from special dirt-repellent materials and is not afraid of water. We are not talking about an accidental rainfall, but about a serious impact. According to the manufacturer, the mobile phone continues to work for another 30 minutes when immersed in water to a depth of one meter.
An optional FM radio lets you listen to your favorite radio station anywhere. I think that Ginzzu R4 DUAL is an excellent gift for parents or grandparents, as well as for a person who already has a modern smartphone, but needs a reliable device to constantly stay in touch. With this design, an inexpensive phone is not embarrassing to put on the table or show at business negotiations.

Qumo Push 246 Clamshell
- Price: 2,690 rub.
- Diagonal (inch): 2.4
- Resolution (pix): 320x240
- Camera (MP): 0.1
- Built-in memory (MB): 32
- SIM card: regular
- Number of SIM cards: 2
- Battery (mAh): 800
- Weight (g): 63
Lightweight, stylish, compact Qumo Push 246 Clamshell phone, another “clamshell” in our rating. Unlike the model presented above, it does not have an external display, but it will delight you with FM radio and the ability to play MP3 and MP4 files. True, the built-in memory is not enough to download an album of your favorite artist, but there is an opportunity to listen to a couple of songs. The best feature phone Qumo Push 246 Clamshell flaunts a glossy finish with a neat camera on the top cover. The powerful speaker gives good sound. A powerful battery will allow you to forget about charging the handset for two weeks.
Pros: good value for money, stylish design, bright display and clear interface. Of the minuses: lack of modern functionality. You can purchase such a device only for practical reasons. For example, in order to constantly be in touch or for parents. I would buy the Qumo Push 246 Clamshell for a child, particularly a girl. She will be able to listen to the radio on it, chat with friends and at the same time will not be distracted by games or the Internet. Even if a child loses the phone, it’s okay; the price of 2,690 rubles won’t let you get too upset. Based on the reviews, I realized that you shouldn’t look for something ultra-modern in the Qumo Push 246 Clamshell. It copes perfectly with the main task of the phone, the large buttons are easy to press.
Nokia 108
- Price: 2,390 rub.
- Diagonal (inch): 1.8
- Resolution (pixel): 160x128
- Camera (MP): 0.3
- SIM card: regular
- Number of SIM cards: 2
- Battery (mAh): 950
- Talk time (h): 13.8
- Weight (g): 69.9
Nokia 108 is not just the best feature phone of 2017, it is also one of the few classic cell phone models that is aimed at a young audience. As a rule, such mobile phones are aimed at older people who do not need a stylish gadget, but a very ordinary phone. Nokia 108 was able to do the impossible. For a price of 2,390 rubles, you get a full-fledged player with FM radio. A powerful battery will allow the mobile phone to operate in standby mode for up to 27 days and talk time for up to 14 hours. The memory can be increased up to 32 GB, allowing you to download hundreds of your favorite songs.
The design of the case is simple, with a choice of several colors, black, white and red. Large rubberized buttons are comfortable to press and do not wobble, as on the cheapest models. From a functional point of view, there are complaints, but they can hardly be called justified regarding a phone for 2,390 rubles. But the body style is solid; holding the handset in your hand or flashing it during business negotiations, you won’t lose face. Based on customer reviews, I concluded that this is a standard work phone, I made a call or answered a call, the audibility is good, but all other functionality is weak. Even the display glares in the sun so much that it is impossible to read anything.
Qumo Push 220 QWERTY
- Price: 2,290 rub.
- Diagonal (inch): 2.2
- Resolution (pixel): 220x176
- Camera (MP): 2
- Built-in memory (MB): 32
- SIM card: regular
- Number of SIM cards: 2
- Battery (mAh): 800

BlackBerry Q10 mobile phone
BlackBerry Q10 is one of the best feature phones that has no competitors. The device is suitable for people who still remain faithful to the physical keyboard and do not like touch devices.
- Design and equipment. The appearance of the BlackBerry Q10 model turned out to be quite typical for models of this brand, thanks to which the device can be recognized among hundreds of others. Half of the body is dedicated to the screen, and the second part houses the physical keyboard. High-quality materials were used for production, so the phone fits perfectly in your hand. There are no creaks, backlashes or other defects. Like most of its models, BlackBerry offers the mobile phone in black and white colors. The engineers decided to install a power button on the top end of the gadget. There is also a 3.5 mm jack for connecting headphones or a headset. It is quite pleasant to the touch and of high quality. The left side has an HDMI connector, which is an unusual and rare occurrence for push-button phones.

- Performance BlackBerry Q10 depends on which modification was chosen. The company offers two versions: the first is equipped with a dual-core OMAP 4470 processor, and on board the second version is the MSM8960 from the internationally recognized manufacturer Qualcomm. There are no problems with the speed of the phone or loading the interface. Everything here happens quite quickly and smoothly, but it is not as fast as flagship smartphones.

However, for the Q10 model they decided to make an exception and equipped it with a high-quality 8-megapixel camera, which has a simple and uncomplicated interface. The flash can work in automatic mode, but there is no automatic focus. The resulting images on the phone screen look quite boring and simple, but if you transfer them to a PC, the quality is quite decent for a mobile phone in this segment. As for video recording, the default setting on the BlackBerry Q10 is 720p, but if desired, the user can set it to 1080p.
- Autonomy. One of the brand's features is that its mobile phones can work for a long time. The engineers decided to equip the device with a 2100 mAh lithium-ion battery, which, according to the developers, provides 310 hours of standby time and about 10 hours of talk time.
- Keyboard. It is the presence of a physical keyboard that makes the BlackBerry Q10 one of the heroes of the review. The letters are arranged in 4 rows of keys, pressing is quite simple and easy. It will take a week to get used to the keyboard, after which you will be able to touch-type without any problems. The only major drawback is that you can only print after selecting a field by clicking on a specific location on the screen.

- Design and equipment. The design of the Samsung Metro B350E looks quite stylish, even though the model is very similar to devices from other manufacturers. Rounded corners and soft edges make the mobile phone look a little more modern and less rough. Thanks to a thoughtful design solution, the phone creates the impression of a highly functional device.

- Display. The device received a fairly good 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. This is an excellent result for devices from a similar price segment.

The only drawback of the Samsung Metro B350E is the fact that in bright sunlight the screen fades and it becomes almost impossible to read anything on it.
- Hardware characteristics and interface. The mobile phone supports only second generation networks, but for such a price no one expected more from it. The built-in memory is only 32 MB, so you will have to buy additional MicroSD memory cards. Judging by the interface, the developers did everything possible to make the unit look like a smartphone. Several working screens and the presence of quick buttons greatly simplify the work process. The creators have equipped the phone with a large number of built-in applications written in Java. On the first level alone you can count about 30 icons, which is truly impressive for phones of this level.
- Multimedia. The multimedia capabilities of the Samsung Metro B350E are not very extensive. The phone is equipped with a 2-megapixel camera that allows you to take pictures in a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. When shooting video, things are a little worse: the maximum quality here is 320x240 pixels.

The built-in audio player is also packed with features. You can listen to music not only individually, but also in groups or by creating playlists. The sound quality in the headset is quite decent.
- Autonomy. A 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery is enough for a week to use the gadget. In standby mode, the phone can work for about 800 hours, which is an excellent indicator even for push-button devices.

This design allowed the developers to make the buttons larger, which greatly simplifies the use of the gadget. No sticking is observed during operation. The equipment is as follows: phone, charger, documentation.
- Display. The LG G360 boasts a 3-inch screen that is large enough for a feature phone. With a resolution of 320x240 pixels, the image seems very high quality and rich. The brightness is also sufficient for working outdoors in sunny weather.
- Performance. The built-in memory is only 20 MB, so you can’t do without installing additional media when using the LG G360. 250 MB of RAM is enough to solve all problems.
- Multimedia. The mobile phone from the Korean concern received only the main camera, which is located on the back cover. The 1.3-megapixel unit produces good pictures, even taking into account the absence of a flash. The radio module can work both with and without a headset, and the built-in player only reads MP3 format.
- Autonomy The LG G360 is backed by a 950 mAh battery. With active use, the phone will not have to be charged for about a week.

Continuing the conversation about appearance, we can highlight the minimal thickness and high-quality assembly. The screen allows you to watch videos, and the audio player allows you to listen to your favorite music tracks.
