16 Best Handset Phones

Button phones, it seems, will always be in demand. These devices are very reliable – in a normal fall on the pavement, they break very rarely. Also the cell phone is long enough to work on one battery charge, even though its capacity is low. And the button phone is much easier to master for the elderly person who is afraid of touch screen display. The range of “buttons” is now very wide, but at the same time, all these phones are not a household name – the name of one or another model will often not tell you anything. How to choose? For this, we recommend reading our article. It collected the best cell phones among those that are available in the Russian retail. Please note that this selection can also include smartphones – as long as they have a physical numeric or QWERTY-keypad.

Rating of the best button phones

Best inexpensive Handsets

Alcatel One Touch 1020D

Rating: 4.7

One of the simplest phones in our rating. It is also the cheapest – in some stores it can be purchased for only 690 rubles. It is also a rare case, when the button phone is offered in two colors – black and white.

This phone is very small and lightweight. At the same time inside it was found a place for two SIM-cards. The microSD card slot is missing. It is simply not required, because the product does not support MP3-music, not to mention any other media files. However, the owner of this cell phone will still be able to listen to music – through built-in FM-radio. It’s funny that most of the devices in our selection have it.

With such a functional push-button apparatus is quite possible to get a monochrome display. However, the manufacturer still spared no expense on the color screen, the diagonal of which is 1.8 inches, and the resolution – 126×160 pixels. He also implemented a flashlight in his creation. However, actively use it is not recommended, because the capacity of the present battery is only 400 mAh. Strictly speaking, it is the battery is the main drawback of the device – its full charge is enough for only three hours of talk time. So it is not the best choice for a person who is used to big conversations. But in standby mode, the phone is able to hold for a couple of days, in this respect, there are no serious complaints.

Advantages

• Two SIM card slots;
• Built-in flashlight;
• FM radio is present;
• Miniature size;
• The weight is barely 63 g;
• Reasonable price tag for almost everyone.

Disadvantages

• Extremely low battery capacity;
• There is no support for MP3;
• The low resolution of the screen;
• No camera.

QWERTY-keypad phone with Wi-Fi

BlackBerry Q10

Rating: 4.8

In fact, this is a smartphone, not a phone, because it operates a full-fledged operating system BlackBerry OS. However, it could not fail to appear in our rating, because the firmware of the device strongly inferior to Android in terms of opening capabilities, so many people take this device for a traditional cell phone, supplemented by a QWERTY-keyboard. This is a very expensive cell phone, because its price ranges from 13 to 20 thousand roubles. rub. And also it is the phone that has no official warranty – this is due to the fact that the brand BlackBerry is present in the Russian market exclusively on an unofficial basis.

None of the devices in our rating does not have a display with such a high resolution. 720×720 dots – at a modest 3.1-inch diagonal, this leads to a pixel density of 328 PPI. This is a great result, which can not boast, for example, many budget smartphones. I am also pleased with the fact that the screen was created using AMOLED technology. So, the buyer expects the perfect black colors, especially the lack of backlight in the dark. Also this display has low power consumption.

Under the screen is a convenient QWERTY-keyboard. But to control the operating system does not need to use it exclusively – the display is used here touchscreen, in this respect BlackBerry Q10 is no different from all modern smartphones. More on the front side of the button device you can see the front camera. But this device is designed for the business man, so in shooting high-quality selfies this element will not help – the camera is good only in the organization of video communication. By the way, you can talk to the interlocutor through a wired or wireless headset – there is a 3.5-mm audio jack and Bluetooth 4.0. The presence of the NFC-chip looks quite unexpected.

At the back of the device is the lens 8-megapixel camera. It does not grab the stars from the sky, but with it you can shoot video with F

l HD. Quality is far from what smartphone rear cameras are capable of. But if we talk about the representatives of our rating, they do not offer anything like this. And no wonder, because they do not have a dual-core processor with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. Also under the body of this QWERTY-phone is 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory. In short, it is difficult to pick on the device. Customers are missing only a fingerprint scanner – we think that in such an expensive gadget it must be present.

Advantages

• Powerful processor;
• Comfortable QWERTY-keyboard;
• Wonderful AMOLED-display;
• LTE, Wi-Fi, NFC and Bluetooth 4 modules are present.0;
• Not a bad back camera;
• Long battery life;
• There is a slot for microSD;
• A large amount of memory;
• You can install additional applications.

Disadvantages

• There is no fingerprint sensor;
• Only one SIM card slot is built in;
• Many special BlackBerry services no longer work;
• Very high cost.

The Best Classic Keyboard Phones

Nokia 3310 Dual Sim (2017)

Rating: 4.9



In its time, the reincarnation of the Nokia 3310 has caused a strong reaction from both ordinary people and professionals involved in reviews of various electronic equipment. HMD Global has taken the classic model and significantly transformed it, making it more modern. For example, the product of 2017 received a 2.4-inch color screen with a resolution of 320×240 pixels. The text and icons are clearly visible even in the bright sun – not every cell phone can boast with this. And the new version of Nokia 3310 got a two-megapixel camera, which can be used to take a picture of a person to put his face in the contact book. For such pictures are allocated 20 MB of permanent memory. If you want to use the device as an MP3-player, you will have to buy a microSD card.

Such a phone could not help but include FM-radio. However, remember that it only works when you connect your headphones – they will act as an antenna. The product also has a Bluetooth 3.0, used for synchronization with wireless headsets. Also the cell phone offers access to the Internet – for this purpose it uses EDGE technology. A flashlight can please some people.

Perhaps the Nokia 3310 (2017) should suit every buyer. Especially for those who understand that they are buying a cell phone, not a smartphone. In short, the button phone did not get into our rating for nothing. And do not forget that in stores you can find two versions of the device – they differ in the number of SIM-card slots. And do not expect from this device unbreakable – in this respect it differs from the prototype only for the worse.

Advantages

• There is a simple camera;
• Long enough battery life;
• There is a flashlight;
• Not forgotten the slot for the memory card;
• It has an FM-radio;
• Bright coloring of the case;
• Good LCD display;
• It is possible to connect to the Internet.

Disadvantages

• The size may seem too large;
• Not the best speaker;
• The price tag can not be called low;
• There are problems with the text input language.

ps Xenium E331

Rating: 4.8



It is one more cell phone, produced by the Chinese, but already distributed under the Philips brand. This button device also supports the installation of two SIM-cards – a single-sim version of the model simply does not exist. And here, too, there is a Bluetooth-module that can be used to connect a wireless headset.

When you look at the phone it immediately becomes clear that first of all it is designed for elderly people. This is evidenced by the large font used for the numbers on the keys. They will like the small weight of the device, which is no more than 112 grams. They will also appreciate the 2.4-inch display, whose resolution – 320×240 pixels. This screen clearly shows all the lines of the menu, even if a person has problems with eyesight. It is impossible not to note the presence of the MP3-player. Including MP3 music you can put on the call. And there is a FM-radio. What’s interesting, you can activate it even without connecting headphones – the radio has a built-in antenna. This is a rare feature that almost all of the other devices we looked at are lacking.

Otherwise it’s a typical cell phone. The user has 3.8 MB of internal memory, so music and pictures will have to download to the microSD card. By the way, this is best done with the help of a computer. Of course, Philips Xenium E331 also knows how to access the Internet, but it uses a simple GPRS-module – the speed is enough only to download WAP-sites. We also do not recommend the camera – it only has 0.3 megapixel resolution. Glad that nothing bad can be said about the battery – capacity 1600 mAh enough for many hours of battery life. However, the line of Xenium phones is known for continuous operation.

Advantages

• Bluetooth 2.1;
• It is possible to install a memory card;
• Long operating time;
• Low weight;
• There are two slots for SIM cards;
• Excellent LCD display;
• You can listen to MP3-music;
• FM-radio is present, which does not require headphones;
• Comes with a cradle.

Disadvantages

• Bad camera;
• Difficulties with the choice of Russian when writing SMS;
• Inconvenient editing of contacts;
• No flashlight;
• The phone is not cheap.

Alcatel 2008G

Rating: 4.8



One of the most affordable phones in our rating. It costs not more than 1700 rubles in Russian stores, and you can often buy it for much less. This device is very compact, and its weight does not exceed a paltry 90 grams. Inside it there is a place for a Bluetooth-module, which not every button phone receives. But the slot for the SIM-card is installed here in a single instance, and this is the main disadvantage of this device. With which, however, it is quite possible to be reconciled.

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 occupy the keyboard and a 2.4-inch LCD. The resolution of the latter is 320×240 pixels and the pixel density here reaches 167 PPI. In a word, it’s impossible to pick on the screen. As to the camera, whose resolution reaches 2 megapixels. Of course, for video recording this parameter is very small, but the pictures for the contact book this camera provides quite decent.

This cell phone without any problems recognizes MP3-music. It must be contained on a memory card, since the amount of built-in storage available to the user, here is only 5 MB. On the body of the device can be found 3.5 mm audio jack. You can also output the sound on a wireless headset, using the Bluetooth module 3.0. You can also listen to music through the built-in radio, which does not require headphones – the creators have endowed it with its own antenna.

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

Advantages

• Decent battery life;
• The kit includes a cradle;
• The screen has a high resolution;
• Very small weight;
• On the body placed the SOS button;
• The installation of a memory card is available;
• There is a MP3-player;
• There is an FM-radio that does not require headphones;
• There is a Bluetooth module;
• Three colors to choose from.

Disadvantages

• Only one slot for a SIM card;
• Confusing menu (the device is not recommended for the elderly);
• There is no flashlight;
• Not the best conversational speaker.

Nokia 130

Rating: 4.7



Easy enough to learn phone. It was launched at a time when Nokia was owned by Microsoft. It is felt that the manufacturer has had some problems with money, in connection with what the cell phone has received a very weak components. For example, the menu is displayed on a 1.8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of only 160×128 pixels. Already this alone does not give to recommend such purchase to elderly people. Also the economy can be felt by the fact that the device does not have a camera. In general! So, the contact book will be without photos – with an incoming call will be displayed only the name.

You would expect that such a device would not have support for MP3 tunes. However, the manufacturer did not save money in this regard. Moreover, you can output MP3 music to a wireless headset – Bluetooth 3 technology is used for this.0. If you don’t have such an accessory at your disposal, you can do with wired headphones – the 3.5mm audio jack isn’t going anywhere. By the way, their connection will also be needed in case you need to listen to FM-radio.

The cell phone is almost weightless, it is one of the lightest phones in our rating. Also it can not fail to please the availability of at least two color versions of the device – with red and black bodies. And here is one slot for a SIM-card to someone will seem nonsense. However, the phone does not know how to access the Internet, so the combination of two tariffs does not make much sense. The device can also boast the presence of a slot for memory cards – the maximum supported copy of 32 GB. The autonomous work of the phone is provided by the familiar BL-5C battery, the capacity of which is 1020 mAh. The manufacturer promises that it will be enough for 13 hours of continuous talk time.

Advantages

• The weight does not exceed 68 g;
• A decent battery life;
• FM-radio is built in;
• There is support for Bluetooth-headset;
• Playback of MP3 music is possible;
• Two colors are available;
• There is a slot for a memory card;
• In the kit is a simple stereo headset.

Disadvantages

• The screen has a low resolution;
• The volume of the alarm clock does not change;
• There is no camera (it does not apply to all instances);
• No access to the Internet;
• There is only one slot for a SIM-card;
• The organization of the phone book does not seem convenient.

The best button phones with a good camera

LG G360

Rating: 4.9



One of the most expensive handsets in our rating, if we talk only about phones. In Russian retail for the LG G360 are asked approximately 4300 rubles. At the same time offer to buy a device in one of two colors – red and black. The high price is due to the excellent quality of the product – this cell phone will not break in the next year and a half or two years of use. The price was also affected by the form factor. The thing is that it is a clamshell, albeit without the additional display on the top panel.

If you open the device, you can access the 3-inch screen. Its resolution is 320×240 pixels. The things you see on the display can be distinguished even by a visually impaired person, which cannot help but make you happy. However, a person with good eyesight immediately notice the pixelation, and it is not good. It also uses a very large keyboard, which is already a plus.

Under the back cover is the usual for such devices removable battery. Its capacity is 950 mAh, which is quite enough for most users. The phone has two slots for SIM cards. This option is useful if you have both home and office numbers. Someone wants a rear camera. Its resolution is 1.3 megapixel. This is a very good parameter, rarely seen in pushbutton mobiles. Such a camera is a sin not to use to take pictures of people in the contact book. By the way, to save images here are allocated 20 MB of internal memory. If that is not enough, you can always use a memory card up to 16GB. You will have to install it in the case if you want to listen to MP3-music. Sound, by the way, can be output not only on wired, but also on Bluetooth-headphones.

Advantages

• The phone is designed as a cot;
• You can insert a memory card;
• High reliability;
• Decent LCD display;
• There is a good back camera;
• The device has a Bluetooth module 2.1;
• FM-radio is built in;
• There is support for MP3;
• There are two slots for SIM cards;
• Quite a long battery life.

Disadvantages

• High cost;
• There is no external display;
• Uncomfortable section with the SMS-messages.

ps E560

Rating: 4.8



This phone looks quite stylish, although it belongs to the traditional monoblock form factor. Its front panel has room for a keypad, the manufacturer’s logo and a 2.4-inch display. The latter has a resolution of 320×240 pixels, so it fits a lot of icons and menu items. On the back, however, you can find a fairly large lens that belongs to the two-megapixel camera. It can create a good picture, and if you want it can be used to record a movie (but a pretty crappy quality). Moreover, the camera is equipped with an LED flash, and this is a rarity for a modern button phone.

Of course, such an expensive push-button device could not do without the support of MP3-music. You should download it to the memory card – at most the mobile is able to recognize the drive with a capacity of 32 GB. The phone cannot access the Internet by itself, so you will need a computer, tablet or smartphone to download songs. Sound can be output to either headphones or a Bluetooth headset. Or use the built-in speaker, which is also used for hands-free talking.

The device is very decent. It is definitely worth its money. Some may not like the fact that there is only one color – only black. But the device has two slots for SIM cards. In terms of weight, it is 138 grams – very good for a modern “button”.

Advantages

• There is a slot for a memory card;
• High reliability;
• A good rear camera, complete with flash;
• The battery capacity reaches 3100 mAh;
• Very good LCD display;
• Support for MP3-music;
• There is an FM-radio;
• You can insert two SIM cards;
• There is a Bluetooth.

Disadvantages

• The cost can not be called low;
• No access to the Internet;
• The device is heavy.

BQ BQ-3201 Option

Rating: 4.7



This cell phone immediately draws attention. Many consumers are attracted by the LCD display, the diagonal of which reaches 3.2 inches. Screen resolution – 240×320 pixels, pixelation is not striking to the eye. Under the screen there is a place for numerous keys, which are used to dial a number and control in the menu. If we take a look at the rear panel, then here stands out a fairly large lens. Underneath it hides a sensor, which has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. If the task is to take a picture of a person for the contact book then the camera is sure to cope with it. But not in the dark, because the flash of this phone is not allocated.

The device is distributed in two color variants. Like most mobiles available today, it supports a pair of SIM cards. There is also a slot for a memory card, which must not exceed 16GB. Basically the storage device is needed for MP3 music listening, because there is no sense to upload such melodies to the built-in memory – 30 Mb will be enough only for a couple of tracks. By the way, the user can listen to and FM-radio. Moreover, the phone has a TV tuner! But only an analog. When our country fully switched to a digital format DVB-T2, this option will be useless.

It should be noted that this mobile does not know how to access the Internet. And in our rating it got not only because of the camera and screen, but also due to a very high-capacity battery. In short, the device is definitely worth its two thousand rubles. Unless you’re willing to put up with the fact that some people will hear your conversation. The fact that the device does not have a front speaker. That is, during the conversation works the rear speaker, just at low volume.

Advantages

• The camera is not bad, though without a flash;
• There is Bluetooth;
• Adequate price tag;
• The weight does not exceed 116 grams;
• The socket for microSD is not forgotten;
• You can install two SIM cards;
• There is FM radio and TV tuner;
• A very decent LCD display;
• Two body colors to choose from;
• Battery capacity is 1750 mAh.

Disadvantages

• You can not go online;
• Talking on the rear speaker.

The best cell phones with powerful battery

hi

ps Xenium E570

Rating: 4.9



It was Philips at one time began to equip their phones with a high-capacity battery. Since then, the rights to the brand acquired the Chinese, but the situation has not changed – many cell phones from the Xenium series still receive a high-capacity battery. For example, the Philips Xenium E570 has a battery capacity of 3160 mAh. With it even with regular calls you will need to use the charger only once every few days or even once a week.

But the device is unique not only for its battery. The manufacturer has given its creation built-in memory of 133 MB. If you do not want to turn your phone into an MP3-player, you certainly do not need a microSD card. By the way, you can listen to music here, including through Bluetooth-headphones. There is an FM-radio, but to activate it you will need wired headphones – they will act as an antenna.

The picture here is displayed on a 2.8-inch display with a resolution of 240×320 pixels. We can say that this is the standard for a modern “button”. You should also be happy to buy a flashlight that can be useful in a dark staircase or anywhere else. Also noteworthy is the presence of two SIM card slots. Well, you can complain about the weight – the device is quite heavy.

Advantages

SENSEIT L208

Rating: 4.8



Another key phone in our rating, the screen resolution is 240×320 pixels. With a 2.4 inch diagonal, this is quite an adequate parameter, allowing the firmware to display a large number of icons. But in our selection of the button device got 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 a day and a half in a row.

Only one color variant of the device is on sale. As befits a modern cell phone, SENSEIT L208 has two slots for SIM cards. The weight of the device is 120 g. Under the hull hides 30 MB of permanent memory. Taking into account that the device supports MP3 music, this may well seem insufficient. In this regard, a slot for a memory card will definitely come in handy. The system supports 32 GB of storage space maximum. By the way, it is not necessary to listen to MP3 songs. Instead you can use the FM-radio by connecting a wired headset to your cell phone. The flashlight can please the buyer.

The complaints here can only be presented to the interface. In particular, this device has a very strange system of unlocking the keys – for this you need to make as many as three taps.

Advantages

• Very high capacity battery;
• There is a slot for a memory card;
• There is a Bluetooth 3.0;

Fly FF249

Rating: 4.7



The cell phone simplified in appearance. This is a traditional monoblock, the front side of which is a keyboard and LCD screen. All of the keys are separate, due to what they are easily fumbled blind. The screen that is installed here has a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 240×320 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, you can see the camera lens. But it is better to forget about it at once, because the camera resolution is only 0.3 megapixels. But FM-radio will please someone. However, please note that in order to listen to it you will need to connect wired headphones. If you want to use the MP3 player, then you will not notice this limitation. By the way, the sound can be output to a Bluetooth headset, which is most relevant when driving.

Otherwise, this is a typical button phone, which got into our rating mainly because of the battery, the capacity of which reaches 4000 mAh. You can not doubt that the use of the charger the buyer will be very rare. Interestingly, the manufacturer has not concealed the processor installed here – it is a single-core MediaTek MT6261, clock speed is only 260 MHz. This is quite enough for the stable operation of the firmware installed here. And do not believe the online stores – the unit practically has no memory of its own. The owner of such a device is sure to need a microSD card (maximum supported 8-gigabyte drive).

Advantages

• There are two slots for SIM cards;
• Quite a long battery life;
• Adequate price;

The best clamshell phones

Alcatel 2051D

Rating: 4.9



The simple looking clamshell. We didn’t put it in our rating because of its design, but because of its rather good specifications. For example, the product has a good-looking LCD screen. Its diagonal is 2.4 inches and the resolution is 240×320 pixels. Once had a similar screen smartphones Nokia, functioning under the Symbian. Here is used a much more conventional firmware, but its capabilities for the average user should suffice.

Of course, in order to reduce the cost creators had to remove the upper cover auxiliary screen. In this regard, you can not know the name of the caller before unlocking the phone. But the device has a good camera, whose resolution reaches 2 megapixels. The device also boasts two slots for SIM cards. Note that one slot is inserted a regular card, and the second – micro-SIM. Many buyers will also be using a memory card slot, maximum defining 32-gigabyte drive.

Inside this cot is a handy keypad. And somewhere under the body of the phone is a processor, clock speed up to 312 MHz. Alas, but the manufacturer has spared on the battery – capacity 750 mAh enough only for one or two days of battery life in moderate use. Like many other devices considered in this rating, the device supports MP3-music playback, as he is not lacking and FM-radio. If you have such a desire, the sound can be output to a wireless headset – for this purpose uses the standard Bluetooth 2.1.

Advantages

TeXet TM-512R

Rating: 4.9



A cell phone that is rarely seen on the market, which could not fail to be included in our rating. This unit differs from competitors with the presence of shockproof housing. Moreover, the gadget can be dropped in fresh water – nothing will happen to it. However, it is not recommended to leave it there for a long time. However, it is not difficult to find phone under water – bright yellow inserts save.

The device turned out to be quite heavy, its weight reaches 168 g. But 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 there are two slots for SIM-cards. The microSD slot has not been forgotten either – the firmware will define a 16GB slot at most. Mostly you need a memory card to listen to MP3-songs. The sound can be outputted not only to the built-in speaker, but also to any types of headphones, including wireless headphones. It is interesting that the product even has a GPRS-module. However, to go online with such a pushbutton phone is very uncomfortable, so it is unlikely that anyone will use this feature.

The main drawback of this cell phone is, oddly enough, the screen. With a 2-inch diagonal, it has a resolution of only 220×176 pixels. However, it is quite enough to see all the most important information. And it is impossible not to mention that the display is covered with protective glass, saving from scratches, and it’s a rarity for the modern “button. TeXet TM-512R also includes a rear camera, whose resolution is 2 megapixels. The manufacturer has not forgotten about the FM-radio, which can be useful somewhere in nature.

Seals VR7

Rating: 4.8



Another rugged phone in our ranking. It has a body, which is almost entirely painted in bright orange. The only exception is the black rubber pads, which perform the role of cushioning when the device falls on a hard surface. Not to mention the fact that the buttons here are also rubber. This means that they definitely won’t let water in if it falls somewhere in the river. This is sure to please travelers. As on merits they will appreciate and the presence here GPS-navigation. For its full functionality you will have to get rid of the microSD card, because the maps of the area weigh quite a lot.

The traveler’s phone has to work for quite a long time. In this regard, the manufacturer has placed under the back cover battery capacity of 1750 mAh. The creators of the device claim that a full charge is enough for 12 hours of continuous conversation. Interestingly, the device can access the Internet – it supports EDGE standard at most. More wireless modules include Bluetooth 2.0.

As you can easily guess, the device has no problems with playing MP3-songs. It also has an FM radio, which can be very useful in the country or anywhere else. Well, as for the screen, then in its quality here uses a 2-inch LCD panel. Its resolution is 240×320 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 200 PPI – not every budget smartphone can boast of such parameters! However, this phone is a pushbutton much more expensive than the most affordable smartphones – for him to ask about 10 thousand. rubles.

• There is a GPS, digital compass and Bluetooth;
• There is support for EDGE networks;
• You can install a memory card (up to 8 GB);

The best phones with a big screen

Xiaomi Qin1s AI Phone

Rating: 4.9



At the time of writing this rating this cell phone has not yet gone on sale. However, the company Xiaomi has already officially announced its unusual creation, so you can not doubt that it will soon become another hit of Chinese online stores. The device is significantly different from all the devices reviewed above. The fact that it uses a special firmware Mocor 5 OS, based on Android. Also this is one of the few 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 resolution is 320×240 pixels.

Under the body of this unit is located dual-core processor Spreadtrum SC9820E. It provides work not only the firmware, but also the GPS-chip. The button phone also has 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of permanent memory. At the time of the announcement nothing was said about the microSD card slot. But it would be very strange if it was absent here. But the manufacturer did not forget to mention support for two SIM cards. Also, the novelty has wireless modules Bluetooth 4.2 and Wi-Fi. This means that in many ways the device almost does not differ from smartphones, but it has a convenient physical keyboard. It even has an IR port, allowing you to control the TV or a speaker system! It remains to add that the capacity of the battery installed here is 1480 mAh, and its charging is done through a USB Type-C connector.

The problem with the button phone from Xiaomi is that the Chinese are unlikely to present its international version. This means that the firmware can be deprived of the Russian language. And certainly the Cyrillic alphabet will not appear on the keys of the cell phone.

Advantages

• USB Type-C connector is used;
• Remarkable display created by IPS technology;
• There are two slots for SIM cards;
• The firmware has a lot of useful applications;
• There is a powerful processor;
• Can act as a remote control for TV;
• GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules are built in;
• There is high-speed Internet access;
• Long battery life.

Disadvantages

• Designed, most likely, only for the Chinese market.

Conclusion

As you may have noticed, every device considered in our selection has certain disadvantages.

Nevertheless, we think that you are unlikely to be seriously disappointed with the phone you buy if it is a model from our ranking. With a few disadvantages can be quite put up with.
