Today, most of the phone market is made up of touchscreen devices. However, push-button counterparts have their fans. They are preferred for long battery life, ease of use and low cost. Naturally, advanced technologies are not used for the production of push-button telephones, and the cameras in them are much worse than in smartphones with a touch screen. But thanks to such advantages as battery life, small size and reliability, they continue to be in demand among consumers. Over time, push-button phones have become a niche product, but most business or undemanding people still prefer them.
Every day the number of models in the segment is decreasing. However, even in the available variety it can be easy to get confused. In this rating, the top of the most popular push-button devices will be presented, taking into account their parameters.
The best classic push-button phones
Assessment (2018): 4.6
Advantages: Weighs only 70g and is the lightest
Manufacturer country: China
Quite recently, it seemed that the collapse of this Finnish company was inevitable in the near future. However, it continues to produce some of the finest push-button monoblocs on the market today. The company's specialists tried to use a multi-purpose approach in the development of each individual part. They managed to fit a 1.8-inch display and split keyboard into a housing that is only 110mm high. Based on user reviews, it is comfortable to press the keys even when wearing gloves.
The device weighs only 70 g, which makes it the lightest among the representatives of this rating. Provides a 3.5 mm headphone jack and flash cards up to 32 GB. As for the volume of external storage, this model is also the best, since most devices of a similar type support microSD cards with a capacity of no more than 16 GB. Only its presence speaks in favor of a camera with a resolution of 0.3 megapixels. Although it is unlikely that anyone will pay attention to this parameter given the cost of the phone, which is only $ 25.
Summing up, we can safely say that the phone fully justifies its price. It is very difficult to find any flaws in it.
Assessment (2018): 4.5
Advantages: Build quality is top notch
Manufacturer country: South Korea
The South Korean company tries to present its products in almost every segment. Push-button phones are no exception. This model allows the user to use two SIM cards, but alternately. It is also worth highlighting the attractive design and high quality of the case. For its production, a minimum of glossy plastic was used. When the phone falls into your hands, you get the feeling that you are holding a real monolith. Phones with removable back covers rarely evoke such feelings.
The diagonal of the screen is 2 inches. The vast majority of competitors have slightly smaller displays. The phone is designed with a 3.5 mm jack. Support for MP3 files allows you to use it as a player. A microSD slot is provided for expanding memory. Cards up to 16 GB are supported. Another advantage of the SM-B310E is its rather long battery life. The developers talk about 40 hours without recharging in player mode. If the phone is in standby mode, the phone can last about a week on a single charge. On the territory of Russia SM-B310E can be bought for 1,700 rubles.
Assessment (2018): 4.4
Advantages: Powerful speaker and the best price
Manufacturer country: China
The third place goes to the development of the Chinese company Micromax. The parameters of the phone are practically the same as those of competitors in the same price segment. True, the build quality and materials used for the production leaves much to be desired. The undoubted advantage is the overall dimensions, which are 44x105 mm. It is the smallest dual SIM push-button phone. The diagonal of the screen is 1.77 inches. For such a small case size, this is a very impressive figure.
This model does not have a vibrating alert function. Therefore, while walking along the street, users will have to rely only on their ears. The speaker volume is very high and outperforms most modern devices in this parameter. The phone is also equipped with a camera. The resolution of the resulting images is only 0.1 megapixels. With such indicators, it was possible to completely abandon the camera and make the battery more capacious.
But the main advantage of the X1800 Joy is its price, which on average is only 740 rubles. This phone is the cheapest among all the devices that will be presented below.
TOP push-button clamshell phones
This type of phones, the peak of production of which fell on the last decade, were positioned as fashion devices. The PR campaign of the Razor model, carried out at that time, raised the number of sales of phones of this form factor several times. Over time, the popularity of such devices has gradually declined. But even today there are people who buy clamshells because of their convenience and compactness. Some models have an additional screen that displays the time and date. When there is an incoming call, it displays the number and name of the subscriber. True, today it is very difficult to find phones with such an option.
Assessment (2018): 4.6
Advantages: Great camera
Manufacturer country: China
| Dignity | Flaws |

|
This phone rightfully takes the first place in the rating of clamshell phones. Its price is about the same as that of its competitors (about 2,500 rubles), but the camera is much better. It is capable of taking pictures with a resolution of 3 megapixels. For social networks, such a picture is unlikely to work. However, this phone has one of the best matrices. The device is also competitive due to its compact dimensions (54x107x14 mm). Pay particular attention to the thickness when closed. The weight of the device (98 g) is also striking. The screen has a diagonal of 2.8 inches. For such overall dimensions of the case, this is quite a lot. Bluetooth 3.0 support allows you to use a wireless headset. A 3.5 mm jack is provided for standard headphones. The device supports 2 SIM cards, but because of one radio module, they can only work one by one.
Assessment (2018): 4.7
Advantages: Highest quality screen
Manufacturer country: South Korea
G360 takes the second position due to its technical characteristics, which are slightly lower than those of Alcatel's devices. The reason for this was the slightly overpriced and 1.3 megapixel camera, which has long been out of date. But there are also characteristics by which the phone of the South Korean company surpasses its competitor. First of all, it concerns the large and bright screen with natural color reproduction. Its diagonal is as much as 3 inches. It is also worth highlighting a battery with a high capacity for such devices with a capacity of 950 mAh. The review of the phone says that it can work without recharging for up to 13 hours. For other clamshells this time is almost 2 times less. All other parameters of the two phones are similar to each other, but the G360 loses because of its price, which is 1.5 times more than the cost of the owner of the palm tree and is around 4200 rubles.
TOP representatives of push-button devices with a high-quality camera
Assessment (2018): 4.7

Manufacturer country: China
If the camera is the main criterion for you when choosing a push-button telephone, then this device will leave you almost no alternative options. The body is made of plastic. Supports alternating operation of two SIMs. The 2.4-inch screen is considered large, but these dimensions are not enough to talk about the possibility of full-fledged work with the phone. An indisputable plus is the 1200 mAh battery. With a sparing mode, the battery life can be up to one week. The developers also took care of the possibility of expanding memory using a slot for a flash drive up to 16 GB. The average cost is 3700 rubles.

Its body is well protected from physical impact (shock, scratches, etc.). A powerful battery allows you to use the phone for 1.5 months without recharging. There are two slots for SIM cards. The existing drawbacks are more than covered by the cost of the device, which makes the buyer give preference to him. The average cost in Russia is 3,500 rubles.
Assessment (2018): 4.8
Advantages: Excellent value for money
Manufacturer country: China
Even an uninitiated person, hearing the name of the company "Philips", imagines a long-lived premium device. There is no doubt about the quality, but the second statement is quite the opposite, since the company switched to the production of budget devices. The average cost of a device in Russia is 4600 rubles. The assembly is carried out in China. This phone takes the first place in the rating for a reason. There are good reasons for this. First of all, the phone has an excellent price / quality ratio. It is equipped with a large screen and outwardly does not look very similar to a representative of the budget segment. Also, the advantages of the model include a high-capacity battery. It is capable of delivering a charge that will last for two days in communication mode.

The best push-button phone with a large display.
Assessment (2018): 4.8
Advantages: 3-inch screen
Manufacturer country: China
The large display in a push-button telephone looks very unusual, especially considering the total dominance of smartphones with huge screens. Fly is a British company, but this unit is assembled in China. The FF301 is ideal for those looking for a device that combines ease of use with an informative display. The phone is designed with two SIM slots and a microSD slot. Thanks to the presence of a 3.5 mm jack, you can connect a headset, which makes the device an excellent player. Thanks to the high-capacity battery (1400 mAh), you can enjoy your favorite songs for 30 hours. It is also possible to connect a headset via a Bluetooth connection. It will be extremely difficult to get high-quality photographs, since the camera has a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. But it has a flash. At least the phone can be used as a flashlight. The FF301 is also supported by its price. For that kind of money, nothing of the kind is offered on the domestic market. At specialized points of sale, such a phone can be purchased for 2,100 rubles.

id = "sub15">Before making the final choice in favor of this or that push-button telephone, we strongly recommend that you go to the store and try to “play” with the device. It is better if there are not one, but several. In this case, you will be able to assess whether a particular model suits you, how it meets your expectations and whether it is worth buying. Only after that is it worth making a purchase.
In 2018-2019, push-button phones are bought only by undemanding users for whom it is enough that their phone rings and this is a fact. However, this does not prevent developers from releasing models that borrowed their characteristics from smartphones, for example, support for 3G and 4G networks. A striking example of this is our rating, after reading which you will know for sure which push-button telephone with the Internet is the best and why.

The compact ZTE F327 made of a plastic case allows the owner to work with two SIM cards at once, including in the 3G network. It also has a 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels. For a show, there is a rear camera with a lens resolution of 0.1 MP and a slot for flash cards up to 64 GB. The battery capacity is 1000 mAh.
The ZTE F327 is one of the cheapest 3G phones on the market, so it was no coincidence that it got into our rating. The handset is assembled with a very high quality, so there are no questions about its reliability. The loudspeaker volume is average, but you will surely hear a call from the next room. The menu is simple and intuitive, even an elderly person can figure it out, plus the icons in it are large.
No. 3 - Caterpillar Cat B30
Price: 4 029 rubles 
Caterpillar Cat B30 is a phone with a waterproof and shockproof case, which also allows the owner to use two SIM cards at once and connect to 3G. By the standards of push-button cellphones, there is a rather large screen - 2 inches with a resolution of 220x176 pixels. The Caterpillar Cat B30 is equipped with a 2MP rear camera and 1GB of internal memory. The amount of RAM is 256 MB. The battery has a capacity of 1000 mAh.
The model received the bronze for a reason. Firstly - this is one of the most attractive push-button phones on the market - what other armored cell phone for 4000 can you buy? Caterpillar Cat B30 compares calmly and looks more confident than its competitors due to its armor, large screen and a good camera for its segment.

No. 2 - Nokia 8110 4G
Price: 6 066 rubles 
The Nokia 8110 4G model lacked a little before winning our rating of the best push-button phones with Internet access. It has a 2.45-inch screen with a resolution of 320x240 pixels, as well as a 2-megapixel camera. The processor is a Qualcomm MSM8905 chipset, which is assisted by 512 MB of RAM. The volume of built-in memory is 4 GB. There is also support for 4G networks and a 1500 mAh battery.
The first thing we like about the Nokia 8110 4G is its looks. This clamshell slider looks a lot like a banana when extended. In our opinion, this gives the model its originality and allows it to look more interesting than most modern flagships. The hardware component here is also quite nothing - a slot for two SIM cards, a high-quality screen, an excellent processor for the segment and a powerful battery. It is impossible not to mention the support for 4G, which will allow you to always keep abreast of events on the Internet.
# 1 - BlackBerry KEYone
Price: 28 400 rubles 
The winner in our ranking is the BlackBerry KEYone, a product of the firm known to all fans of the British TV series Sherlock. This smartphone from an aluminum body is equipped with a 4.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1620x1080 pixels and a 12-megapixel main camera. The front camera is also not without, its function is performed by an 8-megapixel sensor. Processor - Snapdragon 625, memory configuration - 3/32 GB. Battery capacity - 3505 mAh.
BlackBerry KEYone is a real flagship in the world of push-button phones running on Android OS. In addition to its elegant appearance, it offers its owner a good screen that demonstrates a rich image with color levels close to natural, as well as a filling that will be enough for most tasks. The build quality of the BlackBerry KEYone can also be attributed to the merits of the gadget - in this parameter it looks very confident and many touchscreen flagships have something to learn from it. You won't be able to pass by the support of 4G networks either, thanks to them you can always go online, just buy a SIM card tele2 or any other operator.

Despite the popularity of modern touchscreen smartphones, there are still users who prefer push-button phones. Of course, they are mostly elderly people, but there are also those who simply do not need all sorts of bells and whistles, the main thing is that the phone rings. We analyzed the market and selected the best solutions based on their photo capabilities and autonomy. You can see what came of this in our rating of push-button phones with a good camera and a battery in 2018-2019.
No. 7 - Philips E560
Price: 3 539 rubles 
The inexpensive Philips E560 is one of the loudest phones in the company's range. If you set the volume parameter on the device to maximum, then you are guaranteed to hear the call, even if you are in the subway. In general, the model's sound qualities are excellent - there is no dull sound in the spoken dynamics, plus there is a noise reduction system, so even when talking on the street, your interlocutor will only hear you.
The main advantage of the model is its autonomy. The 3010 mAh battery lasts for one and a half to two weeks. At the same time, you can safely unscrew the brightness slider to the maximum in order to comfortably use the screen in the sun. As for the 2-megapixel camera, it will come to your aid, if you need to photograph a page of a book or a document, you should not count on anything more. Philips E560 has no significant drawbacks, but the joystick spoils the experience a little. People with thumbs will press adjacent numeric buttons.
No. 6 - teXet TM-513R
Price: 3 410 rubles 
The teXet TM-513R push-button telephone has a water- and shock-resistant housing. There are no complaints about the build quality - everything is done conscientiously. The model has a very good 2570 mAh battery. This value is quite enough so that the user has to use the charger no more than once a week. The speaker is also pleasing - the call is heard even in a noisy place, but when playing melodies you will be surprised by the clarity of the sound.
TeXet TM-513R will hardly surprise anyone with its photo capabilities. A 2-megapixel sensor is clearly not enough for those who want to use it to take pictures for their Instagram, but if you have more modest needs, then there will be no complaints about it. The more significant disadvantages include the non-standard menu interface, to which you will have to get used to at first.
№5 - Nokia 3310 Dual Sim
Price: 2 990 rubles 
Nokia is one of the few that still pays attention to the segment of inexpensive push-button phones. Its model Nokia 3310 Dual Sim, released in February last year, differs from its competitors in its striking appearance. The design of the mobile phone resembles a Tamagotchi or some kind of toy. At the same time, as you might guess from the name, it supports the operation of two SIM cards at once.
The 2.4-inch display is surprisingly bright and vibrant colors, as well as good contrast. Also, Nokia 3310 Dual Sim has a very good battery, which is quite capable of holding out for about 5-7 days with active use of the phone. The camera, in general, is standard, as you would expect in a push-button telephone. True, autofocus is clearly lacking. There are no serious flaws that spoil the impression of the model. If there are only shortcomings in the face of the constant inscription "no SIM", when you do not use the second SIM card, as well as the impossibility to bind two numbers to one contact.

No. 4 - Philips Xenium E570
Price: 4 505 rubles 
Philips Xenium E570 will appeal to those who need a mobile phone with a good battery. A 3610 mAh battery lasts on average for one and a half to two weeks of use. If you use the phone very rarely, then the value can increase up to a month. Also, I would like to mention the metal cover. Thanks to her, Philips Xenium E570 will be able to survive several encounters with asphalt.
The speaker volume will be enough even to hear a call on a busy street. A camera with a sensor resolution of 2 MP will give a good result in the presence of sufficient lighting, in the absence of it there will be a mess of pixels and noise. The model turned out to be really successful, but still not perfect. The disadvantages include a strange interface that does not fit modern standards in any way, as well as weak vibration.

No. 3 - SENSEIT P300
Price: 5 360 rubles 
The SENSEIT P300 has intelligently implemented protection against water, dust and shock. Due to this, the mobile phone will serve you for many years. All this time, it will delight you with excellent autonomy, which is provided by a 2500 mAh battery. On average, you need to charge it once every 10-14 days.
I would also like to note the 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 400 by 360 pixels. The image on it is surprisingly bright and juicy. Plus, the font used in the interface is large, so older people will not have problems with text recognition. A 2-megapixel camera is enough to capture any important object. The disadvantages of the model include the crooked performance and instability of the firmware.
No. 2 - Nokia 8110 4G
Price: 4 990 rubles 
Nokia 8110 4G, made in a slider form factor, looks like a banana. This is especially noticeable when the phone is in the extended state. In addition to the non-standard design, the device offers its owner support for 4G networks, as well as a decent level of autonomy. On average, it can last 4-5 days on a single charge.
I would also like to note the speaker. Both when talking and listening to music, it produces clear sound, in this parameter the Nokia 8110 4G may well compete with modern smartphones. A 2 megapixel camera with LED flash is enough for document photos. On the street, you can achieve something with the right lighting, but if you decide to shoot at night, you will be unpleasantly surprised by the detail of the photo. The disadvantages of the device include an inconvenient keyboard, although only those with thumbs will face it.
№1 - BlackBerry KEY2
Price: 38 500 rubles 
BlackBerry KEY2 is the real flagship in the world of push-button phones. It has an elegant and stylish business design, so the gadget will look most harmonious in the hands of a businessman. The build quality is at a premium level - the construction is reliable, nothing creaks or plays.
The smartphone turned out to be quite good in terms of autonomy. The 3500 mAh battery is enough for two or two and a half days of work. This is despite the fact that there is a 4.5-inch display with a resolution of 1620 by 1080 pixels, which produces a bright picture with natural color rendition and a powerful Snapdragon 660 processor, which is distinguished by speed both in games and in ordinary applications.
The photo capabilities of the BlackBerry KEY2 are represented by a 12 + 12 MP dual main camera and an 8-megapixel front camera. Both modules are well implemented, but in our opinion the rear camera is especially good. It has a macro mode, as well as autofocus, and in general, photos are obtained with the correct color balance and a decent level of sharpness. Serious disadvantages include the price. All the same, even considering the fact that there is a good camera, the cost seems overpriced. Less significant disadvantages include the lack of NFC, support for Wi-Fi 5 GHz and the operation of two SIM cards at the same time.

It would seem that in the age of all smartphones, a push-button telephone is archaic. However, there are times when a push-button telephone with a powerful battery will be indispensable.

Or if you're just looking for a cheap phone to take on business trips, festivals and parties without worrying about losing it.

10. BlackBerry Q10
The cost is 19,900 rubles.
This unit is the flagship BlackBerry phone with a keypad. It also has touch controls, but looks exactly like a traditional BlackBerry phone.
The Q10 is relatively small and stocky, and it gives off a sense of power rather than elegance. This makes sense, since your BlackBerry is likely to be a solid workhorse. The touchscreen is 3.1 inches, and inside the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 2GB of RAM. You get 16GB of flash storage, and the option to add another 32GB with a microSD card.

- In 4G mode, the phone gets very hot and can be discharged in a few hours.
9.Nokia 8110 4G
Price, on average - 5,500 rubles (sales start in May).
Banana is the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the Nokia 2018 push-button phone. A lot is already known about the new product, which has not yet gone on sale in Russian stores. It comes in black and yellow cases, and its design plays not only on the feeling of nostalgia for the Nokia 8110, but also on the feelings of the Matrix fans. After all, it was this clamshell phone from Nokia that Morpheus sent Neo for communication in the first part of the film.
The KaiOS operating system is simple and accessible, even a child can figure it out. Apps are currently limited to Facebook, Snake and a few games. But in the future, their number will grow.
The battery is removable and very long-lasting for such a phone - 1500 mAh. The phone screen has a diagonal of 2.45 inches and a resolution of 320 × 240. Inside the device is a Qualcomm MSM8905 dual-core chip, 1100 MHz, 4 GB of internal memory and 512 MB of RAM.

7. Micromax X940
It costs, on average, 1,690 rubles.

6. Fly FF249
Can be purchased for 1,790 rubles.
This is a great push-button phone for those who don't like clamshells. It even has the most basic MP3 player, but we don't recommend trying to use it given its primitive nature. Focus on the fact that this unit is extremely easy to use and the battery will last a very, very long time.
The specs of the phone are rather modest: single-core chip MediaTek MT6261, 8 GB of flash memory, expandable by another 8 GB. And 32 MB of memory for programs. Fly FF249 is proud of its 4000 mAh battery. Because of this, it is quite thick, but it fits comfortably in the hand.

Nokia goes back to the good old push-button phones with decent build quality. A striking example is the Nokia 105. It is compact and lightweight, so you can hardly feel it in your pocket. This is a great little phone if you just want to use it for calls and texts, with a 1.8-inch color screen and FM radio.
Nokia claims the 105 has a battery backup of 35 days - making it ideal for calls and texts. Buy this phone for your kids and they won't get too distracted by games and the Internet on their way to and from school.
