Even if your cellular operator has 2G coverage in all the places you need, the third generation phone support by phone definitely increases the chances of successful dialing on the first attempt. Especially during periods of peak load. Model 3025X has such a useful feature, but Simka is unique in it, consider this point when choosing. On the other hand, you will not be constantly annoyed by the inscription on the “Insert ...” screen, if you do not need the second card in principle. The phone is really the best among those currently produced: with automatic recording of conversations, an additional microphone of the noise cancellation system, separate LED indicators (power and event systems), a rather large font, a convenient calendar and other usefulness, such as the “answer cover” function.

A rare case when the manufacturer did not pretend that the presence of a poor camera turns a push-button phone into a full-fledged replacement of the camera. Already one of these features makes the model 2436 acceptable from the point of view of information security in the army, law enforcement agencies or at secure enterprises. Moreover, the list of advantages of this push-button phone, the novelties of the Russian brand BQ, only opens the dimensionlessness. For many, the possibility of simultaneous installation of four SIM-cards at the same time may be an equally important chip. Finally, Power in the name of the phone clearly hints at the increased "resilience" of the device.And indeed, 3000 mAh is a solid capacity, which ensures impressive autonomy of the new product.

Disadvantages are typical for the buttons of this brand: one number per contact, the complexity of searching the phone book, a very inconvenient menu.

Many of you have probably dropped mobile phones into the water. In most of these cases, a quick rescue operation avoids the fatal consequences for the communication facility. But if the phone is drowned in a deep place, then the chances of a favorable outcome already depend on temperature and other related factors. The novelty of 2019 from the BQ company allows to reduce the risk of loss in general to a minimum, as far as this phone with the telling name Bobber (float) cannot go to the bottom in principle. Lining of a very light material and the air "bubble" in an airtight case is not allowed. Fishermen will definitely like this megaplyushka. Moreover, the BQ 2439 can boast a very decent autonomy.

Unfortunately, the rest of the talents of the device are not encouraging: 3G networks are not supported, the phone book is the simplest, the search system in it is inconvenient, and there is little memory.

Image push-button phone is simply obliged to be able to work on all imaginable ranges. Including in 4G networks, I mean providing mobile communication using VoLTE technology. Any number of numbers per contact with a name of unlimited length, as many additional fields as you like - such a cool phone book of modern buttonmakers only dreams. And no wonder, to the extent that the majority of such devices work on the most truncated versions of the old systems, and the reincarnation of the legendary Nokia 8110 works on the developing KaiOS operating system. It is also the most problematic place of the phone, well at least software updates are released fairly quickly and there is a choice of custom firmware. Geolocation, the built-in client of the same YouTube, the ability to use the device to work with payment cards (through online applications), the access point, what chips are there just not.

The boundaries of the concept of “always being in touch” are different for everyone. If, due to various circumstances, you have to use the services of three or four mobile operators or ensure the availability of several numbers of one of them, the easiest way is to streamline the existing card “economy” using a 4-sim telephone. There is no particular diversity in this segment, however, the company BQ has already formed a whole line of such models.As a rule, these phones do not have high performance and trouble-free operation, but Quattro Power was pleasantly surprised. “It hangs dead on end” only when receiving operator spam messages and is compact enough, although it is equipped with a relatively powerful battery. I would also like a phone book decently (and not 200 numbers / one per contact), but what's not, that is not.

The next update of the line of “long-livers” Philips surprises with the strangeness of its advertising presentation. One gets the impression that the marketers of the manufacturer did not even bother to refresh the technical characteristics of the predecessor Xenium E580. In fact, how can reducing the battery capacity by 2%, when using a very similar filling, reduce the autonomy of the phone by almost two times? In this case, the opportunity to write a video is not even mentioned. Whatever it was, this model should be considered as a means of communication with an impressive duration of work on a single battery charge or a kind of crib. However, in the latter case, you also need to take into account that the power subsystems of apple mobile gadgets Xenium E580 is incompatible.

The unusual feature of this novelty in the family of push-button phones is the presence of a particularly powerful speaker on the back side. If you do not consider such a chip unique (and cite as an example the predecessor or the same MAXVI P12), then we will add that the manufacturer of the 2810 at the same time took care of the implementation of voice guidance not only when dialing a number, but also during an incoming call. Well, the flashlight of the phone in question is much brighter.With the rest of the functionality, everything is familiar and sad: no camera, poor phone book, does not support third-generation networks. Well at least the radio agrees to work without connecting headphones. The autonomy of the BOOM XL line is quite high.
