To install a 3.1-inch screen, the developers had to abandon several buttons that could be seen on other models of the manufacturer. The AMOLED screen boasts a resolution of 720x720 pixels, which is quite enough for a gadget of this level. The display brightness can be adjusted automatically or manually.
3. Performance BlackBerry Q10 depends on which modification was chosen. The company offers two versions: the first is equipped with a dual-core OMAR 4470 processor, and the second version is equipped with the MSM8960 from the world-renowned manufacturer Qualcomm. There are no problems with the speed of the phone or the loading of the interface. Everything here happens quite quickly and smoothly, but there is no such speed as flagship smartphones.
4. Multimedia. A distinctive feature of BlackBerry mobile phones has always been that the manufacturer did not pay close attention to the camera. However, we decided to make an exception for the Q10 and equipped it with a high-end 8-megapixel camera, which has a simple and uncomplicated interface. The flash can work in automatic mode, but there is no auto focus here. 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 from this segment. As for video recording, the BlackBerry Q10 defaults to 720p, but the user can set it to 1080p if desired.
5. Autonomy. One of the features of the brand 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.
6. 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. To get used to the keyboard, a week is enough, after which it will be possible to type blindly without any problems. The only significant disadvantage is that you can only print after the field is selected by clicking on a certain place on the screen.

The price of BlackBerry Q10 in Russia is 11,000 rubles. You can also watch a detailed video review of this phone:

This unit is BlackBerry's flagship keypad phone. It also has touch controls, but looks exactly like a traditional BlackBerry phone.

The Q10 is relatively small and squat, and this gives a feeling not of elegance, but of power. And this makes sense, since your BlackBerry is likely to be a reliable workhorse. It has a 3.1-inch touchscreen and inside the phone is a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor with a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and 2GB of RAM.

This material was inspired by the best push-button mobile phones released over the past year.

Philips Xenium X1560

Philips is a fairly well-known company, in particular in the home appliances market. In the field of mobile devices, Philips engineers got out a long time ago, the Xenium line even grew into smartphones, but these gadgets did not find popularity. Philips Xenium X1560 is a niche product aimed at users who want to get maximum operating time and good communication quality. The phone has a classic design, matte black casing, a compact keyboard and a joystick for navigating menus and games. The display diagonal is 2.4 inches, and its resolution is 320 by 240 pixels. The TFT matrix is ​​involved, therefore color rendition and viewing angles suffer greatly, but in order to dial a number, this is enough. The main feature of the gadget is a massive battery, the volume of which was 2900 milliamp hours. The manufacturer promises up to 40 hours of operation under load, 2400 hours in standby mode.

Users, for the most part, respond positively to the new product. Many praise the monolithic case, resistant to damage. The battery has not been neglected. Enthusiasts managed to stretch the work time to three weeks. The townsfolk appreciated the ability to recharge other devices using the phone.

Micromax X2400

Baby Micromax X2400 is equipped with a massive battery for 2800 milliamp hours. The manufacturer promises up to 13 hours of talk time and up to 500 hours of standby time. The phone looks similar to classic devices from the Sony Ericsson K750 series. Just as plump, with an extended keyboard and wider display. There is a camera with a size of 0.3 megapixels, suitable only for performing utilitarian functions (taking pictures of documents, for example). There is no Internet access and most of the standard multimedia features.

Despite severely limited functionality, the phone was able to hook the public at an extremely low price. Of all the feature phones released in 2016, the Micromax X2400 is perhaps the most affordable for the general public.

The British brand Fly is very popular in Russia. The mobile division of the company offers a lot of interesting devices, including excellent push-button mobile phones for 2 SIM cards. Visually, FLY FF241 resembles the Philips Xenium described above. Just as compact and ergonomic. The phone has an identical display with a diagonal of 2.4 inches and a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. Of the advantages, it is worth highlighting the presence of a full-fledged chip with a frequency of 260 megahertz. It is possible to access the Internet using the GPRS protocol.

The gadget has a camera with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. The indicator is not the best, but among budget push-button phones it is quite tolerable, you can still take a more or less intelligible photo. The camera is equipped with an LED flash and can also shoot video.

In terms of autonomy, the phone from Fly is not far from its main competitors. Under the hood of this baby is a massive 2750 milliamp-hour battery. According to the manufacturer, the phone can live up to 11 hours of talk time.

The phone hooked many users primarily with its high functionality (taking into account the price, of course). They scolded only the flimsy assembly and the lack of a dual communication module (SIM cards work alternately).

Blackberry Q10

Perhaps the best push-button phone that can be found on the market. In the post-Soviet space, Blackberries are not so popular, but in the West they went crazy for a long time. Externally, the phone is no different from other devices of the manufacturer. Classic rectangle with rounded edges for a comfortable one-handed grip. Stunning QWERTY keyboard that makes typing a pleasure. No accidental clicks, no discomfort when speed dialing.

The phone is equipped with a 3.1-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 720 pixels. An AMOLED matrix is ​​used, which means that the owner of the gadget will be able to enjoy bright colors and maximum viewing angles. Huddled under the lid: a powerful chip with acceleration up to 1500 megahertz, 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of main memory. There is an 8-megapixel camera capable of taking great pictures in good light. The gadget runs on an advanced operating system created by RIM engineers and supports all key services of the Canadian company. Also the phone is one of the safest on the market. With all the capabilities of the device, including a full-fledged Blackberry OS operating system, autonomy does not suffer at all. In talk mode, the device lives up to 13 hours.

Samsung Metro B350

Push-button mobile phones "Samsung" is now a rarity. This direction has not been a priority for Koreans for a long time. However, it is still supported, and from time to time there are good devices that have nothing to do with the world of Galaxy.

It’s worth mentioning right away that Samsung has begun to increasingly rely on its brand and corporate design, and the little Metro B350 was no exception. The phone looks stylish. A neat, ascetic design is pleasing to the eye, and high-quality assembly to the hands. The display diagonal is 2.4 inches, and its resolution is 320 by 240 pixels, everything is like everyone else. There is a camera with a resolution of 2 megapixels. Of the features, we can distinguish the presence of a full-fledged radio. The modest dimensions of the device did not allow installing a capacious battery in it, therefore, everyone who prefers an interesting design will have to put up with a rather low autonomy compared to competitors.

Fans of "Samsung" speak positively about the gadget. Most often noted is a bright display that produces rich and accurate colors. Many scolded the keyboard for its overly compact size.

Vertex S103

The little-known brand Vertex is rarely seen anywhere. Employees of the company are clearly not enough stars from the sky and are content with what they have, producing inexpensive devices for their category of consumers. Vertex S103 has a long forgotten clamshell form factor. The phone catches with its aesthetics, it is very neat, looks stylish and practical. This will look great in the hands of the fair sex.

Actually, the exterior of the gadget is the only thing that can hook it. Technical characteristics of the device leave much to be desired. A tiny 1.7-inch low-res display, a tiny 800 milliamp-hour battery, and a terrible VGA camera. All this does not speak in favor of the brainchild of Vertex, but rather, on the contrary. On the other hand, those who are nostalgic for the good old "clamshells" or simply want to use a nice thing for a small price should turn their eyes towards this miracle.

Nokia 230

One of the last on the list is a legendary brand that has suffered a difficult fate. Mobile phone "Nokia", push-button. New items from this series appear not so often. After the company was sold to Microsoft, Windows-based gadgets from the Lumia series took priority.

Despite this, classic phones have not disappeared anywhere. The Finns have not gone far from their roots and continue to make decent dialers for connoisseurs of all sorts. One such phone is the Nokia 230, and it's really good. Stylish, monolithic, metal case captivates at first sight. You can feel the hand of the once great brand. Corporate design is perfectly combined with new trends in the design of gadgets. The first thing that catches your eye is a large display with excellent color reproduction on the front panel. Below it is a classic keyboard with a joystick in the central part. The phone is equipped with two cameras with a resolution of 2 megapixels. A kind of push-button phone for selfie lovers. According to the manufacturer, the device can live more than 20 hours on a single charge.

The owners of the novelty are delighted. The phone satisfies the needs of the absolute majority. The performance of the display and keyboard is top notch. Basic functions, such as speed dialing and saving multiple numbers for one contact, are present. The only thing that occasionally causes complaints is the metal case, which seemed to many to be heavy and out of place in such a phone.

BQ BQM-3200 Berlin

A massive and rather heavy brick with a speaking name. BQ is actively promoting devices from this series. Each unit has its own unique character, and is named after various places and cities. Berlin is a very strict, even rude gadget with a large keyboard. The back panel is made of plastic imitating leather. The visual charms of this phone pale into insignificance when it comes to looking at the specifications. And everyone, starting from a small camera of 0.3 megapixels, ending with a battery of 1250 milliamp hours. Other characteristics are the same as in Philips Xenium X1560. When using the device, there is a double impression. On the one hand, we have a surprisingly stylish gadget at an extremely affordable price, on the other hand, a confusing menu and poor performance.
