We present to your attention the most popular and popular models the best feature phones in 2016— TOP 10 rating.
1.BlackBerry Priv
The top ten best feature phones of 2016 opens with the business segment device BlackBerry Priv. This model from BlackBerry was the first to receive Android version 5.1 as software, which was not the case before. The single-SIM smartphone is clad in a plastic case and Kevlar inserts on the defensive side of the case. The slider guides are made of high-quality metal, so there is no play in the QWERTY keyboard, as well as the low quality of the phone’s materials in general.
BlackBerry Priv is equipped with a 5.43-inch AMOLED screen with image dimensions of 2560x1440 pixels, a six-core Snapdragon 808 processor and an Adreno 418 graphics accelerator, and the phone's RAM is 3 GB. The main camera of the device has 18 MP with an f/2.2 aperture, but the front one is only 2 MP.
The three-microphone Natural Sound system from BlackBerry will not leave any user indifferent - the sound coming from the device and the original headset is simply excellent. Well, the most important aspect of the BlackBerry Priv smartphone, in addition to the presence of a QWERTY keyboard and its belonging to fashion gadgets, is data encryption according to the FIPS 140-2 standard, which is quite important for business segment users who have chosen this brand of phone.
The cost of the model in the European version does not exceed 32,000 rubles, but the ROSTEST version with a Russian keyboard will cost 38,000 rubles.
2.Samsung W2014
A flip phone, or a smartphone with two AMOLED screens, is nonsense, you might say, but it’s not. Samsung W2014 is recognized by the media as the world's fastest flip phone. The powerful quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2 GB of RAM easily make two absolutely identical 3.7″ screens responsive to the user’s touch. The 13 MB camera and 6 MP front camera are capable of creating high-quality photos and videos.
Samsung W2014 does not have a Russified version, namely a Russified keyboard, but by choosing the Russian interface in Android 4.3 software, you can completely cope with this problem. The cost of the phone is on average 17,000 rubles, but it is quite difficult to find this model on the Russian market.
3. BlackBerry Q10
The best and most successful model of the Canadian company BlackBerry Q10 is one of the three best push-button phones of 2016. The Q10, in the best traditions of the company, has a mechanical QWERTY keyboard, and is not at all deprived of a modern 3.1″ SuperAMOLED screen with a pixel density of 328 ppi. A fairly fast dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor with a clock frequency of 1500 megahertz and coupled with 2 GB of RAM give the BlackBerry operating system impressive performance. BlackBerry Q10 is equipped with a rear camera of 8 MP and a front camera of 2 MP. The cost of the device is on average 12,900 rubles.
4. BQ BQM-3200 Berlin
The dual-SIM phone with alternating SIM card authentication BQ BQM-3200 Berlin is created in strict classics and is popular among fans of phones with a mechanical keyboard.

The internal memory of the device can be easily expanded up to 32 GB using the SD card slot. The cost of this push-button cell phone model from Nokia is 4,990 rubles.
6.Nokia 6700 classic
The Nokia 6700 classic is a timeless classic with a steel case and mechanical buttons that is still relevant today. In addition to a durable body and indestructible Series 40 OS, the Nokia 6700 classic has a 5 MP camera with LED flash and autofocus, a 2.2-inch TFT screen and the ability to use MP3 ringtones as incoming phone calls. The device's single-core processor is capable of supporting many email and Internet protocols.

The cost of Nokia 6700 classic is 7,500 rubles, but finding a model in a store is not so easy, since the device is still popular among lovers of good push-button cell phones.

A classic from the global giant of the telephone industry, the push-button Nokia 230 comes in two versions: 1 SIM card or 2 SIM version.

An LCD Transmissive screen with 65 thousand colors and a 2.8-inch diagonal displays photo and video material that is shot on both cameras of the device, 2 MP each, although the common one is also equipped with an LED flash and 2x zoom. Easy to learn, the Symbian S30+ operating system and 16 MB of RAM are more than powerful for a device of this level. That is why the Nokia 230, costing 5,000 rubles, has been in the TOP of the best push-button mobile phones for 2016 for many years.
9. Philips Xenium E311

Internal memory – 16 MB, it is possible to use a memory card up to 32 GB.
According to the manufacturer, the battery is designed for 23 hours of talk time, 52 hours in music mode, and a standby time of 528 hours. In practice, the phone does not withstand standby mode for more than four days. There may be problems with the Internet; the phone does not support 3G. The mobile phone is massive, which is why girls have problems with ergonomics when using this model.
Another one of the Nokia phones in the series, which includes the new 2016 models with the ability to use two SIM cards. Among others, the model stands out due to its powerful battery – it can last more than 7 days. The phone is lightweight and travel-friendly. 2.4 inch color screen, soft keyboard. Social networks and the Opera browser are provided separately for convenient quick access. Built-in flashlight.
The disadvantages of the model are visible almost immediately, starting from the screen: inaccurate color reproduction, the screen changes it at the viewing angle. Despite the fairly comfortable keyboard, there is a hard-to-use middle joystick. The proprietary speaker and camera are not of the best quality. The phone is not able to display missed calls - to do this you will have to go to the menu, find the call log there and study its contents. It connects to the PC only in storage or charging mode, and then only with a memory card inserted. This model does not support speed dialing. And you will have to pay an additional amount for games. The locking system has been changed to a “hang up-menu” combination. You can only add one number to a contact; additional numbers are not supported.
Compact push-button mobile phone, has 2 SIM cards and a loud speaker. The buttons are covered with rubberized material. The model does an excellent job of maintaining communication. It has a clear screen (16.78 million colors), which displays a large and easy-to-read font and displays the date and time. Additionally, a flashlight and another hearing speaker are built-in.
The disadvantages of this mobile phone include:
- The battery holds a charge for only four days, compared to the stated 21 days;
- The body is coated with a glossy finish that makes fingerprints easily visible;
- The control joystick is small and inconvenient to operate;
- Internet use is difficult, although there are social networking apps;
- Java applications are only built-in, third-party ones cannot be installed;
- The MP3 player does not have an equalizer;
- The lid opens too tightly, there is a chance of breaking the case.
Nokia 3310
3310 is a once iconic phone model, released back in 2000. Not so long ago, at the MWC-2017 exhibition, Nokia presented an updated version of the 3310, which should appeal to both fans of the classics and those who simply need a reliable dialer for every day.
The new product comes in a variety of bright colors, has a 2.4’’ LCD display, a 2 MP camera, a slot for a flash drive and a headphone output, which allows you to use it as an mp3 player. The battery capacity is 1200 mAh, which is enough for 22 hours of talk time, and in standby mode the 3310 will lie on the shelf for about a month. The price of the phone is not the most modest; for 3310 you will have to pay 50 euros.
Nokia 150
Nokia 150, which has no previous merits, costs much less - you can buy the phone for 1.9-2 thousand rubles. And besides a different design and a slightly worse camera (0.3 versus 2 MP), it offers its owner essentially the same thing. On board the 150th model there is a 2.4’’ screen, a hybrid card slot (flash drives up to 32 GB are supported), a flashlight, radio, 3.5 headphone output and Bluetooth, allowing you to connect a wireless headset.
Autonomy is provided by a 1020 mAh battery, which lasts for 31 days in standby mode. Among the shortcomings of the Nokia 150, we can only note the classic Nokia 4-way control button, which does not seem convenient to everyone.
Samsung push-button phones new 2016-2017
Samsung B350E
A push-button mobile phone has a rougher and more brutal design compared to its predecessors. These phones are new for 2016 and give the impression of being a rational device. The buttons are soft and large enough, made of rubberized material. The back cover has a matte relief. Has 2 SIM cards. Built-in flashlight. Manufacturers have installed a large number of applications, which allows you to use the mobile phone as a very slow smartphone without a touch panel.
There are few disadvantages, but they exist. The buttons are located too close to each other, which is why the press may not register correctly. The camera has only 2 megapixels, autofocus and flash are missing. The phone supports Internet only in GPRS format. Despite its good characteristics, the screen transmits information very poorly in the sun. Due to the large number of pre-installed applications, the phone slows down.
Samsung SM-B310E
The new 2016 model is somewhat unusual for the company, as it exceeds the usual dimensions for phones of this brand. Typically, push-button mobile phones from Samsung are smaller in size. Made in a metal case with plastic inserts. The speaker is loud enough. The model already includes the Opera browser and Skype. There is a flashlight. The battery can withstand three days of use with infrequent use, and a day with constant use.
On the downside, the player does not display songs whose titles contain Cyrillic. The sound in the headphones is weak, the headset is not supported by the model at all. The screen is very fragile and scratches easily. Java applications are limited to run. If the RAM is overloaded, the phone will spontaneously restart the system. The screen has a very small viewing angle and does not display information correctly in the sun.
Philips push-button phones new 2016-2017
Philips E181
A convenient push-button new product for 2016 from Philips, which supports 2 SIM cards and a very powerful 3100 mAh battery that can withstand 139 days of standby time and two days of talk time. There is also a camera. You can even use it to charge other phones if you have a cable. Very loud speaker and reliable build.
According to user reviews, the battery can last for a month. The screen is dim and has small font. The cover glass gets scratched quickly. The sound is unclear and blurry at high volumes. The headphones are perceived poorly; the sound in them leaves much to be desired. The buttons are very soft to press, which is uncomfortable when worn without a case. The sound of a call is not muted.
A 2016 phone with two SIM cards, which is designed for easy use by anyone. It doesn't have any technical bells and whistles, but it is equipped with a huge keyboard and on-screen fonts. There is a “magnifying glass” function with a five-fold zoom and “speech synthesis”, which sounds the characters being typed. The phone is ideal for older people. There is a charging dock that can be mounted on the wall or simply placed. There is an SOS button on the back panel. Camera available. The battery can hold a charge for up to two months.
Many phone functions require a memory card. The SOS button is located in the wrong place and can be pressed accidentally in a pocket or purse. The phone's memory is quite small and is not enough for most functions. The camera doesn't shoot well in low light.
Philips E570
E570 is the senior model in the Xenium line of long-lasting push-button phones. For 4,000 thousand rubles you can get a dialer that has a standby time of up to 170 days, which can also be used as a power bank to charge other devices. With actual use, the phone lasts about 2-3 weeks.
E570 works with two SIM cards, has a bright 2.8’’ screen, a 2MP camera, a loud speaker, supports radio, plays mp3 and video. In general, it has everything that an average user needs. Among the shortcomings, we note a weak vibration alert; many users also complain about the color design of the menu - white text on a blue background, while the ability to change the theme is not provided.
FLY push-button phones
Fly TS112
The peculiarity of this phone is that it works with three SIM cards. The device also perfectly maintains the network in conditions of a weak signal, which will not allow you to be left without communication in an elevator or passage. The 1400 mAh battery is enough for several days of continuous operation. The 1.30 MP camera is suitable for capturing the necessary information. 
Fly FF246
Budget new product from Fly with a 0.3 MP camera. It also supports Bluetooth 2.1 to connect another phone or headset. The 1000 mAh battery will allow you to work in talk mode for 4 hours and standby time for 200 hours.
Feature phones from other manufacturers
LG G360
The clamshell form factor has seemingly sunk into oblivion, but it still has its adherents. And if you are one of them, then the LG G360 should not go unnoticed. This is a stylish and well-assembled clamshell, in a plastic case (available in two colors - red and gray), with a large 3'' screen, a replaceable battery and full support for two SIM cards and a flash drive.
Among the pleasant aspects are a loud speaker, large and comfortable control keys, as well as excellent call quality in any conditions. Cons: mediocre battery life (the battery is only 950 mAh, you will have to charge the phone every 3-4 days), a camera for show, and a somewhat inflated price (from 4.5 thousand rubles).
Micromax X1800 Joy
The X1800 fits the description like no other phone – cheap and cheerful. Looking for any shortcomings in a phone that costs 700 rubles is not a rewarding task, but the X1800 doesn’t have any particular disadvantages; the only serious compromise in favor of lowering the price can be considered the lack of a vibration alert function as such.
In all other respects, this is an excellent caller for ridiculous money. The phone supports two SIM cards, has a flashlight, Bluetooth, a memory card slot, a loud speaker and a decent battery that can provide up to a week of battery life for moderate private conversations. We definitely recommend purchasing it if you are on a limited budget.
Alcatel 1054E
The Alcatel 1054E is not much more expensive, which can be purchased for 900-1000 rubles. In addition to all the functions described above, it has a vibration alert and a 0.3 MP camera. Users of this model note the loud and high-quality sound of the main and conversational speakers, good signal reception in problem areas, as well as excellent build quality for its price. The downside is a weak battery, which lasts for 4-5 days of operation with infrequent conversations. 
teXet TM-513R
Let's not forget about secure phones. One of the most popular SUVs is the TM-513R from domestic electronics manufacturer teXet. The phone was introduced at the end of 2015, but to this day it remains relevant and the brand’s best-selling model. The gadget is certified to the IP67 protection standard, it is not afraid of short-term immersion in water, is completely protected from dust and is resistant to falls thanks to rubberized aluminum inserts that reinforce the phone's body.
Among the advantages of the model are support for two SIM cards, very loud speakers, good autonomy (you will have to charge it on average once a week) and a relatively good camera. The main drawback is the build quality that varies from model to model, which is why some users may end up with defects. Price – from 3.2 thousand rubles.
