A push-button mobile phone is a convenient and inexpensive means of communication for users of all ages. The new Xenium X700 will be especially interesting for older users: it practically duplicates the classic home phone, but offers much more features. We will tell you why the model is interesting.
The problem of a lost phone in an apartment is familiar to many firsthand. It is good if there is a second phone at home to call the first one. Otherwise, you need to wait a long time for an incoming call or arrange an unplanned rearrangement of furniture in search of it. And it is always easy to put the device in one place only in words.
Another thing is when the phone has a docking station. It is equipped with a pin connector, which was traditionally used in home DECT “handsets”. It is very convenient to insert a phone into such a “stand”, which will immediately start charging, so you do not have to mess with a separate accessory and look for a free outlet. At the same time, this will help you develop a useful habit of leaving your phone in one place and not losing it after each conversation.
The accessory will also come in handy at work or on a business trip. If you have to move around the warehouse often or leave the office for a long time, the device will replace both a cell phone and a landline phone. Xenium X700 will allow you to always be in touch, and when installed on a station in the manner of an office “handset”, it will automatically charge.
The design of the Xenium X700 is classic: even if the new owner previously had to use only a cordless phone, almost nothing will change for him. Except that the display will become color and increase in size, but this is even a plus. The bright 2.31-inch TFT panel, although it has a relatively small resolution, all digits when dialing a number and interface elements are made very large and easy to read.
In addition to the traditional numeric keypad with a legible font, the device has a convenient joystick for navigating through the menu. There are a minimum of settings in the firmware, but they are not difficult to understand even without experience in using modern devices.
Although the phone looks like a landline, the functions of a cellular phone with support for 2G networks have not gone anywhere. The device can be taken anywhere and used as a regular mobile phone. Docking is a matter of convenience, not a critical necessity. You can top up the 1700 mAh battery from any power bank or powerbank with a USB Type-C cable.
Another advantage of the phone over classic home handsets is its more modest size (124 x 57 x 16 mm). The device also weighs little – only 114 grams. It is not difficult to keep it for a long-time during conversations, and it will not take up much space in your pocket.
The claimed autonomy of the model is up to 19 hours of phone talks, and the device will last up to 49 days in standby mode. Even if you forget to charge it several times in a row, this will not lead to a loss of contact with relatives or emergency services.
The phone has little built-in memory: it is only enough for a notebook with a capacity of 1000 numbers. But Xenium X700 capacity can be expanded by installing a microSD memory card with a capacity of up to 32 GB. It is useful for recording your own ringtones, as well as music or audiobooks in MP3 format. There is also an FM radio, which can be listened to through the built-in speaker or in headphones.
The phone also has other useful functions – an alarm clock, a calculator and an LED flashlight. The latter is located at the upper end of the case, so it is convenient to shine it under the sofa or in other hard-to-reach places.
The list of characteristics of the model is complemented by a 0.3 MP camera. For portrait photography, this resolution is not enough, but in some cases it can help out. Finally, for the convenience of talking in winter or in bad weather, a Bluetooth module is provided. With it, you can answer an incoming call through a wireless headset without taking your phone out of your pocket or bag.
The Xenium X700 is a convenient alternative to a home phone for older users and just a practical dialer that is hard to lose. The model boasts excellent autonomy, a set of useful functions and a classic design that does not require getting used to. In addition, its purchase will not make a hole in the household budget: the novelty costs a little more than three thousand rubles.
