On push-button phones started laughing right after the world became familiar with smartphones. Supposedly, they are this, or that, and the screen is bad and cameras are worthless, and the buttons you need to press to make a call, the nineteenth-century, the word is a guard that sucks. However, the market of ordinary phones, the so-called “dialer” is surprisingly very much alive and continues to evolve despite the fact that it’s already 2016. What we are talking about brand new devices and not on the elimination of stocks from Bangladeshi stores.
So we are quietly and approached the company Prestigio, which has long produces not only smartphones primary and secondary level, but also good phones. Recently the developer announced the release of two devices — Muze Wize A1 and B1 — which already went on sale.
It is considered that the push-button phones are designed for seniors, however, immediately add that the model Muze A1 and B1 Wize to call “Babushkina”, referring to their narrow focus on the seniors, is fundamentally not true. Due to the fact that both phones have fairly small buttons, they are well suited for busy people that need to always be connected, and in the first place is the battery life of the phone as well as students of younger age, as the first phone.
Wize B1 — classic push button phone. His only purpose is the ability to make calls. There’s no support for 4G/3G networks, not even a camera, and why is it in this class of devices? Often the camera in the mobile phones set solely for the sake of formalities, but the use of it all the same almost nothing at all. So put the first Prestigio plus for getting rid of unnecessary ballast components. Phone case standard, material — plastic. Color options to choose two black and white.
But for the fact that the company did not bother to install in the mobile phone flashlight, it another plus. Still, this accessory looks much more useful than the camera or touch screen. A flashlight can even Shine a light to find the door well or rolling under bed, dresser or kitchen table subject. Another useful “feature” Wize B1 can be called a FM radio. There are all sorts of YouTube, Google Play, Telegram, iTunes and Periscope in these phones obviously to anything, but listen to the radio with the latest news sometimes you want.
Technical characteristics Prestigio Wize B1:

All we talked about Wize B1 can be applied to the mobile phone Muze A1. It is also quite restrained in terms of design push button phone without any frills, without the support networks above 2G. However, in contrast to the Wize B1, A1 Muze still got the main camera, however, with the ridiculous resolution of 0.1 MP. It is difficult to say what happens to film on this camera, but to distinguish the men from the women in the photos.
Technical characteristics Prestigio Muze A1:
– support of GSM 900/1800/1900 bands;
– 2.4-inch color TFT display with a resolution of 320×240 pixels (167 DPI);
– chipset SC6531DA;
– 32 MB of RAM;
– 32 MB internal memory;
– microSD slot with support for cards up to 32GB;
– main camera with flash 0.1 MP;
– Bluetooth;

– flashlight;
– rechargeable Li-ion battery 1000 mAh;
– dimensions — 124,5×50,9×9.9 mm;
– weight — 78 grams.
As you can see, in the model A1 Muze seriously increased the screen size, the phone is much thinner model Wize B1. Instead of a 1.8-inch display Wize B1, A1 Muze phone has 2.4-inch panel. This, of course, beneficial impact on the perception of information. All on the large screen is easier to see the text, and the presence of the camera suggests that the phone is already somehow, but will consider photos, although the resolution of 320×240 pixels and a density of 167 DPI of a long and thoughtful view do not contribute.
Both models support the installation of two SIM-cards. People are always trying to save a few tens of rubles, choosing mobile operators on the basis of the tariff policy, so that the dualsim will always remain at a premium, since everyone is free to choose what SIM card and where is more profitable to call. Let’s say a beloved relative in another city with Beeline, and clients and colleagues – with unlimited tariff.
If the phone is purchased for school first-graders who just learned to read, do not limit yourself to oral instructions. Take a large white sheet of A4 and print on a printer at home large print brief structured instruction on the use of any phone features. Call home the child, give him the phone and ask them to read what you wrote.
Another advantage of Muze A1 was the high-capacity battery. In Wize B1 capacity battery, recall, claimed as 600mAh, but here — as much as 1000. Of course, part of the energy will eat the display, but because he is an ordinary TFT, but not touch, the power consumption on the screen can be neglected. The manufacturer did not give you any figures on battery life, but said that talking on Muze A1 can be three days in normal mode or a whole day without a break (probably from dusk till dawn). Therefore, we assume a talk time of at least eight or 10 hours. A rare man could stand such a marathon! So charging one battery at 1000 mAh is probably enough for even the girls-“chatterbox” for a week at least.
Since Wize B1, A1 and Muze support playing MP3, it makes sense to fill the phone memory is good audiobook, adjusted for user: child, adult, elderly. To use the music player on these phones is no more difficult than to turn on the radio, and with the presence of brief, clear instructions in large print, installation generally turns into nothing.
Prices from mobile phones is very tasty and not a bit cumbersome. For model A1 Muze, the company Prestigio and its distributor Asbis asking for a total of 1490 rubles, and Wize B1 will cost even less — 1190 rubles. Yet to find these devices on sale not easy, but after a few weeks they will be available, hopefully, in a larger number of outlets. Price phones at the same level, so when choosing you need to look at individual preferences, color and the required functionality. In the end, if something does not like, 1,500 rubles can hardly break a serious dent in your budget.
As for the choice in favor of a particular model, we prefer Muze A1. It looks a bit more lively, with a screen larger diagonal, and the battery life allows you forget the route to your home outlet. The approximate time in the active mode of operation to three days. Wize B1 works somewhat smaller, but it is likely to last a long time if the user is not hanging on the phone day and night.
