Discover the classic simplicity of the Benefon Q, a mobile phone that harkens back to the basics of communication. Launched in the year 2000, this device is a testament to the era of monochrome displays and straightforward functionality.
This mini-SIM phone prioritizes essential functions without the complexities of modern smartphones. It lacks a camera, Bluetooth, and WLAN, focusing instead on core features like SMS and Email, supported by WAP 1.1 and HTMP (MS) for basic internet browsing.
The Benefon Q’s user interface is designed for ease of use, featuring dynamic and user-selectable font sizes powered by electro-luminescent lighting for optimal visibility. The phonebook can store up to 50 contacts, and the call record keeps track of 10 dialed, received, and missed calls each.
Sound-wise, the Benefon Q offers vibration alerts and downloadable monophonic ringtones, but it does not include a loudspeaker or a 3.5mm jack, maintaining its minimalist approach. Users can personalize ringing melodies, ascending alerts, and choose from several SMS alert tones and tone levels.
For its power source, the Benefon Q relies on a removable Li-Po 620 mAh battery, providing up to 100 hours of standby time and up to 3 hours of talk time. An alternative lithium-ion 650 mAh battery option extends standby to 120 hours and talk time to approximately 5 hours and 20 minutes.
The phone also includes a few built-in games, predictive text input, an organizer, and phone ON/OFF timers, adding a touch of convenience and entertainment.
In essence, the Benefon Q is a mobile device that strips away the frills and focuses on the fundamental purpose of a phone – to keep you connected. It’s a reliable choice for anyone who values the uncomplicated and efficient communication of yesteryears.
