Down with wires! TOP-5 radiotelephones

Panasonic KX-TGB210

Despite the relatively low cost, the compact DECT phone from Panasonic is one of the best models among the representatives of the low-cost class.

The small round base of the radiotelephone is easily installed on a table or shelf in the most cramped conditions. There is only one key on its body, which is responsible for searching for a lost handset. Both components of the radiotelephone can be made in black, white, blue or red colour.

The weight of the tube is approximately 130 g.In numerous reviews, the owners note its comfortable grip in the hand and a large font of numbers on rubber keys. The latter, unfortunately, do not have a backlight, so it is difficult to use the phone in poor lighting conditions. But in the dark, a monochrome display with a diagonal of 1.4" is highlighted in blue.

The set of functions of the phone includes only the most necessary: caller ID, support for Intercom mode (intercom), an alarm clock and a phone book for 50 numbers. But for some reason the handset was deprived of a speakerphone. Minimal functionality has its advantages, for example, it allows you to more efficiently use the energy of batteries represented by two AAA batteries. In standby mode, the phone can last up to 280 hours on a single charge, and about 16 hours when talking.

A pleasant design paired with an attractive price makes an exceptionally positive impression on users of the Panasonic KX-TGB210. The lack of extensive functionality practically does not overshadow it, because not everyone needs it.

Texet TX-D7605A

At a cursory glance, a Texet radiotelephone can easily be confused with a push-button mobile phone. Only slightly larger dimensions in height give it away.

The model is equipped with a small colour screen that displays 65K shades. It displays all the basic information: the current time and date, the status of communication with the base unit, the name and phone number of the caller, as well as the battery charge indication. Navigation through the menu items is carried out on an intuitive level — all the elements in it are arranged logically and thoughtfully.

The tube body forms a single geometry with the base — the line separating the keyboard and the display is a continuation of the top of the base unit. It looks very stylish and modern. The base itself supports a connection with five tubes, with the help of which it is possible to place the latter in different rooms, create a conference call or organize an internal communication (Intercom).

Data is entered into the phone's memory by means of a keyboard with fused keys. Users praise her for her high level of responsiveness, but at the same time blame the possibility of accidentally pressing neighboring buttons. The handset supports 15 call melodies (including 10 polyphonic ones), and its conversational speaker stands out with a high-quality sound, devoid of extraneous noise, wheezing and hissing.

In terms of battery life, the radiotelephone lags behind colleagues in the shop — the manufacturer's stated standby time is only 100 hours, which is 2.5-3 times less than that of competitors. Nevertheless, this characteristic does not scare off potential buyers who choose Texet TX-D7605A for the real time of its operation in talk mode — 10 hours will be enough for a full working day and for long-term communication with relatives or friends.

Philips D6051B

The radiotelephone from the Dutch brand Philips has a balanced set of characteristics and fits comfortably in any hand. Therefore, it can be used both at home and in the office.

Improved frequency range tuning improves the quality of the reproduced sound — the interlocutor is perfectly audible even when both sides are talking at the same time (for example, in the case of a heated argument). It is possible to adjust the sound to your needs thanks to three sound profiles: "Clean", "Soft" and "Warm sounding". No less good quality is found in polyphonic call melodies, of which as many as 15 variations are available.

The handset is equipped with a 1.7-inch colour display capable of displaying about 262K different colours. The readability of the information from it does not cause any complaints. When setting up the base, the screen always remains on, displaying the current date and time values, which can cause some discomfort in the dark. But what helps if you need to dial a number in the dark is the soft yellow backlight of the keys.

Reliable communication with the base in the premises is provided within a radius of 50 m, in the open space the range of signal reception range increases to 300 m. The design of the base includes answering machine control keys and a small digital display. The duration of the answering machine recording time is 30 minutes.

Additional functionality of the model includes the possibility of using it as a radio nanny (either paired with an additional handset, or by making a call lasting 30 seconds to a preset number). The radiotelephone is also able to determine the caller's number, but this feature only works with digital PBX that support the Caller ID function.

Two "pinky" batteries from the delivery set have a small capacity (550 mAh), therefore, with intensive use of the tube, their charge may not be enough until the end of the working day in the office. The problem is solved by installing high-capacity batteries (for example, about 1000 mAh).

Panasonic KX-TGJ310

A black or white glossy case in silver edging gives the Panasonic KX-TCJ310 a kind of a dandy, who is also endowed with a whole armada of useful functions.

The first link in the phone's capabilities is the Caller ID function. It not only detects the phone number when an incoming call is received, but also duplicates it in parallel with a voice alert. Thus, any unwanted call can be ignored without coming to the handset. The blacklist will help to completely exclude unwanted calls — numbers are entered into it in whole or in part (in the form of a sequence of digits from 2 to 8 characters long).

The phone's volume notebook is designed for 300 contacts. The call log also stores a lot of information (50 recent calls with details about the date and duration). The data is displayed on a high-quality colour display that fully supports all Cyrillic characters. Both the screen and the keyboard are equipped with built-in backlight for more comfortable control of the phone in the dark. By the way, the keys are not separated from one another, which increases the aesthetic component, but limits the possibilities in blind dialing.

In the event of a power outage, the tube is able to provide emergency power to the base from its batteries. To do this, it must be installed on the base and make calls via speakerphone. In the presence of additional tubes, the maximum number of which can reach 6, it is enough to chain one of them to the base, communicating on the others in parallel. In addition, a pair of tubes allows you to set up the function of a radio nanny - one of them is placed near the child and if the baby cries, it automatically sends an audio alert to the parent side.

The versatility of the Panasonic KX-TGJ310 is complemented by a night mode, a wide variety of polyphonic call melodies (40 pcs.) with the ability to set a separate ringtone for groups of subscribers or specific contacts, as well as the presence of a special ECO mode, the activation of which reduces the radiation level by 90% and provides energy savings of about 3.5%. Such a rich armament, of course, makes you pay attention to the radiotelephone and think about acquiring it both for work purposes and for home use.

Gigaset C530A Duo

Products under the Gigaset brand, which in the recent past was part of the giant of the German industry — Siemens, covers the telephony industry and is one of the generally recognized world leaders in it.

The Duo prefix in the name of the Gigaset C530A radiotelephone model indicates an extended delivery package, including an additional handset with its own stand for charging it. In general, the base unit is able to take up to 6 tubes under its wing.

From the real owners, the phone receives purely positive reviews. Clear sound from a conversational speaker, 30 polyphonic melodies, an answering machine for 30 minutes with an indication of the number of voice messages left on the base screen is only a small fraction of the positive aspects of the telephone. But you should not discount the confident signal reception and the vaunted German build quality.

The strength of the radiotelephone is a 1.8" colour display. The user can choose from two colour schemes of its design — dark and lighter. In case of insufficient lighting, the backlight of the screen and the keyboard unit assists in dialing.

Another important feature of the device is the support for automatic adjustment of the radiation intensity — it reduces the signal power from the tube to the base station depending on the distance between them. Completely turn off the radiation of the transmitter during the inactivity of the phone by the power of the ECO Mode Plus function.

The duration of the tubes without recharging is 300 hours in standby mode and about 14 hours in talk mode. Among other things, it is necessary to note the possibility of mounting the base on the wall, which is important if there is a lack of space in a residential or office space.
