MaxCom Classic MM236

Technical specifications

Advantages: inexpensive and attractive. It has everything a simple and inexpensive phone should have. Disadvantages: almost imperceptible vibration, slightly weak audibility during calls, although sufficient, small internal memory of the phone, one needs to add their own. Volume buttons on the casing would be useful, but it can be permanently set in the Profile. In summary: I recommend it if someone wants to buy at a low price. However, it seems to me that it is better to pay more and have a more solid phone, a stronger battery and at least perceptible vibrations, because those in this phone practically do not exist, which bothers me slightly. As a phone for a senior, I would not recommend it, because there are better ones on the market, you just have to pay more for quality. This one is one of the cheapest and, from what I have noticed, very popular because of that. It will serve well as a second backup phone and perhaps for a child, although for a child I would buy a waterproof and drop-resistant one. MaxCom has such models in its offer. Overall, it is good, although it could be better.

After a few months, the phone breaks at the joint of the keyboard. The keyboard failed after a year of use. The warranty claim was rejected, allegedly due to mechanical damage, which in my opinion is the result of poor material quality. The phone was used as a home phone and was not carried in a pocket, for instance, which could have broken it. It is not even worth the price.

The phone is visually very appealing, but unfortunately of poor quality. It broke in half, and eventually stopped working altogether, likely due to the battery, which cannot be replaced anyway as a new one is unavailable. Since it failed just over a year after purchase, the rating is negative.
