What is the problem with modern attempts to reincarnate push-button phones? They are all on Android, with a bunch of security holes. There are entire Chinese series that steal money and user data and brazenly send SMS secretly.

Those who are really smart and want to have a push-button phone for reliable dual authorization via SMS on the main smartphone (only morons accept dual authorization SMS on the same phone where there is access to online banking and the login and password have already been entered) are looking for old models of push-button phones released before 2010-2011. They are reliable and not on Android. They do not have malicious Trojans in the firmware, especially from well-known brands.

Now you can organize a new profitable business simply by selling old push-button branded phones - they are very popular with adequate people and therefore in huge shortage. Now many are biting their lips, who threw away the old push-button phone.

Although in some countries GSM/2G/3G networks have already been switched off, so, unfortunately, the good old and reliable push-button models will no longer work there....

This one here runs an OS based on Mocor, which is a proprietary one made for and by Unisoc/Spreadtrum, not Android.

But it still sucks either way. Bring back Symbian and we will talk.

This is a pointless request. It is easier for you, as I suggested, to find old reliable push-button models in good condition on the secondary market and replace the battery. Good batteries for old models are still available for sale. And replacing it there is easy.

The only obstacle is if 2G/3G networks are no longer supported in your country. Then this is a sad compulsion to use new 100% security-poor models.
