Motorola again began to produce its MOTOFONE F3, an inexpensive phone with an e-ink display.

This "old man", called MOTOFONE F3, is equipped with only basic functions, without any connections to the Network and the ability to synchronize data with online services. No, this device does what the phone should do: it can be used to make calls, send SMS, receive a signal about the arrival of messages and save contacts in the phone book. Yes, there is still an alarm clock, but that's all.

As mentioned above, the display on this phone is not TFT or AMOLED. This is a segmented e-ink that consumes an extremely small amount of energy (compared to a conventional display). It can also be assumed that the display is equipped with a backlight, otherwise using the phone in the dark becomes impossible. Thanks to e-ink This phone can “live” on a single battery charge for about 2 weeks (in standby mode). If the phone is turned off, the battery will last for several months.

With all this, the phone is very light (only 68 grams), thin (9 mm) and sufficiently protected from external influences. It is protected from shock, dust and moisture. The keyboard on the phone is of a closed type, so you can pour beer on the surface, even water, it will not cause any harm to the device. Another nice thing is that the speaker on the phone is very loud, which can be useful in some cases. Probably, this phone will be a good gift to hunters / fishermen and other lovers of outdoor recreation. In addition, this device can also be useful for older people.

And finally, the price issue. The cost of the MOTOFONE F3 phone is only $ 25, it is sold without being tied to any operator, and you can buy it even now.
