At the flea market, you can buy not only retro items for the collection, but also quite usable devices. I bought two phones, Nokia for 100 rubles turned out to be just great.
Recently I talked about the flea market "Retro" at the Crystal factory (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1311446.html). I bought a working Soviet calculator there for 100 rubles (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1311640.html), a small LATR for 500 rubles (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1302790.html), which, unfortunately, turned out to be burned out (most likely it can be repaired, but not yet).
I also bought two phones there. ZTE F327 cost me 200 rubles (price 400, 50% discount on the promotion). The excellent Nokia 215 Dual Sim cost only 100 rubles (it was lying in a box with old phones without a battery, there was also a box from it and, to my happiness, a separately lying battery).
ZTE released at the end of 2016. It is dual-sim with 3G support, it works exactly a week from one charge. Unfortunately, half of the buttons are poorly pressed (they only work when pressed hard, most likely the phone was flooded with something like sweet tea). Probably you can try to fix it, but you can use it in the answering mode for calls.
Nokia was made in 2015. It is also dual-sim, works only in 2G. The condition is perfect, it works 12 days from one charge (at the same time, I also talked on it ten times). The sound quality of the conversation is excellent.
Both phones have cameras (you can’t even remember any photo quality, but for technical shooting will do), there are Internet browsers, there are even now useless Facebook, Messenger and Twitter. There's FM radio, headphone jacks, Bluetooth, and microSD card slots so the phones can be used as an MP3 player. Nokia has a flashlight.
It is important that the charging connectors for both phones are MicroUSB (many have already forgotten, but earlier each manufacturer had its own non-standard connector).
I think that in our difficult time, phones that work for more than a week on a single charge can come in handy.
And if they don’t come in handy (which I really hope for), it’s convenient to use them as auxiliary ones.
Peace for everyone!
