– Unlocked Flip Mobile Phone, M8 FLIP Feature Phone with Big Button and Keyboard, Waterproof/Drop-Proof,SOS,4G Dual SIM, Fast Dialing,104dB Powerful Speaker

Over the moon . Very easy to handle, big buttons with plenty of grip witch is ideal if you work out doors and your hands are wet or cold .

Large buttons and straightforward menus made daily use much less frustrating compared with modern smartphones packed with clutter. Calling people felt quick and uncomplicated, especially with the shortcut buttons already set up. The loud sound helped in noisy places, though tones could become slightly harsh at maximum volume. Build quality felt sturdy enough for accidental drops around the house and garden without worry. Battery lasted several days comfortably, which suited somebody wanting less charging hassle. Texting remained slower than expected because the keypad takes patience, particularly for longer messages. The flip design helped avoid accidental pocket calls, which happened often with older handsets I’ve owned. Practical rather than flashy, though reliability and simplicity carried far more value here than extra features that rarely get used anyway.

I really wanted to like this phone felt like a smartphone detox and remember flip phones fondly, however I don't think I've ever had one as bad as this considering this phone is aimed at an elderly market it's not very user friendly it arrived with the main language being set to German the instruction book is printed so small that it's almost impossible to read. The couple of people that I called to try this out said that it sounded like I was underwater very muffled. And as for the camera I appreciate its only 2 megapixel but I've had plenty of Nokia's that will take a good picture this is totally unusable to the point where you have a job to recognize what you've photographed. Really really disappointed and sending it back.

I like the phone as able to access What's app and keep in contact with my friends and relatives. Good size letters and volume good.

This phone is exactly as the title suggests, rugged and basic, it very much reminds me of the sort of phones I had 15-20 years ago but in a much more rugged body. I can see why phones such as this still have there place, either as an emergency phone or if working on site this is a great work phone option rather than risking your ~£1k smartphone. Unlike some other cheap basic phones I have tried this supports 4G rather than being stuck at 3G which is in the process of being switched off here in the UK. Connectivity is good with reception on a par with much more expensive phones. The flip design is very simple with good large buttons, and although the screen is clear enough it could have been larger with less black space around it which would have allowed for larger text on screen. Battery life is good, just like it used to be all those years ago when phones were simple. Priced at £90 at time of ordering this does feel like a lot for such a basic phone, even though it is very robust.

I’ve been using this AGM M8 flip phone as more of a simple everyday backup/secondary device, and it’s been surprisingly practical for what it is. It feels refreshingly straightforward compared to modern smartphones, with big buttons and a clear layout that makes calling and texting quick without any distractions. What stands out most is how loud the speaker is. It’s genuinely hard to miss calls, even in noisy environments, which gives it a sense of reliability when I just need something that “works” without fuss. The fast dial buttons are also handy and make it easy to reach key contacts without scrolling or searching. It definitely feels built for durability rather than refinement. The rugged design gives some confidence when carrying it around, especially outdoors or in situations where I don’t want to risk my main phone. It’s not sleek, but that’s not really the point of it. Overall, it’s a solid no-nonsense feature phone. It’s not something I’d use as my main device long-term, but as a reliable backup or travel phone, it does its job really well.

Due to cognitive impairment, father struggle with his smartphone. I set this up to hopefully function as a landline and a mobile feature phone. Yes, he can listen to music on it and take photos but basically he just wants it as a phone. I will just mention that someone said they can look at WhatsApp on it – you can't. You can't download apps. In a nutshell, the instructions are rubbish. I had to ask AI how to do a lot of of the functions. Sometimes it was correct. However, once it's set up, it functions quite well. I would say that if you set it up for a senior they might do well with this, but don't just give them the box. Pros: It's rugged, it's waterproof, it's chunky and easy to hold, the numbers are nice and big, the screen is big and bright, it's got memory functions, pa can take it round to the corner shops with him, the ring is loud. I can set this up in its cradle, as a faux landline on the telephone table. Useful tip for seniors: keep it permanently plugged in on a timer so it recharges itself. You can program the SOS button on the side to your phone number or emergency services. The owner cannot get the SIM card out, cover it in hand cream and replace it backward--which is always a bonus. Cons: There are practically no instructions, and what there are a tiny so that I you needed the magnifying glass. It doesn't actually tell you what some of the navigation buttons are for, although it is fairly intuitive. You can't switch off the annoying clunk as it closes. You only have two choices of ringtone. Both annoying. Tips: The on switch is the RED switch. And you have to press it for quite some time before the thing comes on. You have to unscrew the screw on the back of the phone AND pry it open to get the battery in. You can switch off the annoying key stroke noise by going into the Settings menu and switching it to silent. 1 Go to Menu > Settings > Sound. 2 Scroll down until you see Keypad tone (or Keytone). 3 Select it and switch it to Off or Silent. 4 Press OK to confirm. To set the memory functions, you need to go into settings and find Speed dial. 1 Press the main Menu button and navigate to Settings. 2 Scroll down and select Speed Dial. 3 Choose the button you want to change (M1, M2, or M3). 4 Select Edit, type in the new name and number, and hit Save. This is okay – it's doing the job, but I didn't find the set up as easy as I would've liked.

i am quite hard on phones , this one has survived .
