Feature phones have fallen out of fashion as most people reach for smartphones, but they remain a solid choice if you're looking for a simple, no-frills device. The $50 Doro PhoneEasy 626 on Consumer Cellular is an inexpensive, easy-to-use flip phone with great call quality. If all you need is a phone to call and text, the 626 fits the bill perfectly. But if you also want to keep in touch via email and video calls, you're better off with a smartphone like our Editors' Choice, the Doro 824 SmartEasy.

Design and Features

The PhoneEasy 626 is a clamshell phone that comes in black, burgundy, or silver; we tested the burgundy model. Coming in at 4.02 by 2.05 by 0.75 inches (HWD) and 3.67 ounces, it's about the same size as the older Doro PhoneEasy 618 (4.0 by 2.1 by 0.9 inches; 4.05 ounces) but half an ounce lighter. It's easy to use one-handed.
