OLED- organic electroluminescent display. Consists of a special thin-film polymer that emits light when exposed to electric field. This type of display has a large reserve of brightness and consumes very little energy.
With 2800 mAh battery. And now the Fly company has decided to replace it with a new model, which is called Fly FF241. The new product has an almost identical battery (2,750 mAh), while the device is one and a half millimeters thinner (14.3 mm versus 15.9 mm), and the stated talk time has increased by an hour (11 hours versus 10 hours for the Fly DS132). Surely no one will argue with the fact that Fly FF241, this fat one, received a more successful design.
Thus, Fly FF241 looks much more attractive, because its price tag is even lower. While the Fly DS132 can be found for 2180-2290 rubles (as of July 2015), the brand new Fly FF241 is already available in Russia at prices ranging from 1890 rubles to 1990 rubles (from $33). It is presented in two colors: black and white.

Has comfortable keyboard with separated keys, the usual 2.4-inch diagonal screen with a standard resolution of 240x320 pixels. The memory can be expanded using a memory card (up to 32 GB is supported), and two SIM cards can be used simultaneously. If you are going to listen to music and store any files on your phone, then you will have to install a memory card, since the available 32 MB in the phone are completely occupied by software Nucleus. There is no memory card included.
The music player in Fly FF241 plays MP3 streams up to 320 kbps. Also supported formats: WAV, AMR, AAC. There is no equalizer in the player. There is FM radio. There are some headphones included. According to the stated specifications, with headphones connected and fully charged batteries, in music playback mode the phone will work up to 65 hours.
The video player plays formats: MP4, 3GP, AVI. In video playback mode, the battery will last approximately 13 hours.
The Fly FF241 phone does not have 3G, Wi-Fi or GPS navigation.
You can access the Internet thanks to GPRS Class 12 support.

It was with them that a new category began wireless devices for communication. Currently, manufacturers have reached great heights. The progress of this type of technology can be seen without even delving into the characteristics and parameters of new devices. Smartphones are equipped with great functionality, have good large screens and a touch keyboard. Also, some models can almost completely replace a PC or laptop. According to experts, the new era of mobile phones was supposed to completely replace devices with mechanical buttons. But such predictions turned out to be wrong. Even in times of innovative technology simple phones are in demand. Proof of this is the Fly FF301 model. When developing it, the manufacturer focused on the main tasks, that is, making calls and sending SMS messages. For these functions, the device provides everything without exception. The first thing required for this type of apparatus is comfortable keys numeric keypad and loud speaker. Of course, a cute design doesn't hurt either. And if all this is provided to the buyer together with a low price (2000-2500 rubles), then we can safely consider it a mobile Fly phone The FF301 is a bargain.
This article will discuss the characteristics of the device. This model can be purchased in white and black. However, there are no differences in the system “stuffing” between them. For this reason, the Black model will serve as a visual aid. Readers will also be able to read reviews from owners. And based on them, draw conclusions about the strengths and weaknesses of the Fly push-button telephone.
Options and packaging
Which box did the manufacturer choose for the Fly FF301? It is unlikely that anyone will be surprised to see the simply designed packaging. Laconism and minimalism are the main elements of its design. White background, the absence of bright colorful inclusions indicates that this phone Not purchased for toys. The manufacturer focused on the ability of the device to work with two SIM cards. Also, the black insert is quite noticeable against the white background. It is used as a place to represent the phone brand name. A photo of the device itself must be used. There are no other elements on the box that deserve the buyer's attention.
Now it’s worth looking inside the packaging of the Fly FF301 gadget. And then it immediately becomes clear to which category this phone can be classified. The standard kit includes such elements as a USB cable, battery, power adapter and, oddly enough, headphones, albeit at an entry level. But, according to many users, they served as a pleasant bonus. There is also a user manual. However, the phone is so easy to use that it is unlikely that anyone will use the instructions. But what is really worth paying attention to is the warranty card. It must be filled out in accordance with all the rules on the day of purchase.
Design Features
How will buyers see the Fly FF301 mobile phone (Black or White)? Simple, but quite elegant. Externally, there is a sense of rigor in the design, especially if we're talking about about the model with a black body. Plastic was chosen as the material for the main panels. You shouldn’t get upset ahead of time, as this has its advantages. First of all, let's pay attention to the build quality. According to most reviews, there are no comments about it. Creaks, crunches and play are completely absent. The gaps are minimal, the covers and panels do not wobble.
Also, thanks to plastic, the Fly FF301 phone turned out to be quite light. With dimensions of 12.9 × 5.7 × 1.2 cm, it weighs only 104 g. This result can be considered, even by modern standards, not bad at all. Considering the considerable height of the case (almost 13 cm), the developers were able to use a fairly large screen for a push-button phone. It occupies approximately 2/3 of the front surface. The location of the speaker and microphone for conversations is standard, so there is no point in going into detail about them. All mechanical buttons are located on the front panel. They consist of two blocks: digital and control keys. The Fly FF301 keyboard received only praise. All owners, without exception, highlight the large size of the buttons, especially the convenient joystick. The soft keys did not go unnoticed. They are quite convenient to use, so the risk of accidentally pressing another button is practically minimized. Since this phone model does not have the usual buttons located on the side faces, all options are programmed under the keyboard keys. For example, the volume is adjusted using the top and bottom arrows of the joystick.
On the back panel the user will see a fairly large hole for the output speaker. At first glance, you can be sure that this model does not have any problems with sound. There is an LED flash next to it, which also serves as a flashlight. Of course, there is also a camera lens framed by a chrome rim. A huge advantage back cover Fly FF301 Black is a matte surface. Users claim that it is not easily soiled, although it is black. There are practically no fingerprints left.
As for the main connectors, all of them ( USB port and audio) are displayed at the bottom end. It’s difficult to call this arrangement convenient, so the owners’ attitude towards them is more neutral, although when connecting headphones on the street, certain inconveniences may appear.
Display Specifications
A significant advantage of any push-button phone is its large screen. In this model it has a diagonal size of 3 inches. The display is made using TFT technology. A typical "state employee" - the Fly FF301 phone - is capable of displaying an image with a resolution of 320 × 240 pixels. We immediately draw the attention of buyers to the fact that miracles do not happen, so you should not count on great screen characteristics. Color rendering is low. There is blurriness and graininess. The pixel density indicator, which is 133 ppi, allows you to judge the image quality. Owners are also not very clear about viewing angles. good opinion. Even at a slight tilt, the information on the screen becomes completely unreadable. You shouldn’t count on comfortable viewing of videos or music videos, as the picture will be displayed rather faded and dim.
But the brightness level reserve deserves praise. It is quite enough to optimally adjust the phone depending on the ambient lighting. This function is easy to control, so if you need to save battery power, you can always reduce the brightness to a minimum, which will extend the operation of the device for several hours.
Hardware "stuffing"
The “brain” of the Fly FF301 phone is the SC6531DA processor. The chipset itself is quite weak. The computing module is capable of operating at a frequency of 312 MHz. Buyers have no complaints about the operation of the system, since initially the device was not designed to perform a large volume of various tasks. Basically, the hardware is sufficient for quickly viewing menus and built-in software. Problems can only arise when working with resource-intensive Internet pages.
The volume of both RAM and internal memory is 32 MB. By modern standards, such storage is difficult to take seriously, so the developers installed a slot for a memory card. The device can work without problems with external drives up to 32 GB.
Camera
There is no point in spending a long time on the camera of this model, since its resolution is too low. Optics in FF301 - definitely weak side. The developers used a 1.3 megapixel matrix. You can’t take high-quality photos with it; the presence of a flash doesn’t even help the situation. You can also record video, but its resolution will not exceed 320x240 px.
Software
Fly FF301 Black phone will not please the user a large number built-in applications. The list of options consists of several items: a calculator, a service for accessing the Internet, a converter, a flashlight, an alarm clock and, of course, standard ( phone book, timer, music player).
I would like to pay special attention to the flash. It is not able to improve the quality of photographs, but it copes with the role of a flashlight perfectly. For example, in a dark entrance it will be quite enough.
Autonomy
The phone runs on a lithium-ion battery. Its capacity is 1450 mAh. Users can expect 15 days of standby time. An active conversation will drain the battery in 5 hours. In any case, owners with an average load may not charge the device for 3-4 days.
Fly FF301: reviews
Praiseful reviews of the device are left by those customers who purchased it for calls and messages. Of course, you shouldn’t count on more functionality. The advantages include a loud speaker, build quality, and battery life.
The disadvantages of the phone, according to many, are relatively insignificant for a dialer. The greatest inconvenience is the lack of typing using T9 and Java support. Another significant drawback was the camera resolution.
Conclusion
In the process of reviewing the modest Fly FF301 Black push-button phone, both disadvantages and advantages were discovered. Most users believe that such a device is perfect for older people who cannot use smart smartphones. Although the functionality of this model is quite limited, it is the best device in price category It is quite difficult to find up to 2500 rubles for making calls.
In the era of sophisticated and complex gadgets, they still do not lose their relevance. push-button phones. The Fly FF301 model is intended for people who mobile device First of all, calls are important, and then everything else. Fully meets these requirements this device: nice design, comfortable keys, minimal functionality and, most importantly, low and affordable price make it very attractive for undemanding users.
Equipment
In addition to the device itself, the box with the device includes a headset, which is also an antenna for the FM receiver installed in the gadget. Here are the other components that the Fly FF301 phone contains: instructions, certificate and charger.
Appearance
The body of the device is made of plastic and has a strict and attractive appearance. The user will be able to choose one of two color options: black or white. The assembly of the Fly FF301 is very high quality, the design does not play or wobble, and it is also worth noting the minimal gaps.
The front panel contains a display, a speaker for conversations and keys. The buttons are large enough, so the risk of making a mistake when typing is minimal. The navigation joystick and keys responsible for basic controls turned out to be quite convenient.
On the back of the device there is a camera, a flash that also acts as a flashlight, and a music speaker. There are no side keys in the gadget.
The top part of the device is empty like the sides; at the bottom there is a socket and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
The overall dimensions of the device are 56.8x129x11.8 mm, weight - 104 g. Cell phone Fly FF301 fits comfortably in your hand and does not slip out, and there are no fingerprints left on the matte surface of the case.
Screen
The size of the Fly FF301 TFT display is 3 inches, resolution -240x320 pixels. With such a number of pixels, you shouldn’t expect any miracles in terms of color reproduction. The settings allow you to adjust the backlight level - this is useful when the brightness needs to be reduced to extend battery life.
The viewing angles turned out to be very poor: when looking at the screen from the side, it is almost impossible to make out the contents. The colors are very pale and inconspicuous, so you won’t be able to fully enjoy the video or picture.
As for the screen proportions, they are chosen almost perfectly for such a phone. The display looks quite large and contains a large amount of information. This will be a plus when viewing Internet pages or any document.
Fly FF301: characteristics and technical capabilities
Since the Fly FF301 mobile phone is not particularly designed for any extraneous tasks, with the exception of calls and SMS messages, the processor installed here is very modest: its clock frequency only 312 MHz. However, navigating through menu items and using certain standard options is quite simple and convenient: the system does not slow down or freeze. The processor quickly processes photos taken by the camera. If the user nevertheless decides to access the Internet using this device, he will have problems loading heavy, resource-intensive web pages.
As for the memory for data storage, the device has only 32 MB installed by default. With such a hard drive you won’t even be able to take a photo with a resolution of 1.3 megapixels. A memory card, the connector for which is located inside the phone under the battery, will help correct the situation. The gadget is capable of recognizing flash drives up to 32 GB in size. The Fly FF301 phone has Bluetooth for data transfer.
A nice feature is the ability to connect two SIM cards at once. Their connectors are located next to the memory card slot. This will allow you to use your phone for communication even more efficiently by installing, say, two cards different operators or different tariffs.
Camera
You can’t really count on the quality of the optics: what is 1.3 megapixels these days? If the developers had equipped the device with autofocus, then outdoors in good lighting it would have been possible to take not the worst pictures, but due to its absence, the image quality looks terrible. Only portraits and panoramas are tolerably produced, and even then only for viewing on a small screen.
The flash is more suitable as a flashlight, since this LED is unable to adequately illuminate the area in which the photograph is being taken. The image always turns out dark and of poor quality, so if you take photographs with such a camera, it is best to do it outdoors on a clear sunny day.
The phone is also capable of shooting videos with a resolution of 320x240, but their quality clearly leaves much to be desired.
Among other camera functions, there are brightness and contrast settings and various filters: black and white, sepia and others.
Sound
Fly FF301 boasts a very loud and clear speaker. This makes it almost impossible to miss an important call or oversleep on your way to work without hearing the alarm. The audio system functions well and produces quite decent sound quality for a device in the budget category.
The audio player plays MP3, but to download tracks the user needs to purchase a memory card, which, unfortunately, is not included. Musical compositions listened to through the headset have a standard sound.
For those who like to spend time enjoying radio stations, the developers have installed an FM receiver. The antenna for it is the headset, so without its connection, activating the radio is impossible.
Applications
The set of pre-installed applications is very sparse: we only have a calculator, a flashlight and a converter at our disposal. The flash, although unsuitable for illuminating photographs, does a good job as a flashlight that can illuminate a small area. So, in those cases when you need to find the keys to your apartment in your bag while in a dark entrance, you can completely count on your phone.
In the “Services” section there is an option to access the Internet. You won’t be able to access the World Wide Web fully on such a device, but you can look through some simple pages, which do not require a large amount of system resources, is quite possible.
Mobile phone Fly FF301 black has three alarm clocks, for which you can set melodies yourself; there is also a timer, world time and other unimportant options.
Battery
One of the greatest strengths of the gadget is lithium ion battery capacity 1450 mAh. In talk mode, it can work up to 5 hours, and in standby mode - up to 400 hours. Music lovers will be pleased with the fact that you can listen to songs in the device’s player for up to 35 hours without additional recharging. The modest screen “eats” the battery very slowly, so there is extremely little chance that at the most unexpected moment you will find yourself with zero charge.
Model and firmware price
The average cost of a phone starts from 1990 and reaches approximately 2390 rubles. If some problems occur with the device system (it starts to work unstable, glitches, or the device completely fails), then in special workshops the firmware for the Fly FF301 will cost about 1000 rubles. The work time in each service depends on the level of employment of specialists. Another question: does it make sense to pay almost half the cost of a new device for firmware? It’s not a fact that after it the phone will work like new. In such cases, the easiest way is to purchase another device.
Conclusion
Another one with modest characteristics. Among the advantages, it is worth highlighting the attractive design, high-quality assembly, capacious battery, low price, loud speaker and the ability to work with two SIM cards at once. The disadvantages include a frankly weak camera, a faded screen with poor viewing angles, low resolution and a negligible amount of the device’s “native” memory, which is why, in addition to the device, the user is forced to immediately purchase a memory card.
Fly FF301: customer reviews
Almost all users praise the device’s body: they consider it quite attractive, thin and comfortable. There are no complaints about the design of the device.
There are mixed opinions about the screen: some believe that the display is quite passable for the money, others criticize the small, low-quality font and poor viewing angles.
The sound of the device impressed many owners. Users admit that they did not expect such a high-quality speaker from a budget category model. The speaker is also good: it does not wheeze and produces loud sound, so the interlocutor can be heard clearly and clearly.
The lack of T9 and Java support has confused some customers, but if they consider this a disadvantage, it is a small one.
Almost everyone criticizes the camera. There are not enough pixels to take a decent picture, and the poor photo quality is due to the lack of autofocus. However, there are those who believe that for 2000 rubles you shouldn’t expect more from a camera, and it makes no sense to attribute it to an obvious disadvantage.
Many people are satisfied with the set of pre-installed applications that allow them to cope with simple tasks. The browser seemed to the owners to be too slow. In isolated cases, incorrect operation of the alarm clock was noted: in some cases it rings, in others it does not.
Users unanimously consider battery life to be an indisputable advantage of the model. You can listen to the radio and player all the time without fear of losing charge at the most inopportune moment. In standby mode, the phone lasts up to 400 hours.
Users praise the ability to work with two SIM cards at once. Some people switch cards from two to this model and claim that making calls this way is much easier and more convenient.
Noted good interaction phone from a PC: connects quickly, data is transferred without problems - Bluetooth also works properly.
There were also those owners who doted on the Fly FF301. Their reviews say that the price-quality criterion not only justified itself, but also exceeded all expectations. The phone amount suits me, required set functions are present, the battery lasts a long time, the speaker is loud - what more can you ask for from an ordinary dialer?
Owners advise that when purchasing a phone, purchase it immediately protective film for the screen, since it gets very scratched and the marks remain very noticeable. But as for the case, the matte surface practically eliminates the visibility of fingerprints and is difficult to scratch.
They criticize the small capacity of the telephone card: there are only 100 numbers, and only one number can be assigned to each of them. In addition, users are confused by the lack of an MMS function.
