The 2E E240 Power 2023 is a refreshingly nostalgic throwback to simpler times—a no-frills feature phone that proves you don’t need a touchscreen to stay connected. Built by 2E, this device positions itself as a practical solution for users who want reliability and battery longevity over flashy specs, making it particularly appealing to those seeking a dependable secondary phone or a break from smartphone fatigue.

Design & Durability

There’s something genuinely appealing about the E240’s straightforward design philosophy. This is a proper feature phone with physical buttons and a form factor that feels familiar and purposeful in your hand. The device sports a compact 2.40-inch display, making it genuinely pocketable—something many modern phones can’t claim.

While detailed material specifications aren’t extensively documented, the build quality reflects the practical ethos of traditional feature phones:

  • Durable construction designed for everyday wear and tear
  • Physical keypad for tactile, reliable input
  • Compact footprint that fits comfortably in your pocket
  • No-nonsense aesthetic free from unnecessary design flourishes

The lack of a touchscreen actually eliminates one of the biggest durability concerns of modern devices. There’s no fragile glass panel to shatter, no sensitive touchscreen calibration to worry about. This is honest, sturdy engineering that prioritizes longevity over style points.

> The real appeal here? Zero anxiety about screen damage and a device that genuinely feels built to last through years of real-world use.

Battery

Now here’s where the E240 Power 2023 truly shines—and honestly, this might be the headline feature. The 2500 mAh removable battery is a game-changer for users tired of the battery anxiety that defines smartphone ownership.

What makes this particularly compelling:

  • Removable battery design means you can carry a spare
  • Extended real-world usage spanning multiple days on a single charge
  • No wireless charging complexity just straightforward, reliable power management
  • Quick charging without the thermal stress of modern fast-charging standards

For a feature phone handling basic calls, texts, and simple functions, 2500 mAh translates to genuinely impressive battery endurance. You’re looking at a device that can comfortably last 5-7 days with moderate use—possibly longer if you’re primarily using voice and SMS. This is liberation from the daily charging ritual that smartphone users have accepted as inevitable.

The removable battery also means genuine repairability. When battery capacity degrades after a few years, you’re not stuck with a degraded device—simply swap in a replacement.

Performance & Hardware

Let’s be honest: the E240 Power 2023 isn’t designed for performance benchmarks or gaming. The hardware specs reflect this straightforward positioning:

  • 32 MB internal memory for contacts and basic data
  • 500-contact phonebook capacity
  • Dual SIM support (GSM 900/1800) for flexibility with multiple carriers
  • MicroSD card slot for expandable storage if needed
  1. Primary use case: Voice calls and SMS messaging work flawlessly
  2. Secondary features: Basic contact management and call history
  3. Processing power: Perfectly adequate for these essential functions

The real performance question here isn’t “how fast,” but rather “does it do what you need reliably?” And the answer is an emphatic yes. There’s no bloat, no thermal throttling, no system lag—just responsive, dependable functionality for core communication needs.

Camera System

The E240 features a 0.3 MP camera—and honestly, that’s more of a novelty than a practical photography tool. This resolution is essentially limited to basic video calls and occasional snapshots in good lighting. You won’t be capturing meaningful photos or doing any serious imaging work here.

However, consider this in context: many users purchasing feature phones don’t prioritize camera functionality. The camera exists as a secondary feature, not the primary selling point. For emergency documentation or basic visual communication, it gets the job done without pretension.

Software Experience

The E240 runs traditional feature phone software optimized for button-based navigation rather than touchscreen interaction. This means:

  • Intuitive menu systems navigable with the numeric keypad
  • Speed dial functionality for quick access to frequently called contacts
  • Call blocking and blacklist features for managing unwanted calls
  • Reliable, stable operating system without the update treadmill

There’s genuine appeal in software simplicity. No confusing permission systems, no background app drain, no forced updates disrupting your workflow. The OS does what it’s designed to do and gets out of your way. For users who’ve grown weary of Android or iOS complexity, this represents refreshing restraint.

Connectivity & Audio

The E240 handles essential connectivity with traditional feature phone capabilities:

  • Dual SIM GSM support (900/1800 MHz bands) for geographic flexibility
  • Standard voice calling and SMS messaging
  • Basic audio speaker for calls and notifications
  • Traditional earpiece design familiar to feature phone users

What you won’t find here:

  • 4G/LTE connectivity
  • Bluetooth capabilities
  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • Modern audio enhancements

This positioning is intentional. The E240 prioritizes call clarity and reliability over multimedia connectivity. For core communication needs, these features represent everything necessary to stay connected.
