Panasonic’s KX-TF400 is a no nonsense 4G feature phone for people who want to make calls, send texts and not deal with extra fluff. It’s all about being dependable and durable, a break from all the complicated gadgets. At €49.90 ($58.35) and with a battery that goes and goes, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable sidekick.
Panasonic built a phone that’s small and tough. 5.2 x 2.2 x 0.57 inches and 3.88 ounces with the battery, it fits in a pocket or bag. The rounded edges make it comfortable to hold and it’s tough enough for everyday life, IP44 rated to shrug off dust and light splashes. Whether you’re in a dirty workshop or caught in the rain, this phone will hold up. “The model TF400 of Panasonic is a compact and intuitive device, making the upgrade easy,” a Panasonic spokesperson said, highlighting its role as a trusty companion in a 2G world.

The 2.4 inch color screen is tiny compared to modern phones but clear and easy to read, big text for older users. The keypad has well spaced buttons with bold numbers and symbols so you won’t misdial or struggle with texts. A central menu button gives quick access to the phone’s main features: texting, basic camera and LED flashlight.
Where the KX-TF400 stands out is its simplicity. It supports 4G with Voice over LTE (VoLTE), so you’ll get clear calls as the 2G networks disappear in Europe. The battery is a highlight, up to 5 hours of talktime or 200 hours – over 8 days – on standby. That’s a throwback to when phones didn’t need to be charged every night. “A phone without frills for today and tomorrow,” Panasonic calls it.
Even with its old school feel, the KX-TF400 has some modern touches. Bluetooth to connect wireless earbuds and a 3.5mm headphone jack with dust cover. A basic camera for quick snaps for reminders or texting. Nano SIM and microSD cards up to 32GB for extra storage of contacts or photos. Fast charging through USB-C to charge quickly.
Its basic camera is good for quick snaps but not much more. No web browser or Wi-Fi is intentional but might feel limiting for some. Compared to other feature phones like the Nokia 105 4G or HMD 130 Music, this doesn’t have loudspeakers or music features.
