Title: Great, simple, smartphone
Review: This phone is great for elderly people or in my case, a parent with dementia. My mum was struggling to use her existing smart phone. This phone is very easy to set up and keeps things extremely simple with large icons that are easy to understand what they mean.You can set numbers up as favourites then add a picture so that when the front cover is closed, the picture is shown and the user just has to press the picture for them to call the relevant number The text is adjustable but very large and easy to see. Whilst the phone does have an alarm that can be used for SOS emergencies I have not yet use this as my mum is in a care home. I would definitely recommend for anybody who might have site or hearing impairments or a neurological disorder whereby their memory perhaps , is poor or they have some difficulty in negotiating technology. The phone is reasonable size without being too large that it makes it difficult to put into a bag or pocket. The camera is reasonable although obviously not the best on the market. Battery life is generally very good obviously this depends on usage. With basic usage, I would say it would last between 2 to 3 days between recharges . I’m very pleased with this phone and my mum is too. I definitely recommend and would say it is good value for money.

Title: Screen is very sensitive
Review: I bought this for an older person in decline as it has a lovely simple interface with big select buttons, thinking it would be perfect for her.The phone is very well made and looks great. The screen is bright and responsive. Unfortunately too responsive in this case. She keeps touching the screen during calls and we are cut off?I put the wonderful phone cover on (best one I have seen) but for some reason she cannot simply slide the magnetic catch off to open it. I found her trying to open it with her fingernails.Had to take it off and go back to the basic back cover.She can make simple calls from the phone book but as soon as she is confronted with these automated “press 1 for…. “etc. Thats it, no good. Showed her how to bring the key pad up but she is all fingers and thumbs. I will just have to face it, she has gone too far now. Even this phone can’t work miracles.This phone is really lovely but it’s a bit limited in the settings side of things. Links up to broadband nicely for useful searching on the go.One thing that is not good is the volume. It has to be turned up to full.

Title: Fabulous easy to use smart phone
Review: My previous smart phone played so many dirty tricks on me that it nearly put me off smart phones for life.Then I found great reviews that the Emporia Smart 5 was the easiest to use smart phone for people that have had previous bad experiences with smart phones, so I decided to buy one.I am delighted with my new Emporia Smart 5, which has a very simple and logical layout, which has been very well thought out by the designers, especially with senior citizens in mind.I particularly like the buttons on the outer cover, which let you to accept and end phone calls, without having to search through various screens trying to accept the phone call.I could carry on all day in praising this smart phone – so, let’s just conclude, it’s excellent and I love it.

Title: Well thought out mostly
Review: Bought for 80+ yr old. Answering calls is easy with the physical button like feature on the cover and the simple touch green rectangle if using the screen without cover. Swiping to answer was a major issue with previous smartphones. The buttons however sometimes dont press consistently for him. The 4 buttons on the cover can also be customised to have the pics of 4 contacts to use like a speed dial. When not in use, the screen and the buttons remain black/asleep. We wish the buttons would remain illuminated even when the screen is asleep. Otherwise the cover has to be opened and closed or the power button has to be pressed first to activate the 4 faces.The emporia apps for email, calls, contacts, Internet are nicely simplified. The homepage is customisable to whatever apps you want. We have the dialer, email, news and you tube. But we keep long pressing the apps leading to a pop up to change the app. Wish we could lick the desktop/homepage apps. He does still accidentally have his thumb over the screen causing inadvertent touches too. A stylus pen has helped with this. We wish this was included and attached.The side power button is red but for us its too small to find and press. He ends up pressing the cover clasp.Its day 3 of having the phone and answering/receiving phones is still a bit hit and miss but getting better. Perhaps will need a bit more time to get used to it.The docking charger is easy, the phone glides in and lays perfectly.This is a good way to transition from a flip phone to a smart phone.

Title: Emporia for the non techno types
Review: I always buy emporia.at my age its hard to cope with modern phones but emporia are like stabilisers when learning to ride a bike.I find it much easier to learn how to use these phones ….its been two years and I couldn’t have got far enough to write this without their training apps the batteries last well and I advocate anyone over 40 starting with a smartphone choose this product.Amazon deliver fast and securely with code number too.

Title: Too complicated
Review: When the whole premise is to be a simple phone it confuses things with the buttons on the cover and the operating system also the PRIVACY agreement that you must agree with, why should they snoop around your phone when you are not downloading apps!

Review: Ich habe das Seniorenhandy für mein 81 jährigen Vater gekauft. Er hat schon stark Arthrose in den Fingern. Das Handy ist genial. Übersichtlich und sehr große Apps. Gut zu bedienen und ein tolles Notrufsystem. Er ist begeistert und ich kann es für ältere Menschen nur empfehlen.

Review: Smartphone compatible 5G livré avec une coque de protection, une station de chargement et son câble USB, une épingle pour ouvrir le tiroir à carte SIM et un manuel d’utilisation. Ce dernier est bien réalisé : il est proposé avec la langue française, les écritures sont assez épaisses et les illustrations permettent de bien comprendre le fonctionnement général du téléphone.Ce smartphone a la particularité de proposer l’interface Android (“Quickstep”) mais aussi une interface pour les personnes âgées (“emporia”). La bascule d’une interface à l’autre est assez simple. En mode “emporia”, la navigation sur le smartphone est bien lisible avec le système de grande tuiles, aussi bien sur la page d’accueil que dans les menus.En ce qui concerne les caractéristiques du téléphone, on a un processeur MediaTek Dimensity 700 épaulé par 6 Go de mémoire vive et 128 Go de stockage. Un emplacement pour carte micro SD est bien présent afin d’étendre le stockage de l’appareil.J’apprécie la coque de protection fournie avec le téléphone car elle permet de prendre les appels sans l’ouvrir, une partie de l’écran étant accessible pour décrocher ou raccrocher. L’accroche au réseau est plutôt bonne et les finitions sont excellentes.
