A phone for an elderly person is not a luxury, but an urgent need. With it, he can contact his relatives at any time of the day. For such devices, completely different requirements are put forward when choosing, and they must be taken into account without fail.
Requirements
Elderly phone must meet certain requirements. Among them are:
- large screen with large text;
- simplicity and clarity of the interface;
- big buttons.
Another condition is the maximum battery life. For example, a grandfather or grandmother decided to go to friends, but the charger was forgotten at home. If their mobile phone can be without charging for a long time, then there will be no problems. And so you have to return, which is not very convenient.
Model Overview
As part of this review, consider the following models:
- Just5 CP10;
- myPhone 1082;
- Fly Ezzy4.
Each of them is positioned by the manufacturer as a "phone for the elderly". Looking at their appearance, one can agree with this statement. Large buttons, large text on the screen - all this is in these models. With the reception and sending of SMS, as well as with calls, they will cope without problems. Their menu is simple and intuitive, so parity is also maintained here. But their screens are different. Two of them are colored (Fly Ezzy4 and myPhone 1082), one is monochrome (Just5 CP10). It is better to distinguish characters on the display of the second type, so the last of them already has a certain advantage. Next, we turn our attention to the battery. Fly Ezzy4 and Just5 CP10 have 1000 mAh, and myPhone 1082 has 200 mAh less. All this allows them to work on average without recharging, respectively, 5 hours, 8 hours and 5 hours. As you can see, here the CP10 compares favorably with competitors.
Among the additional equipment, it is worth highlighting the presence of a memory card slot for Fly and myPhone, as well as a camera for the first one. Not a completely justified solution (camera), at least for our country - it is unlikely that most of the elderly people in our country will be able to use it. Also, all of them are equipped with an FM receiver, and Fly also has an MP3 player. It is difficult to attribute them to advantages or disadvantages. How often and whether our pensioners will be able to use these functions at all is a big question, which is difficult to give an unambiguous answer.
Choice
Comparing the specifications, you can choose a phone for the elderly, whichbest suited for these purposes. In terms of ergonomics and design, all models are similar, and there is no clear leader here. But the screen is best in Just5 CP10. It is monochrome and the information will be best seen on it in any weather conditions.
A similar situation with the battery. In terms of volume, it is the same as the Ezzy4, but a more modest display will allow it to do twice as long without recharging. Therefore, Just5 CP10 is the best phone among the reviewed models for the elderly. Its price is slightly higher than that of competitors, but its advantages more than compensate for it. So you can safely buy this device - it will not disappoint you. This is the perfect gift for a grandpa or grandma.
CV
The phone for the elderly should be simple and reliable. At the same time, it can have a minimum set of functions and have a long battery life. Just5 CP10 meets these requirements in the best way. It is this one that is recommended to buy.
