Which mobile phone is best for older people?

At Axarfusion we take care of all our clients, regardless of their age. We believe that age is simply a number when it comes to using technology. The important thing is to have as much information as possible to know how to use it.

What to consider when choosing a mobile phone for an elderly person?

It is important to be aware that in most cases, older people are new to technology and have certain characteristics that make it more difficult for them to adapt, such as poor hearing, poor eyesight or poor memory. Fortunately, there are terminals that meet these needs.
There are mobile phone manufacturers specialising in devices for the elderly, something we should be grateful for. What do these manufacturers think a mobile phone for the elderly should have? The following are the main characteristics that a terminal intended for this audience should have:
– It cannot be too big or too small, the size should be standard to make it more comfortable.
– The phone screen should be large for easy viewing.
– If it is touch-sensitive, it shall have the option of keyboard vibration.
– If it has keys, they should be as large and conspicuous as possible.
– It will always be better if the charger is a base charger.
– The battery should be optimal.
– There should be an option to enlarge the applications as well as the letters.
– For people with impaired hearing it is recommended to use a terminal with voice keys.
– SOS button.

What are the most common brands of mobile phones for older people?

The brands most used by older people are Alcatel, TTfone, Funker, Wiko, Samsung, SPC and Nokia.
