Phones Made Easy For The Elderly
Whereas smartphones were once considered a luxury, for many people now, they’re a necessity and are a part of everyday life.
Smartphones are great for staying in touch with friends and family, we can use them to do our shopping and banking, and a whole lot more besides.
As great as smartphones are, they are pretty advanced gadgets, which is why some seniors tend to struggle with them. Not only that, the screen sizes aren’t always the biggest, so for seniors with poor eyesight, they can make life difficult.
The good news, however, is that big phone screen sizes are available and are becoming increasingly popular. These tend can be much more suitable for seniors, provided you choose the right ones.
To help make selection easier, we’ll now be listing 3 of the best big-screen senior smartphones.
Nokia revolutionized mobile phones in the late 90s and 2000s, and if it wasn’t for Nokia, we may not even have smartphones at all.
The great thing about Nokia devices is the fact that they’re so user-friendly and so easy to use. The Nokia 3.4 is no exception, and is the perfect budget smartphone for seniors.
It features a large phone screen at 6.39 inches, with a 720p display, 32GB of storage, and a simple but effective user-friendly design. The phone itself is basic, so it doesn’t have many features, but for a senior, this could be a blessing as simplicity is key.
The camera quality isn’t the best, but with such a large display screen and the price, the phone itself really cannot be beaten.
As you can see from the name, the GrandPad tablet is designed specifically with seniors in mind. While it is technically not a phone, it is a great senior smart device with a large screen and plenty of useful features.
The 8-inch display is one of the biggest you can get and is fully HD. The menu buttons are large and easy to read, and the device itself charges wirelessly on its docking station, so there’s no need to worry about wires and cables.
Not only does the GrandPad allow seniors to stay in touch with friends and family via calls, text messages, and email, it also supports popular social media sites. This is one of the most user-friendly devices for seniors we’ve come across so far, and it’s also one of the most popular.
Another smartphone designed with seniors in mind is the Samsung Galaxy A32.
The A32 has a very impressive 6.5 inch LCD display, so the big phone screen is very readable, even for seniors who really struggle with their eyesight.
The Samsung A32 features 4K video capturing capabilities, a hefty 64GB of storage, a headphone port, a 13MP front camera, along with a 48/8MP rear camera for taking detailed photos with.
This is one of the more advanced smartphones for seniors, but it still isn’t overly complex and because of its bulky size and large display, it’s a fantastic option. It’s even 5G ready.
As you can see, plenty of large-screen phones are suitable for seniors, all very reasonably priced and packed full of features.
If you’re on the hunt for a large screen phone for seniors, hopefully the 3 options above have proved useful.
