Doro 6520 7118 ​Flip Mobile Phone for Elderly with Large Screen, Big Talking Number Keys and Assistance Button (Graphite/White)

Product Information

The extra features and well-spaced keys also make it a strong choice for the elderly and those with sight or hearing impairments, and of course as a basic phone it’s also a good choice for anyone inexperienced with tech.

There is also a full numerical keypad and a number of shortcut keys to create messages or activate the camera. It’s not going to win any design awards, but the Doro 6520 is simple and holds its own among other feature phones. VERDICT: This is an ideal device for an older user who doesn't want to get bogged down with a complicated smartphone but still wants to stay in touch.If you have sight or hearing problems it's even better, just don't expect to do much more than talk and text with it. It’s chunky and the camera could be better (since even those without smartphone needs would probably like to take the occasional picture) but otherwise the Doro 6520 is a solid, simple handset and worth the money.

Connectivity options include Bluetooth and 3G – there’s no 4G here, so web browsing will be slightly sluggish. And all of the space will be available at all times, as it’s not a touchscreen, so you won’t find half the display obscured by a keyboard or your own fingers. The buttons are big and evenly spaced apart with numerals and symbols big enough to read without wearing your glasses. This display is not a touchscreen but it's still easy to navigate the device’s menu through the physical directional keys on the phone. In the folded position, the Doro 6520 is small (it’s just over 10cm long) and light (it’s only 108g).There’s no front-facing camera here, but that’s not a feature we expect to see on basic handsets like this.
