The Doro 6520 has an 800mAh battery, good for up to 8 hours of talk time or 380 hours of standby time. This isn’t a phone that you’ll be playing videos on, so the limited size and resolution really isn’t much of a problem. There is also a full numerical keypad and a number of shortcut keys to create messages or activate the camera.
Not everybody wants a smartphone. In fact, there is a healthy number of customers who just want a device that is simple and easy-to-use. And that’s exactly what you get with the Doro 6520. 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).
PROS: Large easy-to-read screen, physical keypad with large buttons, hearing aid compatible, assistance button, loud ringer The Doro 6520 has a clamshell design, so you flip it open to see the screen and use the keypad. That makes it compact but chunky, at 103.9 x 55.1 x 19.2mm, and it’s light at just 103g. The device is also HAC (hearing aid compatible) so calls and notifications will come straight through to your hearing aid. The Doro 6520 is a clamshell, or flip phone as we used to call them, with a 2.8-inch display that’s easy to read. 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.Those figures aren’t amazing, but the good news is that since this is a phone you’ll mostly only be using for calls and texts (rather than all the apps and media people consume on smartphones) it should still be able to go a long time between charges. As such that amount of power is adequate. It’s not the snappiest phone in the world but nor does it feel sluggish. Camera
It’s not going to win any design awards, but the Doro 6520 is simple and holds its own among other feature phones. 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.
Looking for something else?
The Doro 6520 is a simple phone, aimed at people who don’t need all the bells and whistles of a smartphone, and instead just want something basic to call and text on. There’s no front-facing camera here, but that’s not a feature we expect to see on basic handsets like this. Features But there’s more here than meets the eye and, crucially, it’s easy to use. Is that enough for it to carve out a niche in 2017? Read on to find out. Screen
