In this age of speed and technological achievements, despite the fact that life has become much more comfortable, elderly people have an incredibly difficult. With some confidence we can say that mobile communication such as for elderly or people with disabilities — it's a kind of salvation. The inevitable aging process makes itself felt in different forms of its manifestation. Most often in the elderly decreases visual acuity and dulled hearing. In such cases, the most convenient to use it is possible to consider a phone with large buttons. It's about these gadgets and will be discussed in this article, as well as many other things that somehow must be included in the process of selecting and purchasing cellular devices for the retiree.
Many of us have heard from the lips of their elderly parents that donated to us the phone is not very convenient: small keys, too bright or dim screen, incomprehensible and very confusing navigation. In General, the operational point in this case is far from the value “comfortable”. That is why our elderly are not always able to reach us, or an emergency call is delayed in its implementation by the fault of the above-mentioned technical reasons. Meanwhile, the cellular phone with large buttons, a monochrome screen and simple menu can negate all the inconvenience and difficulties. Let's look at some “gentle age» mobile devices and decide preponderance of one or the other choice.

You May ask: ‘Why not the old?” it is Difficult not to agree, as do previously released a lot of modifications, structural feature of which is precisely the large buttons, a monochrome screen and simple menu. Moreover, even today you can find, so to speak, in the course of these retro units like the Nokia 3310 or Siemens A55. However, on the long shot with the production “ultra-reliable” mobile phones, it is hardly possible to find a new (full-working) battery. The owner of a “short-term availability in the network”, to put it mildly, not envy. And really, what kind of comfort to say when is broken the charging socket or the memory can not withstand the intensity of use! As you know, it's easier to buy a new device than to condemn a pensioner suffering from old electronics. Therefore, we focus exclusively on the modern decision “mobile problems” of the elderly.
It is Often a great mobile phone with buttons — it is most suitable for a pensioner communication device. And this is the explanation:
Not always a black and white version - a required argument in favor of expedient choice for the pensioner. Often, properly chosen color scheme is much nicer to the eye than the two-tone «gray». However, everything depends on the preferences of the future owner. After all, look at the sent MMS photo on a bright and colorful screen, and even in high resolution, no doubt, better than looking at dull shades of monochrome images. Of course, the simplicity of the device implies some functional limitations. So often in favor of the practicality of a phone with big buttons is equipped with a small black-and-white screen, the brightness and contrast which are easily adjusted.
This is the most common variant of the “render” in cell devices of the type under consideration. It should be noted that the color realism of images requires substantial amounts of energy, which is not always consistent with the General purpose of such devices as “Babushkina”. Of course, functional cell device equipped with a black-and-white display, capable long enough to be in the active state. Standby mode under this condition can generally be calculated weekly period. Therefore, should adhere to the Golden mean. And if preference is given to a color image, the adaptability of the display should match the value “efficient”, and the battery should be as reinforced.
A Touch phone with large buttons on the screen (virtual keyboard) is preferable for elderly people, whose needs cannot be met by standard stripped-down simplicity. Today, the market of mobile products represented a sufficiently large range of such “Babushkino”, the functionality of whichallows:
Such “grandmother” phone with large buttons for dignity will be appreciated by your elderly parents. After all, everything else the device can be controlled by voice commands, is able to read messages and always tell you that you must connect it to a charger. So, as you can see, no one forgets the “advanced” the seniors!
It Should be noted that the above variant of the “babushkofon” though has a high-capacity battery, still much faster to discharge than the device, "imprisoned" for a specific purpose — maximum comfort and ease of use. Therefore, for the majority of pensioners will be enough if:
Cellular Phone with large buttons — such a device can be considered as a convenient and easy to manage. Everything else, “tactile mechanics» more reliable and less power-consuming than the touchscreen technology. Therefore, in the process of selecting mobile communication devices for their elderly parents or grandparents will focus on these options: a more stable and time-tested. Today, not many producers of cellular devices, specifically spetsializiruyutsya on the issue of “Babushkino”. However, their products have some differences. However, you'll be able to make the right choice. Because you know the preferences of their relatives.
Phone with big buttons, the price of which can vary from 1000 to 3000 rubles., today, can afford literally every retiree. Ergonomic design and practical case combined with operational simplicity and supplemented by the affordable cost. Advertising must be truthful, and the Russian company proves the truth of this statement in each of its product. Today for the elderly the company produces a sufficient number of modifications, among which are phone teXet TM-B111.
Phone with big buttons teXet incredibly practical. Keys are easy to press. Thanks to the sophistication of the location, shape and composition of the material of the buttons, the fingers do not slip off. The menu is elementary in the understanding, and its optimal functionality allows you easily to allow the necessary tasks. Large text complicates the reading process, TEXTS, and the soft light does not irritate the eyes. Voice guidance is incredibly facilitate visually impaired pensioner the dialing process. Button “SOS”, located on the rear panel of the device, will allow the user to enter the menu emergency calls and immediately produce call or send SMS to the desired number. Nothing superfluous, only the necessary for a stable and reliable connection.
Cheap phone with large buttons — this is not the definition of defective goods. As a line of budget mobile phones from the world famous brand Nokia in particular 1100, 1101, 1200, 1208, 1280 — it is, above all, durable to use and ascetic minimum of functionality. The device is simple in maintenance, and time (duration) of their battery life is commendable. Intellectually intuitive menu does not cause any difficulties in the process, the user accurately find the required option in the phone's functionality. Any of the above cellular devices will become an indispensable means of communication for the pensioner. Low price, paradoxically, corresponds to the high quality — it's a phone "Nokia"!
Despite the fact that China is often associated with poor quality stamping, yet there is a sense to pay attention to some of the mobile devices of Asian origin. Of course, we should not forget that the unit cell for the pensioner must be reliable. So before you buy one or another modification, you need to devote some time to studying the subject of your curiosity. User reviews, the comments left on the discussion forums will help you make the right choice. Do not forget that buying a mobile device in special shops of electronics, you obviously advance will protect yourself from purchasing poor goods.
Big button devices that company enough. However, the best option may be to consider the model Philips Xenium X2301. At a relatively low cost of this communication device is ideal for the elderly. If you purchase this smartphone, namely those Х2301 is the owner for a lot of pleasant additions. The device is equipped with a docking station, this means that the charging process is simplified as you no longer need to separately connect the memory and the “aim” in a designated slot of the machine. Simply insert phone into dock connector and the charging process is automatically activated. In this modification of the present camera, but the resolution of 0.3 MP is somewhat distressing, but beneath the optics button switch of the viewfinder in a strange way again nice will impress you. In General, plastic matte black color hides a lot of mysteries. However, only some of them are alarming, the rest of the brand, as always, at height.
Perhaps a flip phone with large buttons will be more original gift for your grandmother than a standard candy bar. Already known Alcatel has released this year's updated version of teXet TM-В416. Outer panel (closed system) with active light indicators: incoming message, call, charge indicator and the current mode status is “alarm”. Another innovation was the built-in camera 1.3 MP, which is also located on the front of the case. Now the device supports two SIM cards. For listening to radio provides a FM receiver. Communication capabilities are expanding by activating the Bluetooth module. This model is available in two colors: black and dark red. Not be amiss to mention another “offspring” of the British company Fly, which this year came in second place in sales of smartphones in Russia. This is a phone with large buttons Fly Ezzy Trendy, also being a trundle bed due to its structural features. The front of the case is equipped with a front display and a camera with a resolution of 1.2 MP. The main, however, as an additional screen, made by technology TFT. The color reproduction is quite good and even in bright light graphics is clearly distinguishable. Large print key “SOS”, flashlight, dual SIM are also present in the presented model, as in the above-described device. It should be noted that the value “British” is almost identical to the price of the Russian teXet TM-В416. So you can decide which modification to give the preference.
Before to give your family a comfortable and secure phone, perhaps, wiser had to previously go to a specialty store along with your favourite ‘retired” and unobtrusive to try out a few “Babushkino”. After all rashly made choice may not correspond to the expected results. In result, color display could be the stimulus for sore eyes, and seemed to get loud enough sound "mosquito squeak" for grandma or grandpa. However, if you are sure that your gift will match the expected result — treat the elderly!
