About this deal

Here's another good choice if you want to avoid the distractions of a modern smartphone, while still enjoying a few smart features. This simple handset can take and receive calls; read (but not compose too many) texts, and even browse YouTube and Facebook. That’s watchYouTube, by the way: the camera only takes stills). Large buttons, huge icons, a special SOS button, and other helpful functions really come in handy for those who find regular phones hard to use. It's equipped with a powerful speaker that delivers any message loud and clear, as well as a long-lasting battery that doesn't require everyday charging. While some manufacturers have attempted to keep old products alive by looking for niche markets, Doro are committed to helping people use their technology to stay independent and have targeted the over 65s. So, it’s not a smartphone in the iPhone sense, but it’s definitely got a bit of chic about it, thanks to the styling being burned indelibly into the cultural imprint made by the first Matrix movie in 1999.

Pre-installed languages: Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Czech The CS182 calls itself a ‘Senior Phone,’ and it has two signature features designed to help the elderly. The first is nice big buttons which you can see take up nearly the whole front of the handset, so no fumbling here, and the second is a dedicated SOS button.The significance, never completely diminished, is on the rise again because the fourth movie, Matrix: Resurrections, is finally in the cinemas. Anyway, the phone. Like the 2720 flip, this is a perfectly serviceable modern 4G phone, with a distinctly ordinary camera, squashed into a form factor and branding that matters to many. You could start by using your iPhone’s camera as a high-tech magnifying glass - and don’t forget, that if the item you want to see isn’t very accessible, you could do what I do and photograph it. All you need to do then is expand the image on the screen to get a close-up view of it. This is a great tip for those times when you’re carrying out a spot of DIY in the home or on your car and can’t see the screw, fastening or widget you need to remove, replace, or adjust. While many of us have ditched the landline in favour of a mobile phone alone, some insist on keeping their house phone as well.

As Chris Millington, MD of Doro UK, said: "Needs, opinions and tastes in mobile phones differ among older people as much as in younger target groups. It's great that we can now provide alternatives even for senior citizens who need functions like text messaging or listening to the radio, but still want an easy-to-use mobile phone." Doro's range of 'Easy Phones' come with colour screens and are designed for ease of use, specifically for elderly users. Large buttons and a high contrast display will help the visually impaired. The fonts are certainly far larger – and with better contrast - than on a conventional mobile. A brand you might better associate with heavy machinery, the CAT even rumbles like a diesel engine at start up. It’s not actually the company’s only foray into phones, but the B35 is the more feature-rich, in that it includes KaiOS and the collection of Google-owned apps which you’d expect to accompany that (Maps, YouTube, Google Assistant).It's possible you’re looking for a dumb phone because you think smart phones are, well, that bit too smart. If so, Doro have an alternative approach you might prefer: ‘Response Premium.’ They’ve added a layer to the popular Android operating system that makes it easier to use. It even allows you to program in dedicated assistants – family members – who get remote access to your phone to offer you remote help when needed. It’s not for everyone, but it’s great solution that means you still get access to all the latest tech when it comes to cameras and comms.
