About this deal

We take all aspects of design seriously at Doro and the packaging for both handsets will not include any additional plastic, cutting down on unnecessary waste.

By adding this handset to its range, Vodafone will boost its senior offering across the UK, keeping older users connected at a time when it matters most.It forms part of a wider push to deliver 2000 phones to isolated seniors across regions spanning the UK, Germany, France and the Nordic. All fields are optional, but you would be able to provide next of kin details, c ondition, allergies, blood type, vaccination, medication and other very important information which might be crucial to know in the event of an accident or trauma. This means that even in bright conditions or if you struggle from poor eyesight, the screen will still appear just as bright and clear as before. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

Paypal e-cheques can take up to 10 working days to clear, again if paying by this method we can only deliver to CONFIRMED PayPal address. Elderly-centric features include a customisable user interface, with help from Google Assistant, as well as Doro’s unique Response button on the back of the handset (more on that later). A new report from Doro, the market leader in telephony for an aging population, has shown that contrary to popular belief, half of British seniors (50 per cent) are excited by new technologies and trust them to help in their everyday life. We test everything from how easy it is to set up the phone for the first time, to how straightforward it is to add contacts and send texts.This allows users to stay connected with their loved ones, whatever their preferred communications habits may be. These include adding labels to each icon, step by step navigation, having a single homepage and much more. Since arthritis or even just a simple stiffening of the joints can make using large displays a bit of a problem for the elderly, the Doro 8050’s screen thankfully measures just 5. Elsewhere, the phone charges via a USB-C port at the bottom, and it has separate volume up and down buttons on the left with a power button on the right. The digital zoom is best avoided, however: any magnification beyond 2x results in a visually unappealing image, with the camera app also grinding to a halt as well.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.It’s not only extremely scratch-resistant and durable, but has an anti-fingerprint coating to repel and easily wipe off marks from dirty or greasy fingers. It comes with the key DNA attributes of a Doro: fantastic loud and clear sound with HAC, an excellent 5. Both of these phones give a breath of fresh air to older users and comes with intuitive features such as My Doro Manager, soon to be incorporated into the Response by Doro app. This product is eligible for a replacement or refund within 1-Year of receipt if it does not work as expected.

A simple smartphone might sound like a contradiction in terms, but that’s exactly what the Doro 8050 aims to be. The Doro Watch features the signature Response button, and the Doro Tablet has TeamViewer capabilities, providing peace of mind for senior users and their circl. EVA simply gives you a few clear choices on screen, and then does what you wish based on your selection. The built-in GPS functionality is a great way to keep family and friends in informed of your location if you press the Response button (located on the back of the device) as well as using it for Google Maps and other navigation or positioning apps to show where you are, the weather or directions to places around you or a specific address.In everyday use, the 8050 never feels like it’s getting bogged down or slow, even if it’s nowhere close to being the fastest phone we’ve tested. Originally bought one of these in 2020 as they are marketed for seniors and those with dementia and it's meant to be a super straight forward phone. The physical home button sitting below the screen may seem a little dated, but it’s ideal for Android newbies.
