Looking at the cross-platform Geekbench 4 benchmark results, the Doro 8030 sits at the bottom of the table, and the numbers reflect the real-world speed and multitasking capabilities of the phone – it’s sluggish and incapable of handling multiple apps at once.If you plan on loading the Doro with media or games, you’ll need to invest in a microSD card. Internal storage is listed as 16GB, but our review unit only had 8GB of usable space when we first switched it on. On The Three network in the Southeast of the UK, the Doro 8030 on HSPA+ speeds were very different (I Sadly wasn’t able to get any LTE testing done), depending on the time of say, we could get 1mbps, and I could move 5ft to the right and that would jump up to 10mbps.

My Nan (Wendy) Is a 75 year young woman who has had phones, and even had a smartphone before, but has never really accepted them as something she owned and could use. But When I had the opportunity to get a Doro 8030 to review, I jumped at the chance, because I could get my Nan to review it, and not only that, I could get her using a smartphone for more of the smartphone-y things they’re for.

Additionally, users can expand the device's storage through the use of a microSD (TransFlash) card. With the capability to accommodate a maximum memory card size of 32 GB, users can increase their storage space to suit their needs. Software is where things start to get interesting, The Doro 8030 is an Android smartphone, a relatively low-end one by 2016 standards, but certainly more than capable for the audience this is geared towards. Will this play modern combat 5? Probably, will it run it well? I can almost assuredly guarantee you not.

In her use (Remember, this has been her only phone for the last couple of weeks) My Nan has continuously been able to eek 2 and sometimes 3 days of use out of the 8030.
