The display is very bright too, and unlike a lot of cheaper phones it’s easy to read even when you’re looking at it from an angle. It also comes with a chunky, desktop charging dock that’s very easy to slide the phone into, especially as it is designed so as to make it impossible to insert the phone into it the wrong way round. This is a good device for older people as well, because it has interesting functions and the emergency option. Doro’s phones are aimed at oldies, but not the type of oldies that are happy to use the latest iPhone or Android smartphones.

These are used in conjunction with two software buttons that are mapped to the various functions that appear on the screen when you’re in the phone’s main menu. Instead this handset has been properly crafted from the ground up to make it as easy as possible to use. The better your problem and question is described, the easier it is for other Doro owners to provide you with a good answer.The resolution isn’t amazing at 320×240 pixels, but it’s more than enough for this type of phone as there are no internet features and the menu system only really shows one large icon on the screen at a time. It also struggles in low light, especially as it lacks an LED flash to help it out in darker conditions. However, it does support flash cards, such as MicroSD (TransFlash), and its single SIM card capability is compatible with data networks like GPRS and GSM.

Additionally, it does not have Wi-Fi capabilities and has a form factor that is designed with a clamshell-style.

Each page shows just a single large icon related to its function, so they’re very easy to read and navigate around. The screen may have some marks, but it does not affect the use of the phone or impair any vision on the screen.
