You usually give your old smartphones to mom and dad or children, but this won’t work with grandma. A touch screen is unusual for an elderly person, and it will be difficult for her to understand the abundance of applications. What if he catches or discharges the virus in half a day, photographing his garden beds and cats, but forgets to charge it...

In general, grandmothers need something simpler and more reliable, with a “long-lasting” battery and without any special bells and whistles. And so that the bell is loud and the buttons are larger - over the years, vision and hearing do not get better. It would seem that all push-button “dialers” are the same, but in fact, manufacturers care about our grandmothers more seriously than we expected. So eight best models with big buttons in one overview.

Phones with big buttons 2.0: as a gift for grandma - read the new review

This cute cot has been specially designed with the needs of seniors in mind.

So, what we have: large buttons with large, clear numbers. The display is colorful and bright, but the shell has large letters and contrasting menus. Of course, this is TFT, so it doesn’t look very good in the bright sun, but the buttons are pressed with voice confirmation. The speaker is very loud - you don’t have to shout for your grandmother to hear you on the phone, and if necessary, you can lower the volume level.



Why does this phone need a big red button on the cover? This is SOS - when pressed, a loud siren sounds, which will attract the attention of passers-by. The phone also automatically dials the specified number and switches to speakerphone mode. If grandma suddenly becomes ill or needs urgent help, this function is very useful. In addition, there is a physical button to turn on the flashlight (works even when the phone is turned off) and three programmable buttons for quick access to functions, and nine numbers can be set on speed dial.

Moreover: the phone supports memory cards up to 32 GB! Download grandma her favorite songs - there will probably be enough space for everything! And if they get bored, the phone has an FM radio.

A similar model, but in a candy bar form factor.

The screen is small, but the buttons are large, and the menus and numbers are as clear and understandable as possible. There is a camera, FM radio, a flashlight (turned on with a button and can work when the phone is turned off), the speaker is very loud. The branded SOS button is pressed intuitively in an emergency situation: then the siren turns on, which attracts attention, starts a call to loved ones and is activated Speakerphone so that you can hear what is happening at the other end of the line.



By the way, the battery capacity of ONEXT Care-Phone 5 is 20% greater than that of Care-Phone 6. With average usage, you can charge it once every 3-4 days, or even less often.

ONEXT Care-Phone 4 White and ONEXT Care-Phone 4 Black

The simplest and most reliable phone, designed for older people, comes with a black and white screen that saves high level contrast in any lighting. The buttons seem huge, but they are very easy to hit. In addition, the press is duplicated by voice and there are tips in Russian that will help you understand the technology and remind you how to call the desired function.

The speaker is very loud, the call will be heard throughout the entire apartment. And if you dump a collection of music onto a memory card (supports microSD with a capacity of up to 32 GB), the phone will turn into a player - it will be more fun to work at the dacha and drink tea with friends. By the way, it plays through the speaker and FM radio!

BQ BQM-2001 Sofia Black

The buttons are large, the font is contrasting, but slightly smaller than that of the ONEXT Care-Phone 6. There are two programmable buttons for frequently used functions, a flashlight, FM radio, and the ability to set up to nine numbers for speed dialing. The SOS key on the body is small, but easy to press; it is slightly pressed inward to prevent accidental triggering.

The phone supports microSD memory cards and Bluetooth. The first function is useful for downloading photos and music to grandma’s phone (you can’t download from the Internet), the second is for connecting wireless headset and don’t take your phone out of your pocket every time to answer a call.



The “trick” of the phone is indicators unread messages and battery charge on the lid: useful, as it will once again remind you that it’s time to charge your phone and read an SMS from your beloved grandson.

BQ BQM-2400 Taipei White

The body is thin, the buttons are large, the numbers are clear, the screen diagonal is 2.4 inches, larger than many competitors. True, the screen matrix, like other color phones, is built using TFT technology, and this is the only drawback of the model. But there is a flashlight, a 1.3 MP camera (most likely the same on your laptop), support for microSD memory cards up to 32 GB.


The phone speaker is loud enough, so if grandma has hearing problems, she will be able to communicate comfortably. But Bluetooth is also supported - with wireless headset It will be convenient to knit or garden while talking with you or your friends.

BQ BQM-1802 Arlon Black/Red and BQ BQM-1802 Arlon Black

A very simple, inexpensive and reliable phone with special features that can be useful for an elderly person.

The most important and necessary is the SOS button, which activates emergency call without dialing. It is located at the end of the phone - on the one hand, it is easy to find by touch, on the other hand, it is difficult to press accidentally.


This telephone should be kept in the Chamber of Weights and Measures as a reference for the Telephone That Just Calls. Large buttons with easy-to-read numbers make it easy to dial a number by checking the phone book. The monochrome screen is contrasty and easy to read in any sun. The phone doesn't have a camera: why does it need one? But on the back cover there is an SOS button to dial the desired number in a critical situation. True, it is not clear why such a device needs Bluetooth and a slot for a memory card. But other than that, this is the perfect “grandmother’s phone.”

loud ringing, excellent audibility
The flashlight is turned on with a separate button

Flaws

inconvenient microphone location (on the side)

A small 0.1 megapixel camera is enough to take price tags in a store, and the FM radio will not let you get bored. If your grandma still wears lipstick and fancy hats, put this phone in her purse.

convenient phone book
memory card slot

Flaws

low battery capacity
microUSB charging

For those who remember clamshells

Mobile phone is a device for transmitting and receiving sound. This tool is designed to allow people to communicate with each other at any distance.

There are several types of cell phones:

  • sensory,
  • button,
  • cot,
  • slider.

Cell phones are firmly entrenched in the life of every person.

Now you can’t do without this device (call another city or country, take photos, use the Internet, etc.). Every person, child, and grandparents have such an important and necessary thing.

Reference! Phones for pensioners are also called "grandmotherphones".

Choose a cell phone with large buttons and a screen

When choosing telephone set for grandparents you need to focus on certain characteristics. After all, they do not need modern multifunctional gadgets, which very often differ in size from ordinary mobile phones.

For such people, budget push-button phones are perfect, but there are also several requirements.

What should a “helper for pensioners” be like?

  1. Necessarily large keys and large display, where numbers, letters, and text are clearly visible. This will be a big plus for people who have vision problems. You don't need to wear glasses to see messages or letters.
  2. Loud noise. With age, hearing deteriorates, and older people begin to experience various problems. To prevent unpleasant situations, the sound during calls and conversations should be loud. And for this you need to look at the characteristics of the speaker.
  3. Clear screen. A screen with a matte finish would be an excellent choice here. There will be no reflections when exposed to bright sunlight. Sometimes they even choose monochrome displays (one color) for more practical use.
  4. Convenient housing. The cell phone should fit comfortably in your hand and not slip.
  5. Clear menu. It is advisable that there are no extra installed applications. And everything should be in Russian.
  6. Sound signals. They will alert older people when the battery is low or when a message is coming.
  7. No unnecessary functions. For pensioners, it is not necessary to have Skype, a second camera or microSD. Moreover, a simpler and simplified phone will cost much less.
  8. There is another useful factor - SOS call button. If your health deteriorates, you don’t have time to remember or dial the number; it’s easier to press this button, which will be configured for certain people.

Elderly people sometimes do not understand modern technologies, And Setting up the functions of a mobile device is very difficult.

  • Be sure to select screen brightness if this feature is present on your phone;
  • Set font size. The bigger, the better;
  • Volume adjustment. Choose medium power so you can hear from another room. Maximum volume can be frightening;
  • The ringtone can be made increasing;
  • Don't forget about setting up speed dial numbers. The best option - push-button telephone.

The best cell phones for seniors are discussed in the video::

Simple push-button

The best option for retirees. Budget phone, which you can easily choose for yourself. For example, choose one with larger buttons.

Simplifications in such phones:

  • Camera. It is present on most cell phones, but it is of poor quality and is almost never used;
  • Games. Almost none, and it’s impossible to download from the Internet;
  • Menu. Always very simple and understandable. There are no unnecessary functions and applications;
  • Browser. If there is, it displays only WAP sites.

Cot

It is also a good option, but not always convenient. On such mobile devices They usually don't make big screens or buttons. Here, most likely, the main goal is to protect the display in case of a fall.

Minus: Fragile design that requires more careful handling.

Sensory

This is a more modern option, which is suitable for “advanced” older people who will definitely be able to understand the versatility of the phone, download an application or use the Internet.

This phone also has some disadvantages:

  1. Price. A touchscreen gadget is very expensive. And pensioners will be afraid to carry it with them;
  2. Difficult to use. Older people prefer more simple options use;
  3. Due to the presence of various functions and applications, the battery drains quickly. Touchscreen phone need to be infected more often than usual.

How to choose a smartphone for older people is explained in the video:

Why do pensioners need it?

Elderly people very often live separately from their children, grandchildren and relatives. Most of all, they like to choose quiet places that are away from the noisy city. Sometimes it is not possible to use the services of a nurse, but you need to maintain contact somehow.

The best option would be a “granny phone”. Also, by cell phone you can not only call relatives, but also contact emergency services.

Retired people love to spend more time outdoors. It’s not possible to be with your family all the time while going for a walk, and a phone will come in handy. You can call and find out what's going on at any time.

Support of connections. If your relatives live somewhere far away and don’t come to visit as often as you’d like, you can use your mobile phone at any time and make a couple of calls. A very convenient option.

Extensive The phone book will always be at hand. The most best feature This is "speed dial". You can call utility services, doctors, etc. at any time.

TM-B116 turned out to be quite ambiguous, in addition to the standard set for older people - large buttons and a screen, it has some frills (the ability to use a flash drive, Bluetooth), but at the same time the manufacturer installed a weak battery in the smartphone - only 600 mAh, which is enough on average for 2 days of use.

We can recommend teXet TM-B116 not only to pensioners, but also to anyone who wants to buy a simple and inexpensive (RUB 1,900) phone that can be used as an MP3 player for listening to music on headphones.

Oysters Sochi

Oysters Sochi is a smartphone from a domestic manufacturer. First of all, the device is interesting for its appearance; it is made in a thin rectangular body with a metal back cover. The black color phone will definitely appeal to men, while the white version will look perfect in a woman's hands.

Nokia 215 Dual Sim

Push-button telephone from the once popular Nokia company, differing from analogues only in the bright colors of the body. The 215th model turned out to be quite controversial, it supports 2 SIM cards, has a capacious battery and a good display. However, the fonts on the display remain small even when turned on in the maximum size settings, which is why it cannot be recommended for people with low vision.

The bottom line is that the Nokia 215 is a reliable and convenient phone that, with careful use, will last for many years. Price – from 2000 rubles.

Nokia 215 Dual Sim

Nokia 222

Analogue of the 2150th model with the presence multimedia capabilities. There is a slot for a flash drive, a headphone jack, radio, Bluetooth, a 2 MP camera, and the ability to play video and MP3 files. The phone is quite fast and pleasant to use.

Among the shortcomings, we note the weak functionality of the phone book (limited title length, one number per contact) and a somewhat inflated price. The cost of Nokia 222 starts at 3,500 rubles, but phones with similar characteristics from other manufacturers cost, on average, a thousand less.

Samsung Metro B350E

The B350E, with the exception of design, can be considered a complete analogue of the Nokia 222. These devices have identical characteristics and functionality, minor differences in favor of Samsung - a larger battery capacity, a more convenient interface and the absence of stupid restrictions in phone book. The current price of the B350E is 4 thousand rubles, which, again, is unreasonably expensive.

Some companies have become famous only with the help of special phones for pensioners. They try to ensure reliability, safety, as well as simple and straightforward operation.

Do right choice Our rating will help you best phones for older people with large buttons and a screen, compiled from reviews.

Choosing a company

With a regular purchase, you must rely on the technical qualities, as well as the capabilities of the system and support for all new products. Such criteria are completely irrelevant when purchasing a smartphone for grandparents. They don't need a high price tag at all. A rational purchase is considered to be one that contains only all the essentials:

  • Large buttons and screen.
  • The model has a simple menu.
  • There are hot keys, it is always easy to call your loved ones.
  • Reliability. Such phones work for a long time and always stay connected.
  • Loud sounds. This is very important for older people who may have hearing problems.

There are several common companies that have already been time-tested. They are actively acquired and left only positive reviews. Grandma will definitely be pleased with such a purchase:

  1. NOKIA (models 1100 and 1110, 1112)
  2. Philips (model 180)
  3. Sony Ericsson (model K310)
  4. Fly (modelEzzy)

Such models are mostly inexpensive and accessible to almost everyone.

How to decide?

There are two options to consider initially. Some models can include features for seniors, such as changing the sound or font, while others are designed primarily for retirees. The first ones win if you want to give the phone to children, it remains simple and reliable and may well become the first mobile phone. However, it is better for single grandparents to prefer the second option and not think about setting it up.

There are several criteria that must be present in a good grandmother's phone:

  • Convenient and fairly large case.
  • The screen has a matte finish that helps neutralize glare.
  • Sound signals about the need to charge, sounds for keys.
  • Full translation into Russian.
  • Inability to interfere with settings. An elderly person should not get confused with their phone.
  • An additional emergency function, it dials an SMS to a loved one or makes a call instantly.
