About this deal

When the case is closed, users can still see the wallpaper image, time, date, battery icon and network information through the window in the case. Overall, the S5 is much more suited to his needs than a traditional Android experience, and he didn't find many limitations. Emporia has also kept the emergency assistance button that I feel really makes this phone ideal for the senior market. It’s that safety blanket when you can’t be with that older family member all the time it’s so useful. The language is straightforward and there are plenty of pictures, plus it doesn't assume knowledge. There are even sections for notes and useful tip sections throughout.

Not only is it an easy-to-use device, with simplified menus and large icons, the ingenious smart cover with its four responsive windows allows for far more functionality than smartphones have offered before. There’s also a built-in SOS button, which automatically calls up to five pre-defined numbers, and blasts out an emergency SMS containing the user’s location. All this is documented clearly in the installation manual, and it was straightforward to follow it through. Is it easy to use the emporiaSMART.5? The main display of the S5 contains four major shortcuts and a couple of smaller links. The four large buttons take users to:What you look for in a simple phone is very different to a smartphone, particularly as simple phones are typically geared towards older phone users and those who need a cheap emergency handset. This phone is powered by a fast 1.8GHz octa-core processor which is paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB of storage but if you need more storage it allows for a micro SD card up to 256GB. Emporia has launched four new devices, one of which is a hybrid simple phone and smartphone. We've taken a look at what each of them has to offer.

With an abundance of accessibility features built-in, most seniors will be able to use the S5 and it doesn't come across as a difficult device to understand or use. Standard smartphone designs can be difficult to use for the elderly, and a simplified interface can go a long way to helping them stay in touch without hassle. The Emporia Smart S5 Simple Smartphone for the Elderly is designed to provide all of the convenience of a modern smartphone with none of the hassle, as it features a simple interface and a unique Smartcase, which limits the phone to four buttons for key functions when closed. What's Included? Automatically put your phone in loudspeaker mode (an alarm will sound to alert anyone nearby to assist) When it’s time to charge you will hear a beep and the battery icon will appear red and the LED flashes. Simply plug into the charging cradle which also allows you to keep the phone in the cradle when at home as it acts as a holder as well as a charger. Use Favourite Functions: Taking pictures, activating the torch and more can all be done with the Smartcase buttons

The high-speed 1.8 Ghz octa-core processor allows for fast App performance and internet searches, and the S5 comes with a very powerful battery.

Technology is not something to be scared of if you understand the basics and these two books explain it all even the bits you were afraid to ask. Then setting up the emergency section on your phone could even save your life. It's worth noting that when, for instance, a user presses the camera button via the case, it opens up the camera viewfinder in the panel above and the options are limited.
