This smartphone is designed for the needs of the elderly. The touchscreen offers a clear menu structure and is easily readable. If required, a standard keypad cover can be fitted over it. This means still being able to dial numbers as usual with the familiar keypad without having to sacrifice the convenience of a smartphone. It is also possible to dial using a pen stylus. The most popular apps have been optimized for intuitive handling.
