The Doro PhoneEasy 740 may be the first of its kind for the elderly that boasts of a rather modernized design. Similar to most other mobile devices available in the market, this Android based handset offers web access and support for mobile applications like Angry Birds amongst many others.
The device’s front panel features a 3.2-inch HVGA multi-touch display that projects relatively large Android icons and renders visuals in 320 x 480p resolutions, while the rear side is dotted by a 5MP camera. This snapper doubles up as a magnifying glass to facilitate reading small prints. In addition to the touchscreen, the manufacturer has added buttons for navigation purposes. These include back, home, menu, OK, up and down keys. A sliding numeric keypad with well spaced out keys has been integrated too.
The internet-enabled handset extends support to the 3G network speed to ensure swift web browsing. It is accompanied by a charging cradle. Needless to say, the Android phone lets users access the Google Play store to download applications. The GPS certified gadget is deployed with Doro Experience, that’s a cloud based software for remotely managing the device with the assistance of a Windows PC. Relatives of the user can load or delete applications and control its features from anywhere on the globe.
The Doro PhoneEasy 740 release date and price have not been divulged by the company. It will be made available in summer this year.
