Easy to Use Smartphone

Not everyone is confident about using technology, but mobile phones are useful even for the unconfident. This was reviewed and recommended in Good Housekeeping, but I've not seen it myself.

The Doro 8030 has a very simple handset, with only three large buttons for Call, View and Send on the home screen.

The set-up process is easy too. The My Doro Manager app can be used by a trusted person to remotely change settings and options, which is great for someone who regularly calls up family members for help.

It is not as fast at opening apps, but the simplifed interface will keep many people happy.

Currently (April 2017) £180 from johnlewis.com.
