Doro8080 Unlocked 16 MP Camera Smartphone for Seniors with 5.7" Display, GPS Localisation and Cradle Included (Black/Copper)

I got this phone for my mother, She had the 8035 model before this. Straight out of the box could tell it was better thought out phone, it is heavier which mum noticed but is ok with.I set it up but there was the option for a new user to system to set up with a step by step guide. I found it very easy to set up and personalize phone to mums fav ringtone & wallpaper.I found the 8035 model slow and clunky, this one is leaps ahead! It feels and acts like a very decent smartphone, very quick and responsive.When you wake up screen the line which you push up to open phone bounces to guide the user what to do, Once open you have the doro buttons to make calls etc, a new edition is the "I" tile which takes you to a guide on how phone works, my mothers memory is gone so this is great as she can keep going back to instructions easily.The charging stand is better as phone stands upwards, also seems more solid than the previous one. Battery life is surprisingly good as well.Only been in use a few days so will update review after a couple of months use.

I am recommending this to all my friends. Not a cheap phone, but worth every penny to me. Very intuitive, responsive, great battery life, excellent features in terms of sound, font size, brightness, I use it on Bluetooth to stream music for a dance group and have confidence in it.I liked my old Doro and this is even better. No "an old persons phone" but a good phone for internet browsing, banking, music etc. Now my constant companion.

First the bad news, The price is a touch on the expensive side, but saying that, it is loaded with spec's you don't find on most phones. That out the way, the phone feels secure in the handling field, it is a bit heavy and thick compared to some mobiles , but the thickness is part due to the protective case. I heard reports the speed is slow, i have no complaints there. The setting up is relatively simple and easy, but you do need a basic knowledge of mobile phones. The screen is bright with ability to adjust for poor vision to hard of hearing. A lot of though as gone in to the menu's. The phone is aimed at the elderly/disabled population to that end ii is good, I'm not sure the price will put off some. Not had the phone long so cann't comment on battery life . The emergency beacon is useful and gives confidence when out and about.

Bought as a replacement for my old mobile phone. Larger than my old phone, but adapted to it fairly quickly. Easy to use, touch screen good, battery life good, and camera is very good. My use is fairly basic at present, as I get used to the phone - send/receive texts, make/receive calls. But so far, so good.

I purchased this phone for my father who has recently had a stroke and is in hospital because it is advertised as a specialist phone for seniors . Due to covid we are not able to visit him so this was a considered choice for us to create a line of communication. 7 days after purchase the smart screen froze and would not reboot. Several nurses in the hospital tried to help reset it but the screen was still frozen. In the end I had to take a trip to the hospital to see if I could get the phone to reboot. Despite following all of the instructions in the Doro manual and on their website for both a hard and soft reset the smart screen was still frozen after 40 attempts in the hospital car park as I wasn't allowed in due to covid. I emailed the Doro customer support email for advice but did not get a response. I also tried to phone them but gave up after continually being left on hold. The phone is now being returned and I would not advise anyone to buy this phone. I'm a tech savy person this phone was clearly defective and the support offered by Doro has been non-existent.
