Panasonic KX-TU550EXC 4G Essentials Clamshell Mobile Phone for Elderly, 1.2MP Camera, Senior Phone with Large 2.8" Display, 300 Hours Standby Time, Blue

Nice flip phone I keep as a backup to my main iPhone. Good clear sound and display. I have a couple of other feature phones and find this one easier to use in navigating the menus - all pretty logical as you have 4 way rocker with central OK action plus two flexible menu/action buttons either side. Takes nano-sim like my iPhone and memory card for extra storage of photos etc. Photo resolution ranges upto 1280x960 which is very good for a non smartphone. Also brightness, contrast, exposure-bias, multi-shot, white balance, self-timer. So way better than most feature phones. Coupled with it's three single button favourite phone contact and an emergency call button on the back, it could be the ideal older person's phone. No video option-just still photos which it does a good job of. It also has simple illuminated icons when phone closed to indicate a phone call, message, low battery. Oh battery lasts for days and usb-c charge port. Bluetooth and 3.5mm earphones support. Extras include an easy to use 4 function calculator with M+ M- +- etc. Good calendar with daily weekly monthly views. No games. Good/Bad it depends on you. In summary very good phone if you don't want a smartphone.

Annoying sound on key press and when phone is switched on - no settings found to adjust. Picture against contact is actually quite small, elderly would find that difficult to see. Found phone is prone to slipping due to design.

Super phone - I'm really pleased with mine. I bought it mainly to use as a back up phone for home and also because the EE signal here on my iphone is not great, but the SMARTY signal in the house is good - so I'm using this Panasonic as you would a landline, basically. Much cheaper than an actual landline, and great for emergency use. I bought this for about £38 on Amazon Warehouse (used, excellent condition). For me (44yrs old) - I have had no issues using the phone or working out settings, volumes etc - it's pretty straighforward to use and no instruction manual neeeded for me at least. Love the old school flip action to answer/hang up. Battery life seems excellent so far. Cal quality is very good but not perfect. According to Panasonic this phone is enabled for HD voice calls (also called VoLTE)… which basically uses the 4G network to enhance call quality. My SIM/provider I don’t think has yet rolled out this service to my area so I’m hoping this will soon happen so that call quality is even better.

Panasonic KX-TU550EXB 4G Essentials review. This phone does have various ring tones, the digits and contacts are clear and not tiny. You can turn off the start up music, simple to use and some of the other reviews must be in using different model.

I really wanted to like this phone but the solid build and good looks are let down by poor functionality and useless instructions. The 'instructions' that come with it are printed so small they are almost impossible to read, and when you manage to read them they don't cover some pretty basic info that users will need. There don't seem to be any fuller instructions available on line. White text on a pale blue background in menus? What genius thought that was a good combo in a phone aimed at elderly people? It takes both hands to operate, again not great for the elderly or infirm. No predictive text, wtf? No easy way to copy across the contacts from my old phone, I've tried transferring by usb, by blutooth, via my PC, and with an SD card. It just doesn't find them. Bizarre way of displaying text conversations, not sequential sent and received. It doesn't compare well even against a basic Nokia from 5 years ago despite being expensive for a dumbphone, even with the Black Friday discount it is twice the price of a better phone. I'm very disappointed. I've always rated Panasonic gear highly and this was potentially a good phone, but they seem to have made a physically good phone let down by ignoring user needs and expectations on the functionality.

Very complicated, minute texts and instructions, good sturdy construction, okay for SHORT texts, dialling tone short unchangeable, very easy if call is missed, check small details, watch out for long conversations, eats up charging time, conversation can suddenly break up, become garbled, receive texts ok, sending texts, forget it, camera is good but again very difficult to set up, light strong good, sound average, instruction manual microscopic, PATIENCE IS NEEDED THROUGHOUT WITH USE, text is very complicated to use, thus short text and replies recommended, memory is needed for various routines to try to achieve your 'goal'. dexterity is imperative thus usage for the older user, keep away from this mobile phone

About half of the instructions describe how to set the battery on fire or make it explode. The text on the diagram is way too small for anyone to read. Instructions even fail to mention that you have to remove the backshell to installSIM card and battery. No mention of any of the special functions. Web instructions no better. In use, function is marred by unnecessary, excessively loud and very long melody that occurs when switching on or off. Even plays when auto shutdown occurs. No way to adjust or disable. Light only works when phone is switched on. The phone does however work and looks sturdy. Whether the melody will scare an older person from using it is unclear. Charging dock well engineered. Needs a firmware rewrite to make it less offensive and proper instructions. Update, after about 3 months, whilst it was stood on my bedside cabinet it developed a fault. Now it shows two reception bars but with a red cross above them. I think this means that it is not transmitting a beacon signal to negotiate with a cell tower. This is a relatively expensive phone and should give at least 5 years service. It has been handled with great care. I will contact Panasonic when I have the time, but have had to buy an alternative product in the interim which, incidentally, has far better instructions. Perhaps an early 4G adopter, lacking experience, that is best avoided. Red in colour but lemon in use.

Brilliant Flip-phone for my elderly husband to contact me and 2 other contacts. (His smartphone was too complicated). It switches on when opened. It picked up the Govt emergency alarm. It is small and easy to put in his pocket. I can phone him and I can increase the volume so I can hear him when he speaks quietly.

Den var inte på svenska , som doro leva 31 är på. Men sen så är det sen finns det andra sidor i mobilen som är bra...bra pris tycker jag att den har.. Lätt att använda är den...mvh Henry

Ein sehr gutes Seniorenhandy: schlichtes Design, klare Menüführung und intuitive Bedienung ohne überflüssige Funktionen. Die Tasten sind gut fühlbar und das Display ist übersichtlich. Meine Eltern (über 80) fanden sich sofort zurecht, konnten anrufen, SMS lesen und die wichtigsten Einstellungen eigenständig vornehmen. Empfehlenswert für ältere Personen, die ein zuverlässiges, leicht bedienbares Telefon ohne Schnickschnack möchten.

Simpel maar goed als je enkel wil bellen Goede prijs en levertijd

Après avoir commandé 2 téléphones seniors et de les avoir retourné, j'ai pris une "marque" : Panasonic. C'est le jour et la nuit, la sim entre et elle tient bien. La configuration est simple. Un peu plus cher certes. Ce téléphone est fourni avec une station de chargement mais il n'y a pas le chargeur.

Tout conforme.
