A phone with large buttons has several advantages. It has physical buttons that are easy to use. In addition, such devices are much less fragile than the touch screen of a smartphone. “KP” gives advice on choosing a device with large buttons in 2022.
Strength
Before buying, think about how this phone will be used. Is there any possibility that it could fall or get scratched on the screen? If you are looking for a durable option, then a flip phone is the best choice.
Internet connection
Think about whether the user needs an Internet connection, perhaps to use instant messengers, social networks, or check email. If this is necessary, then it is worth considering phones of a higher segment.
Ease
How much technical experience does the user have? Is he ready and able to learn? The regular feature phone is the simplest solution here, although it tends to have fewer features than other options on the market.
Vision problems
Many phones with large buttons are bought for older users who may have vision problems. Screen size must be considered so that the user can easily read contact information and text messages.
The larger the screen, the easier it is to read. Also, not all keyboards are the same. Some phones have buttons that are larger and easier to press.
Durability
If the phone is going to be dropped or left in the open a lot, then its durability is key. An unprotected phone screen can be easily broken in case of an emergency. Take care of a cover or case for the device.
Камеры
A good camera may seem like a luxury on these handsets, but for many users it can come in handy. There are models on the market with more or less tolerable quality cameras.
Storage space
If the user plans to store photo and audio files on the phone, it is worth considering how much storage space it provides. Some models allow you to use additional removable memory cards.
