Doro PhoneEasy 612 GSM Sim Free Mobile Phone - Black/White

Product Information

To make charging the battery easy you also get a handy charging cradle included, so you can drop the phone into the cradle to start the battery charging without having to connect the phone via cable. The phone’s menus add to its usability and are clear and easy to navigate, helping even the most technophobic user feel right at home and browse and customise the phone with speed and ease.

We found voices came through loud and clear when making and receiving calls. And Doro has ensured this extra volume results in no sound distortion, with clear audio delivered at all times. The phone is also fully hearing aid compatible, so it’s easy for anyone with hearing difficulties to enjoy clear calls through their hearing device, adding to the excellent call quality.Where this phone really excels, however, is its call quality. Doro has worked hard to ensure it delivers clarity and volume that far exceed the levels found on other clamshell phones on the market.

This model is made entirely from plastic, so doesn’t exactly look classy. However, Doro has added a roughened texture to the top of the outer part of the phone and used a rubberized finish on the battery cover. Both help to make it pretty grippy to hold, which is important for its target audience. It’s fairly large too, measuring 100mm tall when closed and 190mm tall when open, but we don’t think this is a negative as it means there’s plenty of room for a large keyboard and screen. The screen on the PhoneEasy 612 relatively large for a clamshell handset, as it measures 49x36mm. The resolution isn’t amazing at 320×240 pixels, but it’s more than enough for this type of phone as there are no internet features and the menu system only really shows one large icon on the screen at a time. The display is very bright too, and unlike a lot of cheaper phones it’s easy to read even when you’re looking at it from an angle.Aimed at its target audience of older users, a large button on the rear of the device can be used to text and call a preset list of emergency numbers with just one press of the button, should they need help. Providing a great tool for older people that live alone, a lanyard is included for keeping the phone close to hand at all times.
