Senior-Targeted Smartphones

This Fujitsu Smartphone is Providing Easier Access to Communication

— March 26, 2014 — Tech
Fujitsu recently released the STYLISTIC S01 in Orange stores across France.

The STYLISTIC S01 is a Android-powered smartphone that was designed for senior users. Its interface is simple to use and can be operated with a simple touch. It has an emergency buzzer and large tactile buttons with distinctive colors and text for effortless operation, and it is also waterproof, which is a useful yet uncommon feature.

Selling the phone through Orange -- a multinational telecommunications corporation -- will allow easier accessibility for consumers, and be a beneficial tool to hinder concern among the elderly. By creating a straightforward and vital piece of communication, seniors and anyone else can keep their family and friends at ease with a simple notification.
