For many of us, smartphones have become an essential part of our daily lives, often requiring us to charge their batteries multiple times a day due to the usage of battery-draining apps like Facebook, Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram. Currys offers a range of mobile phones, broadband, and mobile accessories to keep you connected.
In the race to produce the latest smartphone technology, it’s important to remember that not everyone requires a device that doubles as a portable cinema, gaming console, or camera. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G stands out in the budget category with its premium frosted-glass backplate, a contrast to the usual plastic body of budget phones, as well as its narrow bezels and neat finish.
While mobile phones are essential for staying connected on the go, they often struggle with battery life and signal strength, unlike home phones. For those looking for ease of use, especially as we age, stylish smartphones offer an Android interface, elegant design, and unique features. One such device includes a removable 1200mAh battery that provides up to 21 hours of talk time.
For the blind and partially sighted, smartphones equipped with voiceover functionality can offer significant benefits, as outlined in RNIB’s guide. Additionally, the market includes Doro Phones, loudspeaker phones for the hard of hearing, telephones compatible with hearing aids, and mobile phones specifically designed for deaf individuals. Amplified cordless phones are also available for the elderly.
The best mobile phones for the elderly in the UK as of 2023 are highlighted by TakingCare. It should be noted that TakingCare has no affiliation with any of these phones or manufacturers and does not make personalised recommendations.
