Holidays are the time when we connect with our loved ones and tell them that we're thinking about them. However, some of our older or more senior relatives tend to shy away from technology, making it hard for us to reach them. Here are smartphones that might help with that.
1. Samsung Galaxy A32 5G
The Galaxy A32 has a 5,000 mAh battery which is long-lasting. This makes sure that your grandparents won't have to charge the phone often after using it for just a little while. It has a 6.5" edge-to-edge display, which could be big enough so the elders wouldn't have to squint to read.
As suggested by PC Mag, it has 64 GB of storage so they can take photos and store memories for them to look back to. It also features Knox Security, which can be important since they may not know enough to differentiate malware from normal files or downloads.
2. Lively Jitterbug Smart3 Smartphone
The phone is easy to navigate with its huge block app icon on the menu. Its users can easily use voice typing to avoid the struggle of typing using small buttons on the screen. Its powerful speaker will allow for loud audio output, which will help with decreased hearing capabilities.
There are pre-installed brain games to keep the mind sharp and help with boring afternoons. The phone has an Urgent Response button that can get the users the help they need should an emergency arise.
3. OnePlus 8T 5G
It has a 24-hour battery life, as mentioned by Forbes, and a display with high brightness. This makes it easier to see the contents of the screen. The fingerprint unlock will allow the user easy access without having to type in the password every time they open it.
4. Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G
The phone is water resistant, which would protect the phone from any liquid-related incidents. Its battery can last up to 72 hours. Even if it does have a low battery, you can purchase a wireless charger for your grandparents since it is compatible. The face scanner wouldn't require users to type in passwords as well.
5. Nokia G20
The phone has a three-day battery life. The Dual SIM slot can also provide more cellular service options, depending on what you need it for. It's perfect for when all you need anyway are the basic functions of a smartphone.

7. F1 Daisy
If your elders don't really need much aside from texts and calls, maybe you can get a phone that gives just that. The F1 Daisy is a flip phone meant for those two functions. It will have the standard phone features like Contacts, Calculator, SMS, Calls, Calendar, Notes, and more.
