December 2023 Elder purchase recommendation

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-01-29

The elders' mobile phone use demands have been sorted out, and there are probably the following aspects:

The minimum standard is that it does not jam for daily use, and does not lag for at least 1-2 years

Large battery, battery life should be sufficient;

The signal should be good;The storage and storage should be large, and the elders may not often clean up the background and system garbage

The system is simple and easy to use, easy to operate, if there is a large font, easy mode is better;

Be loud;The screen is not dazzling;

After-sales service is very important, after all, the elders do not understand online cloud after-sales, and it is best to find after-sales outlets nearby if there is a problem with the mobile phone.

SoC chips

At least it must be a mid-range chip, no less than Snapdragon 695, Dimensity 900, if it can be the last flagship, or the flagship chip is better (depending on the use of the elders, and the specific budget is decided).

Screen eye protection effect

Now the display effect of the mobile phone screen is not bad, but the difference in eye protection effect is still very large.

Most of the eyes of parents and elders are not as good as young people, so they should be more careful, you can give priority to LCD screen models, if it is an OLED screen model, it finally has high-frequency PWM dimming, secondary DC dimming.

Endurance experience

The bigger the battery, the better, preferably no less than 5000mAh (no less than 4800mAh is recommended if equipped with a flagship SoC chip).

The faster the charging power, the better, and if the budget is low, don't force it, after all, the priority is not as good as the battery capacity.

System experience

The system should be easy to use, and the experience should be good, it is best to have the elderly mode, simple mode, large fonts, large icons, etc., this aspect is recommended hhovm (Huawei, Honor, OPPO, vivo, Xiaomi) a few more.

Offline after-sales

Problems with older mobile phones are generally difficult to deal with, and priority is given to brands with more offline after-sales service stores.

Miscellaneous

It is recommended that the storage should not be lower than 6g, preferably 8g doxxing, 12g is better.

The storage space is not as high as the storage requirements, for many seniors 128g is enough to use, 256g or 512g can be used for a longer time.

It is best to have dual speakers, or a single speaker that is loud enough (especially if the elders have some behind-the-ear sound).

As for the body material, weight and thickness, photo experience, whether there is NFC, etc., it is not very important, and the above aspects can be prioritized, which can be made according to the specific needs of the elders.

Turn on the computer, enter the system, and delete the third-party apps that come with the system and are not used

Transfer the contents of the old phone (contacts, call logs, SMS, WeChat chat history, etc.) to the new phone;

* Mobile apps often used by good elders, and help log in to accounts (such as WeChat, Douyin, National Anti-Fraud Center and other essential apps for elders);

Find "App Permission Management" in "Settings" and turn off the notification permissions of some apps to avoid too many messages and cause interference (such as limited traffic and limited mobile networks for some software).

If the phone has a "pure" mode, set the pure mode to prevent third-party apps from inducing unknown apps

Set the input method, if the elders do not know pinyin, five strokes, then set as a handwriting input method;

If the elders have presbyopia, they can be set to a large font icon or simple mode

Assist elders to record screen fingerprints or side fingerprints.

If there are children in the family who like to play with mobile phones and install software randomly, it is recommended to set up a "face unlock" (fingerprint unlock is used to boot the phone, face unlock is used to open the app, or vice versa), which is specially used to unlock some applications that do not want children to open (such as games, app markets, WeChat, browsers, etc.), and the personal test is very useful

In addition, you can consider starting a matching flip phone case for the elderly, which is relatively more resistant to falling, and can be used as a bracket to make it more convenient to see**.

Smartphones have been popularized for nearly 10 years, in fact, most of the elders will use some simple functions of smart phones, but we should still teach our elders some new skills to use mobile phones, just like when we were children, they taught us to write and eat.

Now smart phones are basically full-screen mobile phones, so first teach elders to use full-screen gestures (if elders are not Xi to full-screen gestures, be sure to change back to the bottom three diamond keys);

Teach the elders how to clean up the background so that the phone doesn't freeze for a long time

Teach to set and remember the password so that you can't use your phone when your fingerprint can't be unlocked(Generally, after restarting or 72 hours after the last password unlock, you need to use the password to unlock again).

Tell your elders how to install apps from the App Market

Church elders take photos and take pictures** (usually);

Tell your elders that you don't click on unidentified links posted on the Internet to prevent being deceived.

Tell the elders how to use WeChat**, as well as WeChat to grab red envelopes and send red envelopes;

Church elders use Alipay (or WeChat) to pay water, electricity, and gas bills, and pay personal social security and pension insurance NCMS.
