Review on Nokia 3310 Dual Sim (2017), dark blue by Elang ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Average quality of the product, especially for the money.

I bought the phone for my grandmother, who does not get along with mobile phones, from the word at all, so the main thing in the phone is ease of handling, large characters on the screen and on the keys, a loud and preferably clear sound (without hiss), the ability to call relatives in an emergency when pressed just one SOS key. I reviewed a lot of options, there is no clear leader among phones for the elderly, unfortunately, everyone has their own shortcomings, so I chose the lesser of evils. There are a lot of reviews on the INOI 118B phone, but most do not reflect the necessary information when choosing a phone, in particular, for the needs of the elderly. This phone left a more unpleasant impression. I hope the manufacturer, or rather the owner of the TM, will take into account the shortcomings of this model and launch a more perfect one on the market, albeit more expensive.

Pros
  • 1) The ability to charge through the docking station (with nuances). 2) Loud speaker (and only). 3) Large and illuminated phone keys. 4) SOS button highlighted in contrasting color.
Cons
  • 1) The contacts for charging from the docking station do not mate with the contacts on the docking station, from which charging is not possible in the standard position of the phone. 2) Micro-usb phone charging connector: you need to insert the cable all the way, and hold it for charging to start, any movement of the charging cable leads to a break in contact. 3) The flashlight / radio switch is made terribly, you can only move from one position to another by lightly touching the nail to the side, if you try to switch it with your finger, then because of the pressure, the walker gets rooted to the spot. 4) In general, the case is flimsy, in the manner of Chinese toys from the 2022s, when removing the back cover you are afraid that it will burst due to awkward handling. 5) The sound from the speaker is also very similar to the sound quality of Chinese toys, so listening to the radio through the phone is a real torture for the ears. 6) The phone interface, or rather the phone control logic, it is not so easy to add a contact to the phone book. 7) The inability to disable the keypad lock when the phone exits the standby mode, you need to provide a complete software shutdown or make a switch on the edge of the phone so that it is easier for older people to unlock the keypad. And better than both.
