Modern but simple: The Nokia 2360 flip phone is made for seniors and kids
Sometimes, the seniors in our lives have difficulty using iPhones and Androids. Smartphones are complicated no matter how many times you teach them how to use it.
However, it's still important to get in touch with them, so a phone that can do the bare minimum—texts and calls—may be more than enough.
Enter the Nokia 2360 Flip. This retro phone is actually built for the elderly and is a perfect first phone for kids.
It features a 2.8-inch display with big icons and clear text, so it's easy to navigate, and a classic 12-button alphanumeric keypad. Folded, the phone has a 1.77-inch external screen that shows the time and the caller ID, so the user will know who's on the line.
What also makes this phone perfect for seniors and young kids is the dedicated SOS button, which, when held for three seconds, calls a pre-set number and calls up to five emergency contacts.
Family members can easily set up and manage the phone through the Family Assist app, available on the App Store and Google Play, on their device. Through the platform, they can add contacts, set reminders, and even adjust the volume of the phone.
Furthermore, School Mode can be turned on to block distracting apps like games and the camera, leaving only functionalities for the clock and emergency calls.
The Nokia 2360 Flip is equipped with a removable 1,450mAh battery that can last up to 15 days in standby and up to 27.5 hours when used for calls.
It's available for P2,790 via Shopee and Lazada in Charcoal, Burgundy Red, and Teal.
