How Easy Is the Emporia S4 to Use for the Elderly?

The Emporia Smart S4 is designed to be the ideal entry point into the world of modern technology, with features such as the in-phone App installer guide, this smartphone for seniors makes it easy to dive into the wonders of the modern world. The comprehensive user guide and training manual are written in clear, concise language to help with any features you're finding difficult. 

Will I Be Able to Hear This Phone?

Emporia phones are consistently designed to be both clear and loud, allowing for easy and stress free communication. The Emporia Smart S4's volume is fully adjustable and can accommodate users with a wide range of different hearing abilities, making this phone ideal for those who are hard of hearing. 

How Easy Is Reading the Screen?

With a large 5" touchscreen that includes 1" square icons, this is one of the easiest-to-read smartphones that money can buy – the giant icons make menu navigation as intuitive and simple as pressing a button. If you wish to read emails, messages or browse the internet then the easy-to-find and simple-to-use magnifier app can be employed like a physical magnifying glass to enhance the size of both text and images.  

How Good are the Emporia Smart S4's Cameras?

The main camera on this phone boasts an impressive 13 megapixel resolution, capable of taking extremely detailed pictures that capture those special moments perfectly. This phone also includes a 5 megapixel resolution front camera that is ideal for use during video calls or for taking selfies. The intuitive picture messaging, video chat and camera features make this a fantastic option for staying in touch in a new, more vibrant and engaging way. 

Can I Assign Photos to Contacts?

Yes, you can assign a photo to each of your contacts, which will be displayed beside the contact's name in your phonebook. This allows for easy recognition of friends and loved ones, which can be very useful for those with memory difficulties.

How Does the Emergency Button Feature Work?

The optional heart shaped Emporia emergency button is located at the back of the phone, underneath the camera and has a fivefold set of safety features that help give you and your loved ones peace of mind. It can be easily disabled by using the spare phone back included in your purchase, which completely covers the emergency button, preventing it from being pressed.

Emporia Heart Shaped Emergency Button

The Fivefold Safety Features Are:

  1. When the emergency button is pressed, up to five predefined contacts that you choose when setting up the phone will be called until someone answers. 
  2. The phone will automatically go to loudspeaker mode so that communication can be clear and audible despite limited mobility or other issues. 
  3. A pre-prepared emergency SMS text will be sent to an emergency number. 
  4. GPS-enabled phones will provide their coordinates with the emergency call, allowing emergency services to know the exact location of the person pressing the emergency button. 
  5. A loud alarm tone will sound when the emergency button is pressed to help draw the attention of anyone in the vicinity to the emergency situation. 

Is This Phone Waterproof?

While we don't recommend taking your phone with you when you go for a swim, it is certified with  IP54-rated splash resistance, meaning you don't have to worry if it gets wet. This rating also means it's dust resistant which helps extend the lifetime of the phone, meaning you get more value for money.

Does the Emporia S4 Smartphone Have a Torch?

Yes, as is the standard for most modern mobile phones, a bright torch is included at the rear. This is great for any time you find yourself in a dark situation, and also provides a nice flash for low-light pictures.

What Other Features Does This Phone Have?

  • Pre-installed internet browser 
  • Pre-installed WhatsApp
  • Weather checking application
  • Full Email functionality
  • Assign photos to contacts for easy recognition
  • Alarm clock that includes a snooze function
  • Vibrating alert which is ideal for the hard of hearing
  • A calendar to help keep track of important dates
  • A calculator to make challenging maths easy
  • Fully hands-free compatible

How Fast is This Smartphone?

With a 1.5Hz Quadcore processor, this phone will switch between apps and complete tasks instantly with snappy speed. It's also fully Wi-Fi enabled and able to connect to the fastest 4G networks, allowing you to browse the internet quickly and efficiently.

What Kind of SIM Card Does This Mobile Use?

This phone is designed to use a Nano-SIM, which is the most modern and smallest SIM card available. The Nano-SIM can hold the most data relative to size and allows the phone to combine having loads of memory and a slim, sleek design. 

Does the Emporia S4 Simple Smartphone Support 5G?

No, the Emporia S4 Smartphone is compatible with 4G signal only and will not support 5G connectivity.

Which Networks Will This Phone Work With?

The Emporia Smartphone for Seniors is supplied unlocked, meaning that it will work with SIM cards from all major UK mobile networks. Simply insert the Nano-SIM from your choice of network provider and the phone will do the rest.

This is said to be a phone for the elderly with a comprehensive(?) instruction manual BUT nowhere in it could I find anything explaining how to make/receive A PHONE CALL or send/receive TEXT MESSAGES!

Hi Dennis,

Many thanks for getting in touch and for taking the time to leave a review with us.

To access the phone call function on the Emporia Smart S4, simply click the green reciever icon on the front of the phone. This will then bring up two "Phonebook" or "Keypad" option for you to select from. If you wish to dial a contact that is already in your phone, select "Phonebook" and scroll through your list of contacts. If you are dialling a new number, select "Keypad" and dial the number you require using the buttons on the screen.

With regard to text messaging, select the icon represented by an envelope on the front screen and follow the same steps as above. You can send a message to a new number, or you can send a message to a contact already programmed into your phone.

I hope this information helps you get a bit more out of your device.

Kind regards,

Seth at Health and Care

A good phone with easy to use controls. Having a printed instruction book is a real bonus.
