Doro 7010

The Doro 7010 is an easy to use phone with a simple character. Nevertheless, this is a 4G phone with WhatsApp and Facebook.

Assistance button

Doro is a phone brand that is mainly aimed at an older target group. For those who don't need all that much or for those who are looking for a phone with functions such as an extra loud speaker or an emergency button. This Doro 7010 has that too, but it is also equipped with modern features like WhatsApp, Facebook and a camera. A phone that is reassuring but also one that is modern and updated. The 7010 is designed like a classic phone with a numeric keyboard underneath the screen. The round control key is used to navigate through the menu, and the numbers are used to make a call or enter a message. On the back, next to the camera, there is an alarm button, also called the assistance button. Once pressed it calls a preferred contact. If he doesn't answer, the Doro will call the next contact on the list of favorites. It will also send a text message with the location if you are unable to answer.

Smartphone in disguise

The Doro 7010 may not look like one, but it is a smartphone. One with 4G internet for quick searches on the go, and with WiFi for fast internet at home. You can run apps on it like WhatsApp and Facebook so you can stay in touch with others. You can take photos. You shoot them with the built-in 3 megapixel camera. It is a simple camera but at least it is possible to shoot something. There is even a flash. The built-in speaker can be extra loud and there is T3/M3 support for hearing aids (HAC).
