What should be considered when choosing a mobile phone for the elders? How can we buy a cheap and easy-to-use mobile phone for the elders?

Nowadays, smartphones have entered thousands of households, and even the elders in the family have started using smartphones. Is it time to replace the elderly in the family with a new phone in the new year? When buying a phone for the elders, we must consider their needs and choose a phone that suits them. So how do we choose a smartphone suitable for the elders?

What to consider when choosing a mobile phone for your elders

Elders' requirements for mobile phones are roughly as follows:

1. The minimum standard is that the device will not lag during daily use and will not lag for 1-2 years;

2. Large battery, sufficient battery life;

3. The signal should be good;

4. The RAM and storage should be large, as the elders may not always clean up the background and system garbage;

5. The system is simple and easy to use, and easy to operate. It would be better if it has large fonts and simple mode;

6. The sound should be loud and the screen should not be dazzling;

7. After-sales service is very important. After all, the elders do not understand online cloud after-sales service. It is best to find a nearby after-sales outlet when there is a problem with the mobile phone.

How can I buy cheap and good mobile phones for my elders?

You can use price comparison tools such as Miaomiaozhe, Wochacha, and What’s Worth Buying to check the historical price changes of mobile phones on major e-commerce platforms, and compare the difference between the current selling price and the lowest historical selling price to avoid missing out on the lowest discount or wasting money. At the same time, you should also pay attention to price protection. Pay attention to price fluctuations after purchase. Currently, the self-operated products of several major domestic e-commerce platforms have price protection functions. Generally, if the price of mobile phones drops within 7 days, you can apply for price protection and refund the price difference. Some Tmall stores also have price protection commitments. Please refer to the product introduction of each store for details, or contact customer service for consultation.

Teach your elders how to use smartphones

1. Pay attention to cultivating the interests of the elderly. You can show your relatives the convenience that smart phones can bring to them. For example, share videos of grandchildren on your parents' WeChat; if your mother likes square dancing, you can download Youku for her to find square dancing tutorials, which will definitely work; if your father likes to read political history, then downloading two novels about great men's biographies will definitely arouse their interest in using smart phones. I have tried this method many times and it has never failed. At least this is how my parents started using smart phones under my inducement.

2. Only teach one point at a time, don't teach too much. Don't try to teach them a lot of functions at once, which will make them dizzy. The best way is to teach them one point, and repeat it many times, and let the elderly operate it several times in front of you, so that they can master it more firmly.

3. Never show disdain or impatience at any time!
