Easyfone Shield
Easyfone makes great products, specifically senior-friendly ones with multiple features to make life easier for senior members of the family. Their new ‘Shield’ is ultra-tough and durable with IP 68 protection (waterproof, shock/dust-proof). I’ve been using it as my secondary phone for the past few weeks and appreciate many of the features unique to this device. Diving straight in; Shield is easy to hold and very simple to set up and use, the form factor is ideal not only for seniors but also if you wish to travel extensively with a durable device. The 2.8 inch IPS screen is remarkably clear and amply large enough to view calls, texts, images and the occasional video. The Keypad is large and legible. It’s the battery life where Shield is king, I managed to get runtime of almost five days with a few calls, texts and videos each day while standby is huge stretching past three weeks with battery still left. I like the SOS button which automatically activates a call to pre-set contacts in moments of duress or a true emergency. Whitelist is another great feature where I can decide only X number of people can get in touch with me. The sturdy phone also supports mp3, mp4 files as well as FM and expandable storage. To summarise, not only is Shield ideal for seniors but also anyone with an ultra active lifestyle including hikers/trekkers and bikers. Shield also has an excellent torchlight and acts as a powerbank when in need, providing upto 2500mAh. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an ultra hardy phone. flipkart.com easyfone.in
