Next to these there is a dedicated button to take you to the SMS screen and above this you’ll find double height buttons for the call answer and call end buttons as well as big up and down buttons to move you through the 612’s simple menus. These are used in conjunction with two software buttons that are mapped to the various functions that appear on the screen when you’re in the phone’s main menu.

Doro has worked hard to ensure it delivers clarity and volume that far exceed the levels found on other clamshell phones on the market.Aimed at its target audience of older users, a large button on the rear of the device can be used to text and call a preset list of emergency numbers with just one press of the button, should they need help.

PETER - 2020-01-08 13:27:22 Doro’s phones are aimed at oldies, but not the type of oldies that are happy to use the latest iPhone or Android smartphones. Instead they’re targeted at people who struggle to use those types of phones either because they find them too complicated or they have limited dexterity in their fingers, suffer from poor eyesight or are hard of hearing. As such, the Doro PhoneEasy 612 is designed from the ground up to be as easy as possible to get the hang of. Doro PhoneEasy® 100w is a cordless telephone with an easily read display and extra clear sound. It’s also equipped with large keys that make the telephone simple to use.

At just 103g it is a light phone and feels great in the hand. Its curved edges and textured finish make it very comfortable to hold and ensure a firm grip so the device won’t be dropped. The Doro PhoneEasy 612 is a clamshell-style smartphone that boasts a rear camera with a 2 MP resolution. Its display resolution is 320 x 240 pixels, and it does not have a touchscreen or external display. However, it does support flash cards, such as MicroSD (TransFlash), and its single SIM card capability is compatible with data networks like GPRS and GSM. Its 2G bands (primary SIM) support 900, 1800, and 1900 MHz. The ear piece is a tad louder than a normal phone, although not excessively so. What is different, though, is that at full volume it remains very crisp and clear with none of the distortion that typically affects cheaper phones when they’re set to full volume. Battery life is also top notch. Doro quotes a talk time of 12 hours and standby time of around three weeks and these figures seemed pretty accurate from our experience with the handset.Otherwise, this is a great phone for older phone buyers to enjoy. And the careful attention to detail and handy features help it effortlessly stand out from rival devices on the market.

The phone’s menus add to its usability and are clear and easy to navigate, helping even the most technophobic user feel right at home and browse and customise the phone with speed and ease.

In other respects the PhoneEasy 612’s specification is pretty modest. There are no internet or social media features, but you do get a calendar function and it has a built-in FM radio that you can use when the headset is attached. This has good reception and although it doesn’t have RDS it does allow you to save stations as presets and assign names to them. We test every mobile phone we review thoroughly. We use industry standard tests to compare features properly and we use the phone as our main device over the review period. We’ll always tell you what we find and we never, ever, accept money to review a product. This model is made entirely from plastic, so doesn’t exactly look classy. However, Doro has added a roughened texture to the top of the outer part of the phone and used a rubberized finish on the battery cover. Both help to make it pretty grippy to hold, which is important for its target audience. It’s fairly large too, measuring 100mm tall when closed and 190mm tall when open, but we don’t think this is a negative as it means there’s plenty of room for a large keyboard and screen.
