Emporia TOUCHsmart.2 - the ultimate Feature phone with WhatsApp, 4G Clamshell Phone with Touchscreen and keypad - Black/Silver (Official UK and IE Version)

I bought this, although not that elderly, I wanted a simpler, smaller classic style clam phone. I missed the old days and was fed up carrying a mini computer around. The size of the phone is great but you will have to search for a suitable slip case to protect it if you want that. The phone does allow WhatsApp, but does not scan QR codes. You will only have email if you log in through your internet browser, but, in the big scheme of things, I rarely check my email away from home. There is a virtual keyboard if you turn it on which you can use on the touchscreen. However, I am enjoying the old fashioned qwerty keyboard. Beware of enabling answer calls just by flipping it open. Easy to answer, but, we get so many scam calls these days. Pressing Accept is only one action. The voice assistant is great, tells you who is phoning you if it is one of your contacts. The ease of switching on the torch is very useful. The emergency button at the back to contact family if you have an accident is a great idea. No need to even think about opening up the phone and finding your contact. If you are afraid you will set that off by mistake, a second cover is supplied to block that facility out. I suggest a 64 Memory Card to increase your storage if you like keeping photos. I like the automatic silent option overnight if you need to keep your phone beside your bed. You just set a time you want your phone to sound in the morning. No need to set every night. All in all, I am very happy. Not the kind of phone you will sit and play with, but, for me, a phone is for contacting people, not passing my time. I have an I-pad for that at home. I searched long and hard for an Android, 4G touchscreen clam style flip phone. This one has met 90% of my wish list. I may be a bit in the dark ages where phones are concerned because I don’t carry my life on my phone, but this phone makes me happy.

No WhatsApp manual phone would not turn on battery would not charge very diserpointed.

Set up was easy thought it was going to be alright but then found wouldn't let me put WhatsApp on which is one of the reasons for buying so unfortunately had to return

Purchased phone, but would have to say after paying £160 pounds I was hoping it would be a lot more user friendly. OTPs are very, very difficult to retrieve without losing the page, also very limited playstore, and very user unfriendly. Phone in Drawer and not being used.
