Product Information

Our trained ergonomic assessors test everything from how easy the phone is to set up to how well-spaced the keys are on the phone to make sure you're not getting a phone with a cramped keyboard that's hard to type on. Soak in all the photo-taking glory with the Emporia Smart.5’s triple rear camera. This set-up consists of a 13MP main lens, a 2MP secondary lens and an additional 2MP third lens. Worried about the lighting of your photos being poor? Don't worry this handset also has an LED Flash to give you that much-needed brightness and detail! You see, this is a phone aimed squarely at the older generation. The device, with its chunky plastic frame and mega-simplified UI, isn’t shy about this. And I must admit, my curiosity was piqued. The S5 is a simple smartphone with large text and simplified menus, but it still maintains all the functionality of a smartphone. Zooming can be undertaken by pinching the screen as smartphone users normally would, but there are also +/- signs on the right side of the screen to help zoom in and out.

This phone caught my attention for another reason. Christmas is coming up, and if you’re looking to buy a smartphone for an older relative, there aren’t any great options.

As a man who struggles to grip things sometimes thanks to a health condition, getting the rear cover off was a bit of a mission. There is a decent groove on the cover to allow a fingernail to be inserted, but it does feel as though you're pulling the phone apart. If someone wasn't sure about setting up a device, they might not have the confidence (or the dexterity) to do that. The Emporia SMART.5 is definitely a great device for the senior market and even makes the phone look less like a senior phone and more like a device I would consider being in my mid-30s based on the design.When I was handed the Emporia Smart.5 to review the camera on, I wasn’t expecting much as this phone is geared to the “older” generation so I wasn’t expecting much from the camera on this handset… WOW, was I surprised with this 13 + 2+2 Megapixel triple-lens camera and 8mp front-facing lens.
