Emporia Smartphone 5Fantastic gift idea for the man in your life who loves the idea of smartphone technology but maybe struggles a little in understanding and getting to grips with the latest smart phone technology.
This smartphone is a winner when it comes to features and user-friendliness. It has been developed and produced for competent smartphone users who appreciate a device that is intuitive and easy to use while also offering all the great facilities afforded by a modern smartphone.
The triple-lens back camera can produce all sorts of beautiful pictures, not least because it has both an HD mode and an auto mode and can be used to take macro photos as well as good portrait and night-time shots. In addition, the phone has an 8MP front camera for the obligatory selfie.
The speed required for surfing the Internet, playing videos and exchanging WhatsApp messages with family is provided by a high-speed 1.8 Ghz octa-core processor, and to ensure you don't run out of juice when you're out and about, the SMART.5 is equipped with a very strong battery.
The phone comes with emporia's patented interactive Smartcover as standard. This allows important functions (such as the camera, torch, and acceptance and ending of calls) to be used even when the cover is closed. A protected smartphone has never been ready to use so quickly.
Thanks to the proven emporia menu-driven operation and large, easy-to-read buttons, this phone is intuitive and easy to use. Standard applications such as voice input, the pre-installed QR scanner and NFC (Near-Field Communication), which allows you to make cashless, contactless payments at supermarket checkouts, also help make it user-friendly
The handset comes with an instruction manual to help set up your phone AND an illustrated 154-page training book so that users can independently learn or refresh their skills using smart tech. The detailed training book covers basics like touch and swipe to fully explaining how to use the camera, and helps users set up secure contactless payments and understand QR codes.
The new emporia smartphone is IP54-certified (dust- and splash-proof) and equipped with the tried-and-tested emporia emergency button on its back, which enables the user to call for help very quickly.
