The Gigaset GL390 smart phone is particularly handy, is easy to use and has a timeless titanium silver look. The 2.2-inch color display, a camera for snapshots, FM radio, alarm, calculator and torch round out the appealing package. Like a fixed-line phone, the GL390 is quick and easy to charge by placing it in the charging station that comes with the device - there is no need to search for a cable or - a problem for elderly hands - to connect it up to the small micro USM port. The smartphone rarely needs to be charged thanks to its long talk times of up to 9 hours and the extra-long battery life of around 550 hours.
The internal memory can be increased by 32 GB with a microSD card - enough for many photos of family and friends, as well as countless hours of enjoyment listening to music or audio books. The phone also has a dual SIM slot that can hold two SIM cards at the same time - an exciting feature for non-seniors who mainly want a device for voice communication and therefore do not need a smartphone.
With its and lean form, the Gigaset GL390 fits into any waistcoat pocket. The clearly labeled, extra-large and separated keys make using it easy. The keypad's backlighting improves legibility in poor lighting conditions. The integrated torch, which can be turned on and off by means of a side button, helps shed light in the dark. The ringtone and call volumes can be set to "very high," ensuring users can hear when the phone is ringing and understand calls perfectly. The GL390 also boasts hearing aid compatibility.
