These features are expected to protect the elderly from many cases of fraud. The device, which made a big impact in the mobile world, may appear with much more advanced models if it sees the expected demand. Here are all the details about the subject…
Sharp’s new old phone became a hot topic
While the fact that the device has physical buttons is highly welcomed by senior citizens, the interface of the product prioritizes ease of use and contains easier-to-see icons. These innovations, which were introduced after observing the problems experienced by the elderly with other phones for a long time, are expected to be an important example for similar models. The device will also have an answering machine powered by artificial intelligence.
The product also includes a 50MP main camera and an 8MP front camera. Powered by new generation technologies, cameras automatically determine the optimum shooting mode. It is stated that the device with the Snapdragon 695 processor will offer 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage space.
While the battery capacity stands out as 4,000 mAh, NFC and eSIM support will also come with this model. Complying with the IP68 standard, Basio Active 2 provides significant resistance against water and dust. It is currently unclear whether the device, which was released in its homeland of Japan with a sales price of $276, will be sold in Turkey.
The trifoldable phone is coming!
Huawei, which wants to be eliminated from the smartphone market, is working on a triple-folding phone. It turned out that the company had received a patent.
