welcome everyone on Ricky fan Tech Talk and today we're taking a look at the
fairphone 3 from fairphone and today I want to go through the accessibility
settings and options that we're going to find on this device and see how easy
they are to use so let's guide you through and sit back
and enjoy the video by all means if you have any questions or queries please
drop a comment down below I'll be more than happy to help
so fairphone want to design a phone that's fair for you the consumer so with
a low cost and still including key to all of aspects that we need to enjoy our
device from the cameras the display the power performance is all there so make
sure to check out my full review coming up very soon I've really enjoyed my time
with the fair phone so the fair phone three offers a large display which is a
five point six five inch full HD plus display means it's bright it's vibrant
and I can enjoy all of my content and hopefully so can you and if you have
other abilities there's other options to change and adjust to make this device
easier for you and try and change and manipulate the device - you don't ever
change yourself to a device so that's enough said let's jump into the
accessibility options we find on the fairphone 3 so first of all I just want
to talk about ease of use coming down the left-hand side is where your volume
controls at the top and they are slits there making it easier to identify which
one is which they're on a grade-two black background so a great bus into a
black background which is quite helpful and easier to see then underneath that
you have your power button and this is texturally different so has some ridges
on it so you can tell which button is which I think that's a really good thing
to see being visually impaired that's really helpful to me and also just a
general user might even find that helpful
so that's one aspect I did like about it the device is rugged is works quite
strong and rugged which means it is a little bit more durable compared to some
of the devices that are made up of glass always just try and be careful and also
use they're free through the bumper that comes with it you just slide this over
the top again when you see the buttons here there's slightly different wear it
has the rocker button on the side there so I do recommend using it without that
bumper there moving on to my second point I want to talk about ease of
access that's when you set it up your device so when you first get your device
and you go through the setup process so as I showed you in my setup process
there's an accessibility section where you can go and change settings and
adjust them to yourself I think that's really helpful thirdly there's another
option that we can use before we actually go into
accessibility settings and that's the volume key shortcuts so down that left
hand side press and hold both of them volume keys together so this messages
popped up and this is saying about use the accessibility shortcuts we actually
want to use the shortcuts you can turn it off if you want to so now we've
accepted to use this shortcuts you need to press and hold again it allows
interaction with the device using spoken feedback talkback tutorials now we're on
our home screen but we're actually getting dictation back from talkback
which is a service that's from Google and it's really great to use being
vision impaired myself I've used this and I know I've loads of friends and my
colleagues that also use it and it's very helpful to actually use so at the
top there is actually a green box is highlighted the day and the dates but
obviously you can use that then to go to different applications double tap to
activate double tap and hold to long press so it gives me options there when
you want suggestion move your way through your device use two fingers okay
so we can go the other way you can hear it makes a sign so now when we're back
on the home screen you can also use this up at the top here to find out
information about your notifications and also key aspects so we can select up
here battery 79% so will let me know everything I need to know my key aspects
of my key details about my device talkback is a great feature and I highly
recommend having a go if you have a visual impairment or if you want to just
navigate your way through your device using spoken feedback a really great
option to have here I'm really pleased to see it on this
device so present holding the volume keys together again will actually turn
off talkback so talkback is now off so great features are there now highly
recommend so let's go into settings now so we're going to swipe up here we're
going to choose the gear icon which is our Settings icon you can search for
accessibility up here at the top which is a really handy option I'm really
pleased to see that as well the scrolling down I just want to show you
where it is so it's in the middle of the section
from the bottom it's one two three four five from bottom it's purple in color
and it has a diagram of a statue standing out with its arms and legs of
France so it's called accessibility and inside here we're going to find all the
settings that we can change and modifying so at the top we've got the
volume key shortcut option - inside here you can change in just which option you
actually want to happen so as you know we had talked back that you have color
correction you have color inversion you have accessibility menu select to speak
and switch access so a couple of options to choose there and again you have
settings that you can go through and change also you can use that on the lock
screen coming up underneath is the other spoken feedback which is select to speed
so then turn it on and you've got an agreement here so once it turned on
you've got four or five hundos you got your competitive touch button so you've
got your back you've got your home and you've got your menu option and now
you've got that accessibility factor there again so if I tap this
accessibility statue down here then press play select to speak use service
on settings when select to speak is on you can tap specific items on your
screen to hear them aloud so it read all the way down for me there's other
options as well so if I tap to dismiss this here if I stop and dismiss if I tap
again and then actually tap where I want the text to start to say up here at the
top that means that then it starts where I want it to start so it can be great
for text messages and for when you're going through the internet and reading
different documents also reading new stories it can be really helpful in that
sense as well press the stop and this will disappear obviously you can believe
that toggled on if you want to but we're going to talk about off at the moment
because I'm going to toggle on other services that will have that icon come
up again underneath we then have talkback so obviously I
went through the talkback options that you have also inside here this settings
that you can change modify and make it your own so you can go through each of
these individual settings making it easier for you to use their tweaks and
changes the way that you use your device and uses the talkback option underneath
a option we then have text-to-speech output so this will change the speech
rate and its pitch so I can actually make it go really fast so some of you
might not actually understand that ideas let's slow it down okay so it makes it a
little bit easier change the pitch and then you can press reset it and it
resets for you obviously you can make it slower or make it deeper by toggling
around for them two options it's really nice that you can change the options
inside here underneath that we've got a couple of my other key options I really
do like one being font size it's already set to its largest I do believe it could
have went a little bit larger but it's nice to have that option even here to
actually change it and you have a preview window so if I slide down you'll
see that preview window getting smaller and the text getting smaller as well to
read coming back underneath that we then have display size so I can actually make
this a little bit larger if I want to it just makes it a little bit easier then
to read and again we have a couple of presets to actually see that and also
you could make it smaller if you want to you don't have to always go bigger some
people prefer it smaller so there are two great options I really do like
another option that's really helpful is magnification inside here you have two
options you have magnified with triple tap so let's go inside here once toggled
on three quick taps of the display neckli anywhere on the spare that could
be at the top the bottom no matter where it is corner-to-corner then use two
fingers to manipulate your way around the display we can go to the top here
we've Snead Vodafone you've got the time there as well
you can also pinch into zoom which i think is a really nice option as well as
it is a large display in the full HD Plus display the text looks clear and
sharp for me to read it just makes it easier for me to use my device one two
three to come back and then you're back there is another option where you can
quickly jump in so one two three hold on your third it remembered the level of
zoom you actually zoomed in by using one finger this time we can minute plate our
way around our device and then it's since I release we go back so that's one
option there as well so you have two options inside that one so coming back
then we have magnify word button so if I toggle this on it will bring back our
accessibility icon down here at the bottom like I mentioned
tap this tap anywhere on the display it'll zoom straight in for you again you
can use that pinch option to zoom in and out and then you can use two fingers to
manipulate your way around your device and you can tap that icon again to zoom
straight back out really nice options to see inside here three different ways to
magnify and it just makes it easier reading your device and reading
different content underneath that's we then have color correction so you can
jump inside here we can toggle this on and also you can custom mode as well and
you've got three different options to choose here just depending on your level
of different colors you might need to change that's a really nice option to
see here top off and again this will slightly change and go back to its
normal preset options I think that you have a large mouse cursor so you can use
a mouse cursor with this device to manipulate your way around the device
making it easier if you struggle with interactions with your hands and your
fingers and to think that you have the options to remove animations so the
animations don't bother you it's not too flashy everything just works when you
need it to work one other option underneath here is accessibility menu
too unlike this option and then we've got our accessibility icon down here
again but this time it's not going into one key option we've got loads of
different options to choose from here and I think this is a really great
option even if you're on the home screen we can tap this and then jump straight
into an option which I think it finds hat speak to see and again the
accessibility menu offers so many different services just one tap away
instead of going through all the process of dumping into the menu options I've
showed you here I mean the fact we then have switch access so switch access
offers the ability to use switches and interaction devices with your smartphone
you can connect them up by a USB switch or Bluetooth switch you can use switches
and devices to interact with your smartphone making it easier for you to
use your smart phone at any point which i think is really important I'm really
pleased to see that the magic ants have exiting and come back but if you dive
into settings it's unbelievable the matter settings that Google have
provided here for you to change adjust and tweak to make your own I'm really
pleased to see that there's a really good option there and I really would
like to make a dedicated video on switch access so underneath switch access we
have the world timing and this depends on your interaction as well so you can
change the length of timing I think this is a really nice option quite a new
option that we've seen in the accessibility world and I'm really
pleased to see that on here so you can change how long the action actually
takes to actually come true and again you can link that with other sections of
this accessibility menu I think that's we then have the power
button to end cools she just talked about on and then the power button which
is down the left hand side where that textured feel will actually end your
calls for you so that's a really helpful thing to have
you've got Auto screen rotates at once toggled on bring it around this way you
can then use it this way but obviously some applications that automatically do
this won't leave this setting on it'll just happen so if I toggle this off it
goes back round so it's standard formats I think that's we then have touch and
hold delay again for interaction and control with your smart phone you've got
short medium or long just depending which options you want to use but I
think that's a really important thing to see here I think that we have their
vibration and you can change and adjust the vibration for ringing a notification
and then touch vibration as well so like the haptic touch vibration inside really
nice option to have as well especially when I'm using a keyboard I like to feel
that we don't have mono audio she can change the audio options here and then
you have captions you have the ability to use captions from Google really
pleased to see this on here once toggled on you can change the language have
multiple different languages what it might do is just download this language
in the background for you you also have text size and you have different options
of text size just depending which one is best suited to you and then also you
have caption style and you have six different styles here to choose from so
for myself I would go for the yellow text on a black background too coming
back that's captions there and again I've used this before works really well
and it's really nice to see that on here now finally the bottom we've got
experimental and you've got five contrast text so if you top this on here
you notice that was green it is now black so it changes the contrast a
little bit for you so that's all the settings that we found in the device
there's one setting missing that I haven't seen unless I might have missed
it I did miss it I do apologize is color inversion so color inversion is a great
setting that will invert the colors for you but this will do it's system-wide so
when you home here it will look really different
compared to when it's default option is on so if I toggle this on and then go
back home here you can see the blue background just sort of shows the
difference there it does do apologize I miss that setting that a new ad missed
it as going through my heads but the color inversion option is inside there
and I'm really pleased to see that just before we end the video they might put
some settings in a different section and this is in display sometimes sometimes
they find different things in different sections so it's going to advance so
we've got our brightness level so you can change the brightness you've got
nightlight which i think is a great option here if we turn this on you'll
see the screen start to warm up and get rid of that harsh blue light now I
protect your eyes when using late at night and again once I saw Worf there
you see it returns to default stage again some options to change and adjust
now you can set schedule I think that's really helpful
you also have adaptive brightness that will try and adapt to your lighting and
your surroundings around you which is really helpful as well so good wallpaper
you've got sleep you've got auto screen rotate again font
size display size you've got the network name you've got
screen saver coming down to the bottom just a couple of other options I want to
talk about before we finish one it's been an ambient display so when you
receive a notification it will wake up your screen so I'm going to toggle that
on and also is the Vice theme as well so you have a device theme here so at the
moment is automatic depending on wallpaper we have the light option or
also they offer the dark theme here so want to talk word on we go home here if
I scroll down you'll see now this is a dark section where it was white and
again it's putting some of the settings on side here for me
this white key system white is like some normally this goes to a dark theme as
well but obviously it's not system-wide obviously that might happen with Android
updates which will be coming as always it is currently running Android 9 I
really hope fairphone adopt Android 10 and push it to the fairphone 3 I believe
it should be able to run they will keep you updated in future videos but that
was all the accessibility settings and options that we found on the fairphone 3
from fairphone a really good amount of settings there the standard sort of
settings that we see throughout majority of my videos on accessibility
no new settings which is a shame I do like to see a new setting we've got
little bit lost of thinking that they might have missed that one setting but
that's okay we found that in display they also offer a load more settings
that we went in and found if you do have any questions or queries please do let
me know thank you always watching this video and if you've enjoyed it please
hit subscribe if you haven't already if you have thank you very much and make
sure you ring that notification about that baited with all of my latest videos
for me Ricky and the fairphone 3 I'll see you very soon bye for now
