our YouTube Ricky here from tech talk
today I'm really pleased to bring you my
full review doro 8030 thanks to doro for
sending this great device out to me so
first of all I just want to show you
round your device and where the buttons
are so if we look here at the left hand
side you can see clearly identified is
your volume controls so you've got
tactile buttons on them and also a
visual symbol so you'll follow Matt
volume down and also you've got your
power switch there which is acts as a
sleep wake button as well looking at the
top of our device you're going to find a
headphone symbol this is where you're
going to plug in your headphones this is
using a 3.5 jack and the headphones come
in in the bottle working here great to
listen to your music and listen to
videos on the right hand side here we'll
see a connection ports for our power to
charge and sync our device also to sit
in its dark so again it's clearly
identified by a raised bump and also a
nice symbol moving down we will find our
camera button there again that has got
tactile feel to it a nice clear symbol
also on this bottom edge here you'll see
tiny little not where you can put your
fingernail in to get in to your battery
and sim card moving to the back of our
device we find our camera underneath our
camera we do have a microphone
underneath the microphone you also find
that assistance button so when pressed
when programmed as well this will
identify and alert people you have
programmed in there might be something
potentially wrong and that's a great
feature that we see on the door oh here
coming down our speaker grill and you've
got a bit of branding as well so looking
at the front of our device you've got
your camera here Brandon is what I
display and also you've got your main
buttons so you've got a menu button home
button back button which I'll talk about
shortly and also you've got a little
microphone in here as well pressing our
home button will wake up the display to
slide to unlock to get into our device
you simply swipe up if you do want some
more security you can actually change
this to a pin pattern or password so now
we're on our home screen
this is called our home screen and let
me talk through these three buttons here
and then I'll talk through the main at
three features that we have on our
device you have a menu button when press
it will show you all open applications
and dismiss these one by one by swiping
away or hit clear all this will clear
all you have your home button which will
always take your time when pressed will
bring up this application drawer where
you can jump into things so we can
search something we can snap a
photograph and also discover listen and
then set a set in pressing home again
will take us back home and we have a
back button which will always take us
back out of something that was
previously in touching and holding the
home button or launch Google and this is
where you can ask Google anything you so
wish in going back home takes us back
home on our home screen here we can have
different folders so we have a folder
here for all the Google applications
again pressing home then you have it my
applications swipe into the left will
show your applications and you've got
two tabs here you can see we downloading
it super marinara run as well tapping at
home button remember will always take
you back home to this device and doro
make it easy for people to use a
smartphone maybe it's set first maybe
someone in your family that's slightly
older generation or someone like myself
that has a disability and maybe can't
use these devices as well as others
first of all doro make it very easy with
these three key things so you either
want to cool someone you want to view
something or you want to send something
to tap it on call it'll ask you do you
want to call a number of contact for a
recent contact then you can choose to
view something so you can view my
messages my emails my call history my
pictures or videos then you have a third
option to send something so you can send
a message send an email send a picture
or video or send a contact cards on your
home screen we've got the time we've got
the date as well and also at the top
here we've got about our battery and
other information if you slide down so
this is called your notification area so
we have a notification here we can
dismiss this or tap on it to either look
sit or dismiss it once again the top
you've got your Wi-Fi bluetooth airplane
mode and also mobile data that you can
toggle on and off you need any more
settings you'll tap this gear icon also
at the top you'll see we have a google
search bar where you can tap the
microphone and you can ask it different
information this phone is nicely easily
set our ease with great use and I think
it offers so many great features please
go and check out our accessibility
feature where we tested out all the
different settings to make this phone
even more accessible for all to use and
well done to doro for doing this does
look stunning and works perfectly well
so as I said before hand this little
notch here down at the bottom corner if
you actually pull this off here all
unclip this is where you're going to
find your battery and your micro SD and
sim card slots where to insert them here
so if you do have any issues like i said
before hand go and check out our basics
video where i showed you how to insert
your sim card and your SD card now I'd
like to move on to specs of this great
door 80 30 festival we're going to start
with a screen it's a 4.5 inch display
here so that's really good and it is
touchscreen as you know it's resolution
is 480 x 854 and that gives us a pixel
per inch of 218 it weighs 142 glam so
it's nice and light it's not too heavy
it's not bulky thing to carry around I
do in your pocket or your bag also it
comes in at 10.1 millimeter thick here
which is not too bad as you can see here
the color is black on the back is a
plastic material but with a soft touch
as well so it's nice and grippy and you
will not drop it so this device uses the
latest in cool technology which is LTE
that means it will use 40 3g or 2g
depending on your network and depending
on the area where you are it also has
bluetooth built-in to work with
headphones to work with Bluetooth
speakers as well and one key thing about
this device that is actually hearing aid
compatible as well so you can use it
here
made with this smartphone bit more about
it processor and speed is running a
quad-core processor it has one gigabyte
of RAM which is plenty enough to use for
your basic applications and for every
day to date it has 8 gigabytes of
storage but can take a micro SD card up
to 32 gigabytes so you can store more
photos and more videos at the moment
this device is slightly running behind
on android 5.1 but this is due to it
coming out in 2016 with their new models
they will be pushing the latest android
software either 6.0 or seven point own
one thing did surprise me with this
great device when using was its battery
life is battery it has lasted forever
and forever which is fantastic and that
is thanks to that two thousand millions
hour battery in the back there but one
key thing is say did one else you can
always buy a replacement which is great
some devices do not let you get to the
battery but with two thousand when it's
our battery you can use this day all day
in every day if you're not a heavy user
of your smartphone and can last up to 25
days on standby which is a fantastic
amount of time moving on to the camera
and video quality of this device first
of all the front facing camera appear is
not too high it's a VGA camera it's
there it's nice to take photos in the
right light the camera on the back other
hand is a 5 megapixel camera and will
take photos very well in good light make
sure you don't do it in the dark as we
don't have any flash on this camera here
video quality is in HD the actual
resolution is 1080i 720p the device will
store to your microSD so it all depends
which one you use price for this device

is available from multiple different
retailers such as carphone warehouse

thoughts on this
I was great for myself being visually
impaired couple of key things jumped out
to me first of all I like to have a
tactile feel to the buttons and each
button has a different tactile feel the
device is simple but easy to use but yet
offers such great features and a great
overall experience and move into a

smartphone you can download apps you can
download movies games TV shows and you
can enjoy your phone and get really
immersed with this extra accessibility
