Who should youngsters have all the fun? Best smartphones for senior citizens
Although it may be shocking in today’s world that is smartphone-centric, yet it is true that everyone doesn’t need a smartphone which has the latest gestures, apps or a continuous stream of Facebook feeds. Seniors are still falling behind when it comes to using the latest smartphones with the best features. They are still just in need of a phone that just helps you receive and make calls.
However, the good news is that there are different smartphones in the market today which are entirely focused on the entire community of senior citizens and retirees.

Its display is 750X1334 pixel, 4.7 inch display which makes it simpler for the seniors to read through texts.

Alcatel A383G
The Alcatel A383G runs on the prepaid network of Tracfone, Big Easy Plus and it is a device that has been created keeping in mind the seniors that have a bright keypad, 3G connectivity and large font.
