In modern society, young people are busy with work and short of time, so they are often powerless to take care of their parents. Many young people even become ants like Beipiao in order to make a living. Let alone take care of their parents, they can't even see each other for a year. As the saying goes: parents, not far away. However, this sentence seems somewhat helpless in modern society. More people have to travel around to make a living. As a link to parents, mobile phones are the most important tool in the communication between children and parents. The author is also one of those people who are busy with their lives. Her mother is a genuine rural woman with a low educational level. She can only understand numbers and some simple Chinese characters, and her eyes have grown old with age. The author also tried to give his mother a red rice mobile phone and set the elderly mode, but she was still unable to get used to this modern tool, so he has been using the traditional elderly machine. The biggest advantage of the traditional elderly machine is large font, simple to use, but there is also the problem of too simple functions.

The author recently got a very good mobile phone for the elderly. It is from Shenzhen Pudal Technology Co., Ltd. Pudal L1 mobile phone for the elderly. The packaging of the mobile phone is very festive, and the author personally feels that it should be loved by the elderly. After all, the elderly like to celebrate a little.

In terms of mobile phone accessories, in addition to the mobile phone, it also provides a switching power supply, a power supply line, a removable battery for the mobile phone, and a lanyard.

For mobile phone products, we young people may not need a manual to get started easily, but for the elderly, it is recommended to read it. However, since many elderly people are low educated users, it is recommended that users learn how to teach the elderly to use it hand by hand.

The mobile phone is powered by MicroUSB interface, and the power supply is wide voltage input, DC5V/1A output. The power supply has passed CE certification and other certifications, making it easier to use.

In order to facilitate the use of the elderly, L1 is considerate to provide a lanyard for the forgetful elderly to hang their mobile phones.

L1 provides black and red for users to choose from. The black version is the one on hand, and the front of the phone is the keyboard and screen.

On the back of the mobile phone is the heart rate test part and the sound hole design. The dense sound holes ensure the volume of the elderly phone. Since hearing loss is common among the elderly, the elderly phone still needs a very loud volume.

The mobile phone adopts the design of removable battery, which is very convenient to use. Of course, in order to facilitate the use of parents, you can also purchase spare batteries. However, in my personal opinion, as an elderly phone, a battery is enough for users.

The mobile phone uses a large SIM card design, and smart phone products currently generally use a small card design, so a card sleeve may be required. In order to facilitate the elderly to listen to songs or dramas, the mobile phone also provides a TF card slot. However, considering that the elderly generally do not download, children are still required to download their parents' favorite songs to the TF card in advance.

The heart rate test module is provided at the top of the back, while the speaker is designed at the bottom. The large speaker ensures the sound effect.

The L1 elderly machine uses a 1500mAh 3.70V lithium ion battery. The charging current is about 700mA, and the charging time is about 2.5 hours. Although it is not a fast charging design, the charging time is acceptable due to the small battery capacity.

In addition to the basic information such as time and signal, the home page of the elderly machine also provides the function of heart rate display and motion data.

The mobile phone's keyboard is a large number keyboard commonly used by older phones. The keyboard area is large, which is convenient for older people to watch and use. The keys bounce back forcefully and are not easy to be touched by mistake. At the bottom of the screen is Pudal's logo in Chinese and English.

Compared with the current smartphone becoming thinner and thinner, L1 has not given too much consideration in this regard, but it is understandable that, after all, the back of the elderly phone is specially designed with a heart rate module, and the volume of this module also limits the thickness of the phone in a certain way. There are three buttons on the side of the phone, the volume increase/decrease button and SOS distress button.

The bottom of the phone is designed with a charging port.

The most characteristic function of L1 is the heart rate and blood oxygen test function. When the heart rate test module of the mobile phone is opened, the heart rate test function will be automatically started when the mobile phone is inserted, and the blood oxygen and heart rate will be displayed on the screen, and the system will judge whether the heart rate is normal or not.

The mobile phone is very convenient to operate with one hand. Although the size of the mobile phone is not small, it can be controlled with one hand.

The mobile phone provides the SMS function. In order to take care of the elderly at home, they generally cannot operate SMS. The voice king function of L1 is very practical. Turn on SMS to read automatically, and the elderly can also easily use SMS.

Of course, the most important function of the mobile phone is the phone function. The font of the phone dialing page can be easily used even by elderly users with slight presbyopia or cataract.

The attention of the elderly to the weather forecast sometimes surprises the author. Every time I go back to my hometown, I always see the elderly asking people who like to listen to the radio how the weather has been in recent days. I don't know whether the radio weather forecast will bring more accurate information to users in the long-term user experience. Anyway, the author feels that the rural elderly around me, I believe more in the weather forecast on the radio. The L1 elderly phone provides the weather forecast function, which can easily observe the weather through mobile phones.

At present, smart phones generally have a step recording function. At present, many users like to observe their movement status through QQ step recording ranking. As for the function of bracelet products, the biggest function is movement recording. L1 geriatric machine agrees to have sports function, but the author's actual experience shows that the step recording function is slightly insufficient, but for the elderly, it can also be an important health reference.

How can the elderly in the family conveniently and quickly notify their children or relatives when encountering an accident? Through the SOS function, they can quickly contact their children at home. The L1 elderly machine can send help seeking information to three groups of users at the same time, and also provide voice help seeking function for emergency use.

One of the functions that the author likes most about mobile phones is the gesture hands-free function. If the elderly at home need to make hands-free calls when answering the phone, they do not need to operate the buttons. The handsfree function can be realized by placing the mobile phone horizontally. When the mobile phone is close to the ear, the handsfree function will be automatically turned off.

In order to facilitate the contact between children and parents, mobile phones provide APP for children to use. The binding function can be realized by inputting the IMEI and mobile phone number of L1. The homepage of APP is very simple, including heart rate, blood oxygen, positioning, exercise and real-time positioning functions.

The APP provides parents' exercise status, heart rate and blood oxygen testing functions, curve ladder diagrams, etc., which can easily observe parents' daily activities, and facilitate users to determine the mental and physical conditions of the elderly at home.

The recording function of exercise status is very complete, especially the statistical function. Daily statistics provides the step statistics in the morning and afternoon of the day. The daily exercise record and reading step curve statistics function look very intuitive.

Another important function of the L1 elderly phone is that it can obtain the geographical location of the elderly at home anytime and anywhere through the APP. At the same time, it provides Baidu Maps and Google Maps for users to choose. It is more practical for the elderly at home with senile amnesia.

What is the most popular smartphone application for young people? For Chinese people, it is estimated that WeChat ranks first. WeChat can easily and quickly communicate via voice, which is convenient for users to use. It may be difficult for the elderly with relatively low educational level to use WeChat, but the same function as WeChat chat can be achieved through a downward button on the mobile phone.

Summary

The Pudal L1 elderly mobile phone has functions such as big button, voice call, SOS one button help, heart rate, blood oxygen and audio file play. Through APP, data statistics can be achieved and it is convenient to monitor the position of the elderly anytime and anywhere. Although the price is 499, I personally think it is worth it. After all, human care is more important.
