KX-TU550EXB 4G Essentials Clamshell Mobile Phone for Elderly, 1.2MP Camera, Senior Phone with Large 2.8" Display, 300 Hours Standby Time, Blue

Nice flip phone I keep as a backup to my main iPhone. Good clear sound and display. I have a couple of other feature phones and find this one easier to use in navigating the menus - all pretty logical as you have 4 way rocker with central OK action plus two flexible menu/action buttons either side. Takes nano-sim like my iPhone and memory card for extra storage of photos etc. Photo resolution ranges upto 1280x960 which is very good for a non smartphone. Also brightness, contrast, exposure-bias, multi-shot, white balance, self-timer. So way better than most feature phones. Coupled with it's three single button favourite phone contact and an emergency call button on the back, it could be the ideal older person's phone. No video option-just still photos which it does a good job of. It also has simple illuminated icons when phone closed to indicate a phone call, message, low battery. Oh battery lasts for days and usb-c charge port. Bluetooth and 3.5mm earphones support. Extras include an easy to use 4 function calculator with M+ M- +- etc. Good calendar with daily weekly monthly views. No games. Good/Bad it depends on you. In summary very good phone if you don't want a smartphone.

Super phone - I'm really pleased with mine. I bought it mainly to use as a back up phone for home and also because the EE signal here on my iphone is not great, but the SMARTY signal in the house is good - so I'm using this Panasonic as you would a landline, basically. Much cheaper than an actual landline, and great for emergency use. I bought this for about £38 on Amazon Warehouse (used, excellent condition). For me (44yrs old) - I have had no issues using the phone or working out settings, volumes etc - it's pretty straighforward to use and no instruction manual neeeded for me at least. Love the old school flip action to answer/hang up. Battery life seems excellent so far. Cal quality is very good but not perfect. According to Panasonic this phone is enabled for HD voice calls (also called VoLTE)… which basically uses the 4G network to enhance call quality. My SIM/provider I don’t think has yet rolled out this service to my area so I’m hoping this will soon happen so that call quality is even better.

Purchased for my 87 year old Mother. Easy to use and loud enough for her. Only let down is battery life if out and about....really poor compared to a smart phone!

Very complicated, minute texts and instructions, good sturdy construction, okay for SHORT texts, dialling tone short unchangeable, very easy if call is missed, check small details, watch out for long conversations, eats up charging time, conversation can suddenly break up, become garbled, receive texts ok, sending texts, forget it, camera is good but again very difficult to set up, light strong good, sound average, instruction manual microscopic, PATIENCE IS NEEDED THROUGHOUT WITH USE, text is very complicated to use, thus short text and replies recommended, memory is needed for various routines to try to achieve your 'goal'. dexterity is imperative thus usage for the older user, keep away from this mobile phone

Really good for my mother she loves it

Ordered one of these as it looked like a good bet for a new 4G device to replace a 3G-only Doro. First one arrived swiftly, loaded it up, added some charge and switched on. Splash screen and jingle appeared, then nothing more. Keyboard remained unresponsive - couldn't even switch it off. Returned to Amazon with request for replacement, which arrived quickly. Loaded it up, added some charge and switched on. Exactly the same fault. Contacted Panasonic support via website Live Chat, which was helpful, but agent quite quickly agreed that if further charging didn't help, the unit was beyond economical repair. Fault recurred every time, although occasionally managed to get into the menu system before keyboard locked up. Returned to Amazon with request for refund which was quickly issued. NB you can't (or couldn't a few days ago) download the user manual from Panasonic, even though it appears in the list on the support web page. The chat agent helpfully gave me the link to it; it's the classic cheap-phone type of manual, full of "you can" without telling you how to. Sadly I think this model was released too early without proper QC. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, one faulty unit may fairly be regarded as unfortunate; two units with identical faults looks like carelessness.

I really wanted to like this phone but the solid build and good looks are let down by poor functionality and useless instructions. The 'instructions' that come with it are printed so small they are almost impossible to read, and when you manage to read them they don't cover some pretty basic info that users will need. There don't seem to be any fuller instructions available on line. White text on a pale blue background in menus? What genius thought that was a good combo in a phone aimed at elderly people? It takes both hands to operate, again not great for the elderly or infirm. No predictive text, wtf? No easy way to copy across the contacts from my old phone, I've tried transferring by usb, by blutooth, via my PC, and with an SD card. It just doesn't find them. Bizarre way of displaying text conversations, not sequential sent and received. It doesn't compare well even against a basic Nokia from 5 years ago despite being expensive for a dumbphone, even with the Black Friday discount it is twice the price of a better phone. I'm very disappointed. I've always rated Panasonic gear highly and this was potentially a good phone, but they seem to have made a physically good phone let down by ignoring user needs and expectations on the functionality.

Looks pretty good for a simple dumb Phone. Bought as a surprise for the wife. The wife said she was happy with the crappy one she has. So sorry I had to return it. Would go for Panasonic again though.

Zeer goede gsm zonder toeters en bellen gekocht voor mijn echtgenote(83 jaar) is een aanrader.

Après avoir commandé 2 téléphones seniors et de les avoir retourné, j'ai pris une "marque" : Panasonic. C'est le jour et la nuit, la sim entre et elle tient bien. La configuration est simple. Un peu plus cher certes. Ce téléphone est fourni avec une station de chargement mais il n'y a pas le chargeur.

telefonen var bra på alla sätt, men det blev retur för det saknades svensk meny . det borde stå i annonsen.

Ho provato le maggiori marche di telefoni per anziani in vendita in Italia, questo li batte tutti. Primo, batteria che dura diversi giorni senza doverla caricare ogni sera . Secondo ha la funzione blacklist già implementata, non sempre presente nei modelli delle altre marche, su dieci telefonate ricevute nove sono call center (gennaio 2026), . Diversi vengono venduti con firmware vecchi da aggiornare ed è quasi impossibile farlo per il pessimo funzionamento del software che li gestisce.
