Keeping this in mind, Fujitsu has designed a new Android based smartphone, the first in the world especially for senior citizens. The phone is known by the name 'Stylistic S01' and bearing the name of the carrier 'Orange.' It sports a decent 4 inch panel with 800/480 pixels of resolution and a unique built-in feedback technology. 'Stylistic S01' is protected against water and dust making it easy to carry around.

Specifications of 'Stylistic S01'

• 1.4Ghz Qualcomm processor
• 4GB internal memory
• 1,800mAh battery
• A rear facing camera with 8.1mega pixel
• microSD support
• Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System

Unique Features

The phone is built-in with plenty of features with an aim to make the gadget user-friendly for the large number of senior population. Some of the notable features are:

• The homepage icons have been simplified to a great extent and it has been blown big making the icons easy to view in naked eyes.
• The touchscreen display is less sensitive when compared to the smartphones in the market. The idea behind the 'screen technology' is the need to push the icons harder similar to pressing on a keypad. This extra push reduces the opening of apps due to accidental touches by an elderly customer.
• Comes with 'Audio technology' for personal use. This feature slows down a fast talker and adjusts the voice frequency based on the customers age. These changes do not delay a or affect the pitch of the voice.
• Comes with a 'Security alarm' that emits sounds to alert people in case of any emergency. This is a must-have feature for elders.
• It comes built-in with the traditional local apps including Orange et Moi and Orange Cineday.
• Orange et Moi is used to monitor your accounts and Orange Cineday offers you a cost-free movie ticket once a week on Tuesday's.

'Stylistic S01' is a perfect smartphone set, which gives quicker access to information when compared with other smartphones. The senior interests usually revolve around areas like recent news happenings, weather details, GPS directions and others, which can be easily accessed in 'Stylistic S01.'

Yves Maitre, the Senior Vice President of Device and Multimedia, France Telecom-Orange stated that, "The senior customers within our customer base are just as hungry for smartphone technology and mobile internet services as anyone else. We are thrilled to be working together with Fujitsu to leverage our combined strengths to provide products for an emerging smartphone market segment in Europe."

Conclusion

You might have come across these features in another phone. Yes, the same can be found in Fujitsu Raku-Raku series, which is also a phone designed for seniors. The cost of this smartphone is still not revealed. The 'Stylistic S01' will arrive for the first time in France by the month June 2013. Meanwhile, it will be showcased at the MWC show, which is to be held in Barcelona, Spain starting February 25. Is Fujitsu going to be a trendsetter for other manufacturers in the market? Will the Japanese technology make big beating the competition of giants like Apple and Samsung? As soon as the curtains go high, we will have answer to all those questions. Wishing all success to Fujitsu for its efforts to make the senior population of the world happy.
