Doro Liberto 810

“It’s very hard to recommend the Liberto 810, particularly with its £150 price. The extremely capable Moto G, for example, can be bought for less than £100 and the difference in quality and specs between it and the Doro cannot be overstated. Couple the Moto G with a simple Android launcher like Wiser and you have a very capable and easy to use phone. Companies like Huawei and Acer also have simple versions of the UI baked into new phones.Indeed, it's really hard to understand what Doro is trying to achieve here. It specialises in making simple phones and does that well, but its lack of Android experience is clear to see and having Android adds little when it works so poorly on this phone. If you need to buy a simple, easy to use phone, the Doro PhoneEasy 621 is a much better options and costs just £60.If you need a simple phone, buy a Moto G and add a 'simple' launcher or just buy a basic feature phone.”

“The Liberto 810 offers a supremely accessible entry point for new users. The interface is simplistic but arguably this is one of the most successful implementations of Android yet. Too often with an Android phone, just when you’re getting comfortable, you accidentally blunder into a dark, unfurnished corner and have to fill in the gaps to find your way out. The Liberto 810 avoids this, and no matter where you go the friendly Doro interface is present.One thing that always impresses me is attention to detail, and you can tell Doro has really thought about a phone’s design and target market. The Doro Liberto 810 is full of these little touches, from the chunky USB cable to the fact that the only available font sizes are ‘Medium’ and ‘Large’! This phone has been designed with a very clear purpose in mind: to deliver the Android experience in the most accessible way possible.I found it impossible to dislike the Liberto 810, simply because it’s so good at doing what it’s supposed to do! There aren’t that many bells and whistles and it’s never going to be a fashion accessory, but it’s the simplest Android phone you’ll find and that makes it a great choice for new users.”
