SOS button, rear camera and hearing aid compatibility

If in conventional smartphones the characteristics to be highlighted are the quality of the screens or the qualities of the cameras, in this type of Featured Phone the virtues are different. Because the Alcatel 3026 is aimed at a longer-lived audience, the terminal has a series of features adapted to them.

Specifically, the Alcatel phone stands out for having a help button located on the back thanks to which we can call the first contact on our list automatically with just a single press. In case of no response, the system will gradually call the rest of the contacts in the phonebook up to a total of five contacts, in addition to sending a text message with the current situation.

Another detail for which this terminal stands out is because it has compatibility with M4 / T4 headphones, the highest rating on the market. Thanks to this, we can listen through hearing aids without beeps and with external noise reduction. Remarkable is the implementation of a 2 megapixel rear camera with interpolation at 3.2 and LED flash.

Large keys and ergonomic charging base

One of the most important aspects in this type of mobile phones for the elderly is the size of the physical dialing keys. Fortunately, the Alcatel 3026 has keys large enough for its correct use by an elderly person.

Specifically, it has an alphanumeric keyboard with rectangular keys that also has a series of keys in addition to the distress key for making calls and navigating through the menus on the screen, which is 2.8 inches.

The charging system also has sufficient ergonomics to be used in a simple way, since the mobile incorporates a dock with which we can connect the terminal in question resting on a simple base. Regarding its battery, and as we have indicated in the table of its characteristics, it has 970 mAh that ensures an autonomy of 5 and a half hours in conversation using 2G and 4 and a half hours in 3G. Its duration in Standby is 280 hours in 2G and 200 hours in 3G, and the charging time of its battery is 2 hours.
