This is a long -selling dilemma, but "easy smartphone" is easy to use for those who are used to it, but does not match those who want a large screen or those who seek more simple operability.So, in order to meet the needs of seniors that are not found in such "easy smartphones", the "Anshin Smartphone" has been introduced.
Large screen and simple operation meet the needs other than "easy"

DOCOMO's senior smartphone is enhanced to choose which one you choose
Two models that are likely to be a very good rival, which meets the various needs of senior users, is that the support function is fulfilling that both are common."Easy Smartphone" offers a dedicated call center "Rakuku Hon Center" that is connected by one button, as well as explanations on how to use videos, and provides a "easy concierge" service that provides a fee for visiting for a fee.In addition, a new "diagnostic support" function has been added to resolve the problem by resetting the settings this time.
