Doro launches a pocket-size version of its Liberto 820 smartphone

Doro Liberto 820 Mini revealed at Mobile World Congress 2015

Easy-to-use mobile phone pioneer Doro has revealed its latest smartphone at Mobile World Congress 2015. The new device is called the Doro Liberto 820 Mini and uses Doro’s own user interface on top of Android v4.4.2, although customers also have access to the Google Play Store.

Promising ‘an accessible price point’, the Liberto 820 Mini is a compact (4-inch screen) version of the Doro Liberto 820 launched last year. It’s supplied with a charging dock that automatically turns the phone into a clock and enables it to receive calls on its hands-free loudspeaker.

As with the Liberto 820, the 820 Mini is equipped with built-in coaching and the cloud-based ‘My Doro Manager’ device management tool, allowing family members to offer remote assistance.

Chris Millington, Managing Director at Doro UK & Ireland, said “The device enables quick and fuss-free communication through digital channels - along with a door into the world of social networking, mobile applications and digital medias such as video and photos. The phone has an inbuilt coach offering full support and guidance at every touch point of the user’s journey of digital discovery.”

The Doro Liberto 820 Mini is launching via the Tesco Mobile virtual mobile network.

Last month we spoke to Doro UK MD Chris Millington about the Doro Liberto 820 and the state of the mobile industry in 2015.

Predictions for 2016: Network Function Virtualisation, 4G throttling and video calling

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year’s reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.

He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it’s MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the ‘dark art’ of hacking.

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

Kapture review: the audio-recording wristband

A 'recording watch' that links to your smartphone

Mark Bridge writes:

The most memorable moments in life often go unrecorded. You don't have your camera in your hands. Your finger is still hovering over the 'pause' button on your audio recorder. Or you were simply too busy experiencing whatever was happening. It's all about the one that got away.

That's where Kapture can help.

Making mobile websites work better

Making mobile websites work better

Device detection and responsive design explained

Mark Bridge writes:

James Rosewell shows me a colourful roll of paper that's the width of an iPhone but well over three metres long. When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
