The Samsung Jitterbug Plus is designed for and marketed to seniors. It’s stand-out features include a 2.2-inch color display with large on-screen characters and a alphanumeric keyboard with large buttons.
As a simple clamshell phone, the Jitterbug Plus has no need for speedy multi-core processors or gigabytes of internal RAM. As soon as you take it out of the box and power it on, it’ll be ready for use. The fact that it has a very limited feature set means that users will have no trouble getting used to how it works. And it’s one of the longer lasting handsets in its price range thanks to a battery that gives it up to 6 hours of talk time per charge.
Although the Jitterbug Plus is one of the more expensive phones in its class, it is ideally suited to the market it serves.
