What is the best smartphone for a visually impaired person?

[HelenkaHFK]

Right now I'm looking at the *pictures* (meaning they tell me NOTHING) of Samsung Galaxy, Nokia Lumia and iPhone models, mostly because of the relatively huge screen sizes. I was originally attracted to the Samsung Glide because of the pullout qwerty keyboard. However, I have no idea how easy it is to actually SEE things on the screens of any of these phones (or others with equivalent features). Like font size and contrast, etc. Does anyone have any personal experience or, alternately, can suggest any site(s) providing a comparison of visual accessibility features?

Try something really big like Galaxy Note.

I think this one is the best for you!




Currently, the number of cell phones designed specifically for
those who are blind is very limited. Owaysys has the 22c which
is a screen less cell phone that works on GSM networks like AT&T
and T-Mobile. It has a speaking interface and easy keyboard
with widely spaced buttons.

Work is underway on cell phones that will be more accessible
for the blind and visually impaired.
For instance, one development will allow the phone to detect
and read signs, perhaps in a number of languages.
Another development should make dialing a phone,
even a touch screen phone much easier. The proposed technology
can read the placement of the persons hand and allow them to
dial from any point without having to target a particular spot
on the keypad to activate a number.

If you Google Assistech and visit their website then you would come across many types of phones and mobiles that can assist people with low vision and low hearing. One example for mobile to assist low hearing and low vision people is Just5 Big Button Amplified Cell Phone that features big buttons, an emergency SOS button, a talking keypad, 100dB amplification, and telecoil compatibility.
