The current situation is accentuated in the case of the elderly and a terminal such as APOLO wants to serve as a tool to break possible isolation. With access to the most used video calling and messaging applications, it also offers an interface prepared for the elderly.
The SPC APOLO is a device with features tailored for ease of use. To do this, it uses Android 10 GO, a version that SPC adds with the “Senior Mode”, some icons and large fonts together with a clear sound, dedicated keys to pick up and hang up or direct access to turn the flashlight on and off. To facilitate use, it includes a highlighted SOS button, which after pressing it will call and send an SMS consecutively to the 5 memorized contacts until a response is obtained.
With regard to hardware, we are faced with a simple terminal that houses a 1.3 GHz Quad Core processor, supported by 1GB of RAM and with a capacity of 16GB expandable into 64GB via microSD card.
Based on the Android 10 Go operating system, build a 5 inch capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels and aspect ratio of 18: 9. The multimedia section consists of a 2 Mpx front camera and a 5 Mpx rear camera with flash, as well as video recording.
This mobile has a 3G connection, Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi and is powered by a 2,200 mAh lithium-ion battery. In addition, it includes a convenient charging base so that finding the slot for the connection plug is no problem.
