   Excellent value, and very sturdy with large keys. Ideal for older people and those who only use mobile phones for calling.

   I bought this for my elderly grandmother. She had never really used mobiles before. We got her a few over the past few years that she tried to use but couldn’t get used to them and they got stuck in a drawer. This one though, she got used to within a few days. She loves it. As someone who still uses the landline with no caller display and no digital phone book, she still gets excited that she doesn’t have to get out her address book and look up numbers, because now they’re in her mobile. It’s a great quality device, and it also gives us peace of mind as a family because she is in her 90s now so having a mobile that she can keep on her to ring someone in an emergency rather than struggling to reach the landline is comforting to us , and we’ve setup the emergency button on it too, which sends a few of our family members an instant text saying the emergency button was pressed, and then it automatically round-robin calls us while putting her mobile on loudspeaker so we can speak directly to her in an emergency. Excellent value for money . I can’t speak so much for the features, it’s a pretty simple device, but the emergency button feature is great (although I would say that it’s a bit difficult to configure that button, for a device that’s targeted to the elderly). It’s a good size phone, with good sized buttons and text on the display, and the battery lasts a solid few days.

   Pour des seniors, ce produit est réellement adapté. Par contre la batterie du précédent n’a pas tenu un an. Peut-être un défaut isolé qui n’impacte pas tous les modèles…..

   In October 2023 I got one of these for my mother in law who is 90 with Parkinson’s and just needed a simple phone. It is important for her to have an easy to use phone so she can get help if needed. The phone lasted 7 months before the battery gave up so I had to buy her another identical one straight away . A call to customer service at Doro was a waste of time . They offered to repair the first phone . It didn’t need repairing it needed a battery but would be no use to me or mother in anyway as I’d already replaced the whole phone . Rubbish but expect nothing more for under 30 .

   Larger than normal button’s and very simple to use and suitable for an elderly or tech averse user.

   The Doro Leva L10 could be better. It’s a phone that seems to have forgotten Seniors. We used to have the Doro 1370 that was 2G which wasn’t a bad phone and had to buy a new phone for the 3G switch off so went for this phone.
   A good phone with excellent 4G sound quality, but for my elderly mother texting on this phone is difficult compared to the Doro 1370 which was much easier for her. When texting you have to enter the number first on the same screen in a tiny box at the top and then enter the text afterwards in a box at the bottom of the same screen. Why Doro have made it this way I don’t know because it is actually quite difficult, especially for Seniors texting. Having been used to entering the text first then the number on a separate screen afterwards, which was easier, she is finding it difficult texting this way. Also, this way, one accidental press on the OK button whilst texting and the message is gone before you are ready! Doro haven’t taken into account Seniors with this phone at all! If you jump to the message writing box first, you can’t get back up to the ‘Number’ box at the top without constantly pressing the Up arrow to get back up there. Not good for Seniors which this phone is supposed to be for.
   Also words have been replaced by symbols. Seniors will find it a difficult learning curve.
   When you bring up the symbols table when texting you can’t quickly jump down the rows! You have to keep pressing the down arrow and it wears out the down arrow button by the time you get the bottom of the table!
   Also, and this is the BIGGY! and Doro loses a star for this – there is no move or copy options in the File Manager that allows me to move photos into a folder to the memory card. They’ve been forgotten! When I take a photo I can’t move or copy it anywhere, despite there being a memory card slot for SD cards available. The move and copy options in Options are missing! This makes adding folders pointless! I can’t do much with them at the moment! The phone receives updates – (it is early days so I’ve yet to receive one) – but I’m hoping Doro will restore these missing options to the phone!

   The Doro Leva L10 is a fraction larger compared to the Doro 1370, and this has also caused us problems for us. Having had the Doro 1370, it meant we had to buy new phone cases which are much bigger XXL size. They are over big for this type of phone. That was a shame because our Doro cases for the Doro 1370 were XL and slightly smaller and had Doro not made the phone larger could have fitted them.

   Why Doro have made the Leva L10 larger than the Doro 1370 which was a perfect size I don’t know.

   You may have some difficulty getting used to this phone. It’s full of niggles, that Seniors or anybody of any age, shouldn’t really have to struggle with.

   The excellent 4G sound quality is very good and that is the phones saviour. But everything else could be better. Doro could rectify all this with an update. If they don’t then that’s a shame.

   A good phone, but be prepared for a few ‘oh I wish it wouldn’t do that’ moments.

    Bought this for myself, moved from a smartphone to this as was simply sick and tired of distractions from the modern-day world and having stupidly sized slabs to carry around.

    So, I had a word with myself and began to search out a handset with nice big physical buttons, basic functionality and a compact formfactor. This seemed to fit in with my needs Doro being aimed at the older generation didn’t bother me I am 41.

    Build quality is nice and firm no bends or creaks, buttons are big, numbered and are in big font making it easy to see and they have a very nice tactile press.

    Network/signal seems to pick up better than my old iPhone in rural locations being 4G as well it future proofs this phone somewhat.

    Charging now you have to bear in mind this is not fast charging, but the battery lasts for days so the charging side of it really does not bother me at all, one thing I did notice if I charge with cradle the battery does not last as long as if I charge with just wall charger which seems rather strange, but I have tested this multiple times using cradle charging whether it is not charging the phone right up full I do not know certainly a difference in battery life and drain. Also nice to see Type-C charging moving over to these phones.

    Battery life, can get 4 days maybe a week out of it no problem.

    Functionality, it’s very basic as one would expect part of the reason I bought one, it’s very easy to navigate.

    Sound quality, for me it’s fine for elderly with slight hearing impairments would struggle I think.

    For me the Doro Leva L10 has proved a sound investment and is user-friendly for all ages.
