D/S Smartvision3 Initium Mobile Phone

Designed specifically for blind and partially sighted people, the SmartVision 3 mobile phone is the only Google-certified smartphone especially designed for people with sight loss. 

Packed with accessible features, Kapsys says this is the "only smartphone offering a triple interface with touch screen, physical keyboard, and advanced vocalisation system".

Running on Android 11, the SmartVision 3 gives you up to 192GB of memory, a dual SIM, wireless charging, and a redesigned keypad. Embedded with native Android TalkBack, so you access all your favourite applications with a simple click.

The SmartVision 3 can be unlocked using the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone – you can also use this security feature to secure your banking transactions, so you don't have to enter your bank details for every purchase.  

The large, black keys are well spaced and contrast clearly with the white phone case. White numbers and letters on the keys are bold and high contrast. Important keys have a tactile indent to make them easier to locate and the multi-directional pad and textured OK button make finding your way around the phone is as easy as pie!

You can also control SmartVision 3 entirely by voice. The dedicated voice command key allows you either to dictate text in the input area or browse the internet thanks to Google Assistant.

Wireless charging means you no longer need to use a cable. Just place the SmartVision 3 on its wireless charging pad to ensure hassle-free charging .
