Reviews around screen (4.58 of 5)

  • The Jitterbug Smart has a very nice 5.5" screen with the time, date, phone number and 5star button displayed in large typeface which makes it very easy to see and read
  • The screen is super sensitive in the way that when he holds the phone in one hand, and his finger slightly wraps around, it will register that he is touching an icon
  • Perfect for someone needing reading glasses and for someone who wants the feel for a smart touch screen, but not all the bells and whistles like an iPhone or Samsung
  • I like the bigger screen and it is everything that I need it to be for my needs, which is to keep in touch with my children and grandchildren through texting
  • I Purchased this phone for my husband who really prefers to have a simple flip phone but likes to take pictures and flip phones have poor cameras and small screens.
