Emporia presented their series of mobile phones, targetting on older generation of mobile phone users who do not need any fancy features.

The Austrian's Emporia is not at the same interest as other phone manufacturer.Their main product line, is specially targetting on Simple Phone for old folks. High tech / unnecessary features are removed for good.

Generally the Emporia's phones has large keypad and LCD screen with big fonts. The large keypad is easy to be read with the large label on it. The contact list is shown directly on the first screen, making it easier to make calls without navigate into the menus. SMS is still possible on these Emporia's phones.

Same as the simple phones from Japan and Kyocera, emergency button is available to make direct calls when needed.
