Our verdict

Choose the Jitterbug Smart4 if the senior wants a simple touchscreen with texting, a camera, and a 24/7 Urgent Response button. Choose the Doro 7050 if they prefer a classic flip phone with big physical buttons and low-cost Tracfone prepaid plans, and only need calls and texts. The Smart4 does more; the Doro is simpler and cheaper to run.
