Our verdict

Choose the Sunbeam F1 for a modern flip that deliberately blocks the web and social media, keeping the phone simple and scam-free while staying unlocked for major carriers. Choose the Doro 7050 for the trusted Doro senior design — a bigger keypad, loud hearing-aid-compatible audio, and a back assistance button — on low-cost Tracfone prepaid plans, if internet access on the phone isn't a concern.
