Description
One hundred percent accessible Android smartphone for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Many individuals who are blind or visually impaired have difficulty using a smartphone because they find it challenging to use the built-in screen reader which requires the user to learn gestures that must be executed on the touchscreen. The SmartVision 3 solves this challenge by allowing the user to control the smartphone through a tactile keypad, with large buttons. The user can also activate the Google Assistant by pressing a physical button on the edge of the phone, rather than by finding the virtual button or by saying the magic words, “OK Google”. The dedicated button can also be used to dictate text in the input area. If the user is comfortable with certain gestures, they can continue to use those gestures on the touchscreen while also using the keypad. In other words, users can use multiple input methods to control their phone and can easily move between those input methods!
Because the phone is Google certified, the user can download any app they want through Google Play.
The smartphone includes a number of built-in apps that perform various functions, such as a color detector and finder, light detector, banknote recognizer, and more.
The SmartVision 3 Premium includes a number of accessories and features not included in the SmartVision 3 Basic. These include a wireless charging pad, protective case, screen protector, lanyard, and a cleaning cloth.
Unlocked 4G VoLTE phone for T-Mobile, and providers operating on the T-Mobile network, such as Affinity Cellular (T-Mobile network), MINT Mobile, Ultra Mobile, Simple Mobile, and Metro by T-Mobile.

The phone gives me a greater sense on independence. The phone reads my mail, kitchens items. Tells me what money bills I have on hand.
Robert Kim –
I’m having a good experience with this phone. The voice command functionality is very responsive and the tactile buttons are easy to use. Definitely worth the investment.
Paul –
Well designed, and well prepared, totally blind accessible right out of the box! Definitely a great product to consider for blind and low vision! Please know: product does not have 5G, but has 4G, Anne comes with android version 11, which is a couple of versions back. Stays on version 11, even after checking for updates. It’s very important to stay competitive, both with technology capabilities, and price in order for this product to succeed. I know that’s not easy, but it’s a must in the business world.
