SOS button to warn in case of problems
SOS Smartphone Easy Haier button works as an alarm.
Once it is enabled, the smartphone calls all phonebook and automatically sends SMS until someone picks up.
Where to get Easy Smartphone ?
We contacted Haier France to learn more about the Easy Smartphone, including outlets where the phone is sold.
“Our Easy smartphone is being referenced but should be found in our usual distributors such as Darty”, as Haier France explained to us.  “Expectating our first agreement with an operator or MVNO we decided to offer it in open market without subscription”.
Haier is considering partnerships with distributors and mobile operators.
Easy Haier Smartphone is successful in China
If in France we have to wait until early September to be able to purchase the Easy Smartphone Haier, in China, it is already sold since the beginning of 2014.
There, the Easy Smartphone is very successful among consumers. Hundreds of thousands units have been sold in 6 months. “We hope to be as successfull in France and Europe,” says Haier France.
