[Electronics-Talk] FW: Smartphone for visually impaired

Thu Dec 14 15:16:18 UTC 2017

Do you know the brand of the phone in question? Do you know what
version of Android is running on it and it the phone is capable of
being upgraded to newer versions of Android? Or is this like these
Braille tablets that are being released with very old Android versions
on them and which aren't able to be upgraded to the latest Android
versions?
