I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied version of android.
The “S0S” makes me more uncomfortable than it should…
Edit: My discomfort does not stem from the mere concept of an SOS button; It’s more subtle than that. If “SOS” stands for “save our souls”, does “S0S” stand for “save zero souls”?

There is no meaning to SOS. People made it up later.
Ah, so is it a backronym, then? Neat, I didn’t know that.
How did they decide on those letters? Is it relevant that “CQ” sounds a bit like “seek you”?
I TOLD YOU TO NOT PANIC!
Yo, it’s Save Our Ship, not souls. Elderly people are more likely to need to call emergency services, so having a dedicated button for it seems like a good idea.
