Smartphones aren’t designed for everyone - so we built one that is

Smartphones today are built for the always-online generation. They assume a level of digital fluency that not everyone has – or wants to have. From cluttered home screens to fiddly keyboards and complex app stores, most smartphones favour younger users who grew up with touchscreens and social media. But what if you didn’t?

What if you’re new to smartphones – or buying one for a parent who simply wants to stay connected, not spend hours learning tech? That’s why we created Chatsie: a cleaner, simpler smartphone for people who want all the benefits of modern technology, without the hassle.

A typical smartphone vs. Chatsie

Let’s break it down:

Chatsie makes staying in touch with loved ones, using apps like WhatsApp, checking the weather, and even getting directions beautifully simple.

The story behind Chatsie  

Chatsie wasn’t born in a boardroom. It came from a real, personal need.

Our founder, George, was trying to buy a smartphone for his mother. He found himself stuck between three bad options:

  • iPhone or Samsung Galaxy: modern, but overly complex and expensive.
  • Basic feature phones (like old Nokias): simpler, but not suitable for modern life - no apps, no maps, no WhatsApp.
  • Senior phones: often clunky, outdated, or worse - designed in a patronising way.

None of these felt right. So George set out to build something better: a phone that was elegant, modern, and unbelievably easy to use.

That’s how Chatsie was born.

Is Chatsie right for you or a loved one?

If you’ve ever looked at a smartphone and thought, “This isn’t made for me,” you’re not alone.

Chatsie is ideal for:

  • Older adults who want to stay in touch without learning a whole new language.
  • Children of ageing parents, looking for a practical gift that gives peace of mind.
    Anyone overwhelmed by tech and looking for a fresh start with something simpler.

It’s time for a phone that works for you – not the other way around.
