Just5 Space
In October 2010,[citation needed] two mobile phone models were released - the Just5 CP09 and the Just5 CP10 - which were the initial iterations of their simplified mobile phones aimed at seniors. The two models had differences in the specifications, but both followed the same idea of ease of use.
In December 2010,[citation needed] the Just5 CP11 was released and housed a 2.4" pop-up screen where when the screen was closed, only a third of it could be seen. It was designed with white and black metallic cases offering both glossy and "soft touch" finishes and also provides a charging dock.
In March 2013, the Just5 CP10S was released by Just5.[5] The device is an iteration of the previously released CP10 having similar functionality to it and adding such variations as multiple color schemes instead of the black and white models which were the only choices available previously for the CP10. One of the color schemes was called BestInSpace and released as a limited edition as Just5 had cooperated with the sound designers from BestInSpace for the project.
Just5 Brick
In July 2013, the Just5 Brick, a mobile phone model that follows the same mindset of having simple features, was released.[6] It is designed with the appearance of a brick - bulky, with squared corners, sturdy. The phone uses a simplified UI and houses a 1.77" LCD screen and large buttons. It is also available in multiple color palettes, including Just5 Brick Red.
Just5 Surf
The Just5 Surf has a streamlined design and backs away from the blocky buttons that could be seen in the previous models. It still displays a colorful case available with either black or lime as the base color. It follows the simplification mindset and as multiple compromises were made for the device, its price was kept small making it accessible to anyone.
Just5 Spacer
The Just5 Spacer was released in November 2013 and is the latest mobile phone by Just5.[7] It features a 5" touchscreen, an 8MP camera on the back and a 2Mp one on the front and a variety of other features and is their attempt at establishing itself in the smartphonemarket with a competitively priced device. It has been critiqued for having a weak GPSradio and an unstable Wi-FiMAC address that changes each time WiFi is enabled or the device boots.[by whom?]
In October 2014, the Just5 Spacer 2 was released for the general public as the successor of the initial Just5 Spacer.[8] It brings an improved screen and GPS fixes to the table while still keeping the price fairly low, compared to the competing products, but has shown touch registering and battery life issues during testing.[9]
In December 2014 the next version of Spacer was released called Spacer 2s.
More Recent Models
From February 2015 through October 2017,[10] Just5 released ten models of its new Blaster, Freedom, and Cosmo phones.
