Doro, the vendor which specialises in handsets for older users and has a focus on the mobile health market, has started to preinstall Google Play, Search, Google Maps, YouTube and Gmail on its handsets.

The vendor picked out the Play store and Maps, along with the basic search function, as being of particular interest to its demographic.

The first of Doro’s Android handsets to have Google apps pre-installed is the Doro Liberto 810, which is currently being rolled out.

The move follows Doro’s award of Google Mobile Services partner certification.
