G'day.
In the market for a budget (<$450) Android phone that keeps on working for an elderly person. Thought of asking the fellow OzB users what their tried and tested go to models. Requirements in summary
- Vanilla android experience and access all play-store and google services
- Basic hardware that just keeps on working is more than enough + a finger print unlock (person wears masks most of the time, so face unlock will be a hassle)
- Doesn't cost more than the phone's value to do when something like screen or battery needs replacing. (this person has used past phones with utmost care, this is just in case something happens)
- Using mostly the messaging apps, web browser and YouTube / Playstore video, music and VLC apps.
How about these models? (I have no idea how they perform over time)
Nokia G21
Moto G50
Moto G51
Nokia G50
Nokia X20
I'd have gone with iPhone SE, but the budget is limited to $450 max for everything (for phone + screen guard + case + charger if it's not included in the box)
Thanks,
Can't you just use the search function? Go to the mobile section and see what deals there are.
Also plenty of reviews (including long term reviews) on Google.
Edit: if you also want user reviews, plenty on reddit
