For my father in law, who is Chinese and is in Oz. All he uses it for is reading news and the occasional video on WeChat etc.

Does not need 5g, good camera or any ability to make payments etc…i.e a very simple large screen phone with a decent battery. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S He currently uses my old Samsung Note5

  Hi Spennyrich, i did do some research post your advice and have ordered the Poco x3 from China as a relative can pick it up and ship to us, a bit better than buying from a website i think. Thanks for your suggestions.
