Senior or User Friendly Smartphone Worth P5000

[_Cathy_]

My Mom is using a Nokia phone for texting and calling. I forgot the model but it's like the 5110 For viber and camera she uses a Samsung tablet. It looks like both her Nokia and Samsung which we bought in 2012 won't last any longer.

So I'm thinking of buying my Mom a smartphone. It has to be big enough for ease of use. It will only be used for texting, calling, viber and taking pictures (no need for fancy camera since her Samsung is very basic). Yesterday my Uncle in his 80s was complaining about how he finds it hard to use a smartphone because of the swiping and opening of apps hahaha. So he uses a qwerty NOKIA.

I want to get my Mom a basic phone that will last at least 5 years.

All my tech purchases were based on Tsikot recommendations and I'm hoping for another good purchase

TIA

Has FB and messenger

She's a happy camper

Passed our old S5 to my mom last year...
Just made sure it had a simple launcher/keyboard and only the apps she needed were installed...

I wouldn't recommend a specific phone... But just buy her something running Nougat.

+1 on giving your mom your old phone.

Note 2 will be great lalo they can zoom the text to a very large size.

Texting will also be better with a biggish keyboard, haptic feedback and the conversation style texting that the old phones don't have.

J5 or J7 kung ganun. The slower/budget samsung phones can be frustrating to use.

Never used the chinese phones so I can't recommend them.
