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

I'm still using my Note 2 e. I don't replace my phone unless there is an issue na hehe

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.

My opinion - old people have an easier time using iPhones than Androids. So I'd recommend to get an iPhone that fits your budget. Used iPhone 6S units sell for around 12k these days, all the way to a brand new 60k iPhone X.

I agree with this pero mukhang wala sa budget yung iphones and I'm not super sure I'd like to consider 2nd hand phones. I've taken very good care of my phones pero minsan nagloloko parin. My old S4 was giving up after a little over a year old. I think the most demanding thing I asked that phone to do was to play temple run. The phone had close to 0 dings, scratches and bumps so I'm quite sure it was a hardware issue. Pero I guess the phones now are a little more durable vs before, though you wouldn't know how the previous owner used it.

Also, my opinion also is... bigger screen = better for old people. Pero coming from basic phones, they tend not to appreciate the size at first.

Lazada will be having a sale on Samsung phones (not sure what the discounted price will be)

SAMSUNG GALAXY J8
₱15,670.00

Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime 32GB
₱9,790.00

The J8 is 6" while the J7 is 5.5"

Is the .5" difference really worth the P6k price difference? My Mom will only use the phone for calls, text, viber and nothing else.

Also, is it okay to buy a phone in Lazada?

Lazada? Never experienced lazada buying a phone. Make sure the phone comes with Samsung warranty.

Musta vision ni mom? She might appreciate a larger display if medyo malabo na mata.
