Pick an android for my elderly dad

[u/CakeandKookaid]

My dad currently has an LG 30 which he loves but he's looking to get a new one since it's old. Some things he's looking for

• Somewhat similar interface to LG 30
• Low budget (he's retired with low income, I'm not sure what a normal budget would be but the cheaper the better)
• Easy to use (he's not the best with technology)
• Good battery life if possible. However a cheaper phone is priority over this
• Good connection
• Available in Canada

I like the TCL Nxtpaper phones for seniors who aren't great with technology. They have a switch that can turn the device into a simplified E-reader like interface. It is pretty low spec with only 4 gigs of ram for $300, so they need to see value in the E-paper like screen option. If that doesn't work Motorola is one of the better budget phone makers, and Nothing has some great phones for $400 but they don't work with every carrier in Canada.

personally I'm finding many things unusable with 4GB RAM devices these days

Depends if he's using it to browse the internet or read on it. To give me a better idea

He's mainly using YouTube and Autotrader. The AutoTrader app not working properly is actually the main reason he wants to switch 😅
