Budget : 200 tops each.
Users : Old, 70s types, easily confused
Needs to be android so I can sort our their lives from afar and fix them quickly when they 'break' due to wrong buttons being pressed.
Tips please - can be older models as we are just after robust long lasting handsets.
Cheers.

Re: Phones for parents
Both my Mum and my FiL are mid 70's and I got them both on the Samsung A51. It would appear to be a very nice budget smartphone. Having set up both I was very impressed with it.
A little bit of budget creep but that's what you'd expect on here.

I'll have a gander!
Re: Phones for parents
I'm sure you could pick up some model of Pixel for that.
IME far simpler for the olds to get on with than Samsung etc (sample size: 1 - my step Dad who is totally illiterate got nowhere with a Sammy, but just seems to "get" stock Android)
Having said this, the brand new Pixel 4a is "only" £350 - I'm sure you'll get some "unwanted upgrades" soon for closer to £300
I know that's 50% over budget (because, EVO) but it's another option.

I have ordered a moto g8 to try out and if my really ancient nearly 80 father can work it I'll get another for my more able mother. Seem ok for their needs https://www.techradar.com/uk/reviews/moto-g8-review

Re: Phones for parents
It's actually alright, I'm impressed! Worth a look for any oldies.
