Hi my father got an g2 and finds it a bit big and will not use half the features on it so I will take it off him and am now looking for a replacement, he has his favourite contacts displayed on the home screens with their pictures so he can just tap and dial the number and do a bit of browsing now and again

So I was thinking moto e for him, any advice not limited to android if windows would do the same and be easy to operate

Thanks

    What budget are you thinking of ? I've recently moved from having android phones to a nokia lumia, they seem great phones and easy to use.

    It depends on the budget.

    Moto X and Xperia Z1 Compact are the two smaller phones that would sit among the elite/flagship android.

    Off course Motorola's Moto E and Moto G are probably the best bets if you want vfm.

    Hi probably looking at the moto e or Lumia 520 as long as he can click a contacts picture on the home screen and direct dial I think he would be happy (80 year old) and just upgraded to a recent EE deal with the G2 included as he needed a new phone and an EE contract, but the G2 is overkill for what he needs

    Maybe Doro Liberto 810. It seems easy to use to older users.:j

    Moto G is quite good, nice compact size and pretty decent for the price.
