Seeking Mobile Phone Recommendation

Cptralls

Does anyone have any recommendations for a mobile phone for an elderly person who is upgrading from an old style Nokia? This is a Christmas present and I'm seeking something that they can use to easily and send and receive photos and videos etc.

How much do you want to spend on it?

I was in a similar position recently. I choose one from the Motorola range. £99 - £200 depending on model & budget.
Moto use basic android with little bloat
Here is one with a big screen & long lasting battery

This looks good, is this the best price available?

I bought my 84 yo father a Doro 8040. Doro have specialised in phones for older or visually impaired for some time before getting into the SmartPhone market. My father gets on well with his new phone.

Looks like the "lightning deal" for the white has ended?

Or search for Galaxy A21S on Amazon!

Black version of Galaxy A21S still available on Amazon for £140 -

While version available at Argos (if you can find local stock) for £140 -

Edited to add: No scrub that Argos link, if you follow it the phone shows as £180, but changes to "our lowest price" £140 when you click to select the white colour, but when added to basket it shows as £180.

Looks good but is there a way to buy the phone with additional memory, perhaps 64gb rather than 32gb?
