Which Is The Best Android Phone For 62 Year Old Mom? by investment247: 10:06am On May 04, 2016
My friend sent me this question owing to the fact that he knows I talk about phones alot. However I couldn`t give any response yet cos I never thought about this kinda question before. So guys please help me out.

See his message below.


" Bro, wats up. I`m Going to see mom this weekend and she says she wants me to help her pick out a smart phone. She's definitely NOT tech-savvy and has refused having a home PC or even a tablet for several years (since my dad passed - he had a PC at least). Now she's considering a smart phone.

Anyway, I wondered if there was a good phone for her that would not be too confusing - OR - maybe apps (and a launcher?) that would help simplify things for her.

Not thinking about an iPhone since I've never owned one and honestly wouldn't be able to "support" it when she called me with questions.


Thanks for any thoughts.
"


personally I would have suggested a Tecno phone either a phantom or Boom J8 or maybe Samsung.

The guy is loaded pocket-wise so cost of phone isn`t his probs. the issue is the kind of phone you would suggest for an old woman.

So guys can you suggest the type of Smartphone an elderly woman can easily understand? With reasons please

Have u guys ever seen an elderly woman operating a smartphone before?

They keep touching the screen without knowing they are and yet keep complaining that the phone is misbehaving

My Advice is that you give her a smart phone that is easy to Use. iPhone and the other high end phones are complicated and may be difficult for her to operate.

Your friend should go to the market and get any phone he feels would be easy for her to Use. Sometimes the Simplier the Better!

Depends on your pocket. Tecno c8 is good. Infinix devices are also good as well as Gionee
