Budget Android Phone 5-10k

[Jonas]

Need an android phone for an elderly.

Usage:

1. Jio number.
2. WhatsApp.
3. YouTube.

Any input is highly appreciated.

Realme Narzo 30A seems to have good reviews in this price segment.

Redmi Note 10/ Realme Narzo 30

I think a FHD+ display is a must in today's world, so won't recommend the Narzo 30A.
If you want a clean UI, then Micromax IN Note 1 is the only option but if you're fine with MIUI then either the Poco M3 or the Redmi 9 Power based on your preference.
Each of these would cost you around 10k with CC offers.

MIUI has weird and obscene ads if you know what I mean. I think Poco might be better. Or else buy and disable them before usage.

Normaly I don't recommend Nokia but since the person is an elder, if you can stretch your budget, get a Nokia G20.
Ads and other nagware can get quite intimidating. Besides they ain't tech savvy to debloat their phones and stuff.
Only caveat is screen is HD+ and it costs around 12k.
If there is someone tech-savvy in the house who can guide the person then go with any of the above mentioned brands.

For Cleaner UI. Moto G30 can be a good choice. Stock android experience. No ads. Flipkart sale starts from 25th July, you will get some bank discount.

Is G30 a new launch after G60? Pretty hard to keep up with names these days.. 🙄

Poco M3

Don't think it's a new launch. Heard about it few months ago. Moto has so many G series names, it's confusing.

Redmi 9 Power would've ads?

 

[Jonas]

I've ordered it. Could you share some links on how to go about it? @Tejas01

The elderly is used to MIUI, and this phone will get delivered tomorrow itself. The rest are either not in stock or would be delivered after a week.

While he explains how to remove, he won't tell what to remove. If you need help with that, let me know.

Narzo 30A is giving 120 hertz screen at 9k.

😐

HRR are supposed to be taxing on the battery.
Also it's 3/32. It will become dead slow in few months time.
For any custom skin roms, 6/64 is recommended.
