I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied version of android.

My grandpa wanted something like this - calling, simple web browsing... I handed him my old Pixel 2 XL and he is happy with it.

I just set up F-droid and aurora store, he didnt have G account so it was the easy and fast way to set it up.

How did you get tasked with buying your grandparents a smart phone? Whose idea was it? Was is the reason for getting your grandparents a smartphone?

Any iPhone (I’ve had one since the OG). This way I can remote troubleshoot because I’m so familiar with iOS.
