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.

Well... Anything a generation old for price and not flag ship. Samsung A-something or Google something-a. You can change the screen dpi to make thing more readable.

You can install a custom launcher to have full control over the home screen and just show the important apps like call, text and email. I use pre sale Nova.

Most custom launchers let you lock the home screen too, something I learnt was important for my mother who would CONSTANTLY drag stuff around, get lost and then claim she didn't go anything.

Thanks for sugesting about draging stuff on the screen lock

Nothing is quite as relatable to me as this. Do they genuinely not realize? Are they too proud to admit they did something? I will never know
