I liked the Lava Agni 3. But looking for good recommendations.

How old they are?
If not well versed with latest technology, better give them SAMSUNG with knox security and yes be careful about handset weight, most probably light weight, 180 gram or below preferable.
Lava Agni 3 as per YouTube review is very good but 215 gram weight, I doubt aged parents can handle that much weight even with 2 hands as maximum old age person have shaky hand, low grip health issue.

cmf phone 1 , phone 2a or Realme 12x or similar as per weight.

Lightest phone available in India should be Mi 11 Lite: 157g, it is 3 year old now though.

In my experience, getting a higher tier phone pre-owned (if they don't have a stigma against it) works well for parents. You're likely to get better durability in case they mishandle it, more longevity thanks to better hardware, and decent service support. The service in particular can save you headaches if they rely on you to get it fixed when there are issues.

The Samsung A34/54 usually come within your price range pre-owned, as do some of the Moto models from the last couple of years.

These are some nice suggestions @Emperor and @ishashank. I will now consider weight also as a factor.
@SirMatterNot Our past experience with pre-owned products was not that good, so I will prefer getting a new one.

Consider the Motorola Edge 50 fusion if you have axis or Baroda cc and can extend your budget by 1k. It's also light at 175g but at 6.7 inches it's a big phone.

Don't just see the specs but also see their reviews like moto has screen issues and poco has motherboard issues.
Month back I bought cmf nothing 1 for my father, it is perfect zero bloatware simple straight forward.

Avoid used phones as your budget is decent.

CMF phone 1 or NP 2a would be my top choices.

What brand do they use now? If they are used to Chinese phones we can look at redmi etc also. Personally i use debloated poco phones and find them just fine

Previous phone is Samsung F64. Personally I never liked that phone, suggested them to stay away from Samsung

I would suggest going for realme Narzo turbo 70. I just bought it for my mother after exchanging her samsung with it. I think this is a good phone in this budget. Go for 8gb variant, the camera quality is good and the ui is smooth.

Moto edge 50 fusion is good, the name Motorola also rings familiarity with the elderly

Samsung phones with TSMC fab made chips are good, but sadly you get even Snapdragon chips made by Samsung, so those kind of behave like Exynos.

My recommend is
12k: moto g45
17k: poco x6
22k: moto edge 50 fusion
They'll be lower with card discounts etc

Would it be little bit more future proof if I go for Pro?

I bought the redmi 12 5G for my gramps about 6 months ago. It costed me around 12k ish for the 6 gb ram and 128 gigs storage variant I think? It's a decent phone, however, its hard to use it when out in the sun cuz it's brightness isn't that great tbh...
