Recently got Samsung M35 5G 8+128GB for my MIL at 16.5k off Amzn plus some cashback on CC. No complaints so far in about a month and half. It replaced Samsung A71 whose screen had gone bad.

What I like about the phone 5g , 8gb ram, clean no ads ui, bootloader unlock with custom kernel and kernelsu with susf module which makes it undetectable to banking apps or any app serach for rooted phone , ddolby atmos module which make sound amazing
Rooting I explained which is not for your moms needs BUT the instant you can you kernelsu on any phone that phone innitself is great cause this type of rooting is not possible on majority of phones but undetectable
5000mah full day battery
My mum uses the other phone

Get a Samsung, as the UI is absolutely perfectly perfect for parents.
My grandparents switched from Button phones to Samsung (9000rs one), and were happy.

Later when my grandma wanted to try out some other brand, as influence by seeing others, I got her a Redmi phone
And within a month she started asking if there is any way to return it and have the money back.
She was pissed off at the UI, difficult to find stuff, and to operate.

Your budget is really good. Rs. 30000
YOu can easily get one of the top notch Galaxy A series phones at around 24k, which would be the dealbreaker to you (just imo)

I would recommend OnePlus Nord 4, 120hz, metal construction, 5G, Snapdragon 7 Plus Gen 3, 5500 mAh battery, 100w charging and I personally love the way it looks. It's exactly 29,999 on Amazon rn

Maybe have a look for poco f6 and set a custom rom like lineage or something else like crdroid and make it bloatware free. Performance will improve and it will be good for media consumption too.
