15-20K Looking for a smartphone for my mother

Hi everyone
I am looking for a smartphone for my mother , who is 73 years old , considering her age , and a max budget of 20k , any recommendations would be appreciated .

Moto interface will be the simplest interface. No ads etc. Buy the BIG launcher app if vision is an issue.

Any Motorola in that range would be okay.

Ask her about screen size preferences. If the smartphone is only for video calling, then you can think about a tablet + regular phone.
Battery life and screen size would be the most imprtant factors in the decision in my opinion.

Is there a similar app which increases the size of the default icons etc. more than we can do by default?

No need for any other app. The OS itself has a built-in font size selector. It is generally given under "Display Option>Font"

I think you can use any phone for the matter
For eg the poco x4 pro at 18999 is a good phone
And the lite mode it comes as standard on all Xiaomi phones so you can basically use even a redmi note series and this option can actually be really helpful.
I dnt think there are any good moto phones under 20k

If fan of the simplicity of stock Android the Nord 2 ce lite is another phone that runs on stockish Android haven't used it personally so can't comment on that.

samsung galaxy m32 for 12999 with amoled display amd 6000mah battery is i think will be great buy for your mom...unless your mom is pro user.

From the screenshots, this looks cleaner than the BIG launcher listed above

I had put it in Dad's (75+) phone and he is happy with it so far

I've given my grandpa Redmi 8A with big launcher, he's 82 & using it just fine.
Sometimes he calls me accidentally but that is okay since he's still learning
