Android Looking for phone for dad under 15k

CMF Phone 1

Except Moto & Nothing, all other phones have ad issue, mostly recommendations pushed as notification or ads on lockscreen, even cheap Samsung M series has it.
 
Cheap phones are notorious for bloatware and ads, some of them you can't even uninstall. I prefer native android experience, so Moto phones under 15k would be my choice. Moto G64 or if you can stretch a budget little bit then G85.

True, but Motorola phones still have bloatware issues. One of my friends uses a Moto G32, but with software updates, it started getting annoying lock screen pop-ups called 'Live Lock Screen.' I think one can still disable them, but it gets enabled again with software updates. Something you might want to consider.

If usage are basic then one of the moto phones will do well. Otherwise Poco MI phones are good value for money.
Look for phones that has at least 2 years of software/security updates.

Also look at Samsung M35, got very good 4 yrs software support.

If their usage is basic and needs almost stock android experience, then blindly go for CMF Phone 1. It's fluid, fast and great build quality even the plastic frame is much sturdy. Currently the prices are dropped on Flipkart due to CC Discount.
