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...
yea i would skip all smartphones. i got them an ipad. my parents are i their 80. there was no way failing eyesight and hand coordination can handle a tiny smartphone screen. Also skip android. Android has truly shitty touch interface responsiveness compared to Apple devices. Apple has the world's best natural touch responsiveness. This is the main reason Apple is wooping Android ass. Dont waste money on smartphones for elderly. Only Ipads have a chance of working.
in fact for my mum, i was inclined to skip all touch devices. as a lady she has long fingernails. with arthritis making her fingers more crooked, there was no way for her to use a touchscreen. her fingernails would always tap the screen first. even if she trimmed her nails, her nails would touch first and the touch interface would fail. so i obtained a push button phone for her, old vintage desktop style.
do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles.

for the sake of humanity, pls permaban threads from using activityhub etc if it in any way uses data shared with kbin/lemmy. threads is an abominatin - it doesn't show you when people mention you in replies, and it selectively shows you things which only zuckerprick wants to show you. so posts are not even shown chronologically, threads just doesn't bother to show you all the posts.
threads is clearly a vehicle for fascist control of the population, far more than twitter ever was. pls protect kbin/lemmy from being infected or else when threads is affected by political scandals, kbin/lemmy will be affected.
WHY IS KBIN/LEMMY NOT CLARIFYING THAT FACEBOOK THREADS IS BANNED ALREADY?????
What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?
