Hi Guys,

Looking to buy an android, suitable for mum.

So touchscreen, easy to use, and budget around the $200 mark, but up to $300.

Basically excellent battery life is a must, and can handle the odd minor fall, etc.

Thanks.

    Lumia 735 is $248 with a bonus $100 coles giftcard. Not android, but I would question the need for it. If she want an easy to use phone that is super fast, then consider windows phone. If there are particular apps she uses, then besure they're on WP.

    Hello, there are so many gadgets that run on Android. Please specify which one (Smartwatches, Smartphones ? Tablets ? Phablets ?) then I'd give you some suggestions.

    Do you NEED to spend so much?
    My mums NEEDS for a phone was exactly that, a phone, very occasionally music, even less again camera.
    $40 LG from woolies and a $3 Gel case from ebay is more than what she needed.

    Android Phone… Not tablet.

    Max 4 inch to 4.5 inch screen.

    Needs to have apps like Vibes, and she's used to the android interface.

    Thanks.

    How about the ZOPO zp920? 5.2 inch ISP screen, 1.7gHz octa core processor, 2GB RAM and running the Android 4.4 4 system.It has a high-end configuration, but under your budget.
