Please Recommend a Budget Android Phone

I'm looking for an unlocked android phone for my elderly mother. It will pretty much only used for texts and calls and an occasional photo.

Budget is around $200-250 max and needs to be in a physical store to pick up in the next day or 2.

So far I've seen the Vivo Y11s at $178

Any recommendations?

Thanks

  Nice to see them using USB-C on their budget models now. Micro's long been a deal breaker for me.
