Upgrade from Vodafone smart ultra6 for my mother?

As title says,
my mother who is 84 has got the hang of the smart ultra6, but is looking to replace it with something newer.
Something in the price range of these two would suffice.

Umidigi F1

Or

Moto G7 Power

Thanks for any suggestions.

Stay away from umi

I'm speaking from personal experience

Their software is buggy as hell

I'd recommend amazon

Samsung Galaxy A20 or A40 would be my recommendations.

Still trying to decide what to get her.

I sort of like the look of both of these,

Moto G7 power as suggested above.

Or

Asus ZenFone Max Pro ZB602KL 4GB/64GB

Opinions please as I am not too clued up on current android phones.
I need to keep it simple for her.

Just thinking,
as there is no absolute rush buying something, should I wait for black friday deals?

Of the 2 listed, id go for the Moto G7. Newer device by a year.

You could wait and see what comes up. I recall a few deals popping up for phones last year. But given the surge in orders, it might push delivery times after a bit longer.

Thanks,
I was wondering would the G7 Power drop another bit since the G8came along.

G7 Power is €175 in Laptops direct and buyitdirect.

I wouldn't order it from China.

Google pixel 3a is €249 in Vodafone at the moment. Stock Android which is basically what the smart ultra was.

Just bought my mum the Redmi Note 8 Pro. But pricier but very good so far. Stick Nova launcher Pro on it and you're sorted.

If I was to go that amount I would get the G8 for 269.
Thanks

I considered the g7 power, but wanted NFC so went with Nokia 6.1 from eglobal. Very happy with it.

Went with the G7 power for her. £139 on amazon for the single sim version.
Thanks for all advice.
