Should I get a below $200 or a $1k phone for my mother. My mother use the phone for call, sms, Whatsapp, watch YouTube, scroll her Facebook and play mobile games. Her phone got some apps such as Singpass, mobile Telco app and a few others apps but No internet banking, no shopping apps, no makan apps, no grab apps, no paylah and no google pay and etc. For payment she use cash and for transport she use ez link card.

Her current phone Samsung Galaxy A05s which cost $169 after Shopee voucher. Bought in November 2023. But now very lag because it ram is only 4gb variant. They say nowadays phone must at least 6 to 8gb ram then the phone can use a few years without lag.
