Hi all, planning to buy basic smartphone for my mom and dad
Any recommendation? no need canggih2, as long as can use whatsapp, dual sim and basic functions (calls, sms, radio, camera) are decent should be OK
Was looking for the DirectD promo for Lumia 630 buy 1 free 1 but sudah sold-out pulak

1. Brand. (any)
2. Budget. (rm500 for 2 phones)
3. Specs. (basic entry level smartphone with dual sim and reliable basic functions i.e. calls, sms, radio, camera )
4. What you need in the phone (easy to use as this is for my mom and dad who are >50 years old)

Thanks in advance

rm250 is very limited budget for a smartphone.
can only get very basic smartphone, but at least this 2 got 1gb ram.
Huawei Y5C
lumia 430

yeah it is limited budget, but then i just want my parent to get a feel of using smartphone first
if OK, only can consider a better smartphone

what if i remove the dual-sim requirement, is there any more phones can be recommended?

Cheaper somemore doh.gif  Alcatel Pixi 3, but note this only got half everything of Y5C. so Y5C is a better option than this.

trust me. that cheap2 phones usually came with little of ram. usually around 512mb (guess how much the remaining free ram?). and they will complaint the phone is always lagging.

fork few more hundreds, and get at least phone with 1gb of ram.

thanks for the response

Huawei Y5C and Lumia 430 is my top choice now, both come with 1GB RAM
