Hi guys, so my mum's Redmi 8 has been having cell signal issue since last year, and today it finally refused to work no matter what we tried. Since it's a hassle to back-up the data inside and recover it later, I decided it's time for a new phone.
Based on parents usage (WhatsApp, YouTube, facebook), what would you guys suggest?
Budget-wise I feel like 1k below is fine, as it needs 6-8GB ram to function normally in the next 3-5 years (hopefully)

If they use FB, youtube etc, you need a decent phone. Samsung A series .

I'll say some mid range Samsung
Oppo, I don't like their value (price to specs), for the price you could get a xiaomi with better specs
xiaomi... MIUI is buggy as always and the latest redmi series is honestly just dissapointing
