I bought CMF Phone 1 and CMF Phone 2 Pro for my folks. They as usual accumulated lots of junks and stupid apps.

Luckily the home firewall already flagged and blocked any connections to Myanmar or China from their phones.

Their incoming calls also restricted to those in the contact list and also installed Truecaller to screen their calls. Too many scammers and spammers these days.

You can buy your parents 12GB ram and 50x zoom phone, nobody stopping you bro. Likely they'll only use 1% of the phone full potential.

Samsung A17 can ady.

Avoid prc phone or you will spend time hunting down which in-built app keep on spam advertisement. Even worse when the x button in add is hidden then mistap cause them to download another ad generating app.

Not to mention they always drop the phone or forgot the phone. But for those who can afford the best for them, please do. Make sure your medical for them is also the best.

- Same brand they currently using. Easy for them to use (same OS).
- Large screen 6.7 inch. Easy to see.
- Large storage 256GB min. No need to clear phot or whatsapp video
- Large battery 5000 mAh. No need to charge frequent.

If got money, buy iphone for security. Less chance of being hack with apk.

I got the A17. Thanks for all the recommendations. Thread closed.
