Hi Dimers,

I wanted to gift my Father a Smartphone, Preferably Android.

he is not that much techie so High Config is not necessary. All he need is for Whatsapp and Mobile Banking.

I have Moto E3 Power (Flipkart) in mind, kindly suggest few phones in Range of 8K.

I was thinking of Redmi Series as well, but found the User Interface is more friendly in Moto Device as compared to Redmi ones.

In terms of Build Quality and Ease of use

Thanks so much for all your help guys !!

If you are thinking of Moto then I would suggest Moto G4 play in this range.
Moto E3 power is more lenevo quality than Moto.

And also there has offer on Amazon for Moto G4.

1.Get ₹1,000 cashback in Amazon Pay balance*

2.Additional 10% Cashback* on Standard Chartered Bank Credit & Debit Cards

Never used a moto g4 nor e3 power but from what I perceive it’s better avoid miui phones purely because of the heavy customisation.

I think e3 power is a good choice, one of the major advantage I see is that it does not have a metal body design which makes it lot more convenient to handle especially for elders. If it were for some youngster I would have recommended to look at other alternatives such as RN3/K6 power/redmi 3s etc.

For general users I always suggest to go with a company that has better service. Samsung/LG etc will serve you better.

Recently, I bought a Infocus M680 for a relative for the same purpose and it’s good but again can’t say about after sales.

On5 Pro on Amazon – 7990 – is also an option

Since this phone is for your father, here is a post I had written a month back for a phone within Rs 10000 which @maxdealer wanted for his father.

Also, here is another post I had written for phones within Rs 8000 for @imanishjain534 which is a list I would still recommend looking into since it has detailed options of Coolpad Note 3 Plus, Moto E3 Power, Redmi 3S Prime and Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus(2 GB RAM).

As for your query, just like the Nexus series phones, Motorola phones use stock/ pure android so the user interface feels friendlier with a good built. Redmi phones are a good option when it comes to built and features within a good budget as well. The comparatively good models like the Redmi Note Prime and Redmi 3S series are out of stock due to popular demand. If you raise your budget to Rs 9000, you can add 3 more good phones into your list of choices:

1) Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus 3GB RAM version for Rs 8499 with 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, 13 mp camera with 1080p video recording and Android 5.1.

2) Moto G4 Play for Rs 8999, which as @gdeal mentioned has a Rs 1000 cashback in Amazon Pay Balance offer running with 2 GB RAM, 16 GB internal memory, 8 mp camera with 720p video recording and Android 6.0.

3) Xiaomi Redmi 3S Prime for Rs 8999 (Currently Out of Stock) with 3 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, 13 mp camera with 720p video recording and Android 6.0.

The Moto E3 Power for Rs 7999 is a Flipkart Exclusive. I feel is a good choice for your father since it has a good battery and features and parents generally don’t look for a biggest size or use the latest features as much as youngsters do. However the Android 7.0 update is not yet announced for the Moto E series, so if you plan to opt for the Moto G4 Play an added advantage is that you will get the Android 7.0 update.

All those who are tagged here, do let us know your views on the phones you purchased as well.

@sherlock: Let us know what you select and the overall performance of the phone when your father uses it https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif.

@parikshitgoel06914:Moto G4 plus is available exclusively with Amazon for Rs 13999 now. Currently the good on-going deal by Amazon is Rs.1000 off(Rs 13999 inclusive of Rs 1000 off) and 10% cashback if you pay with HDFC card, in Reward points upto Rs.500.

Till 2 days back you could have bought a Rs 1000 gift card from Amazon for Rs 950 by using the coupon code 2017YEAR, Rs 50 off, valid only once but now the offer is expired.

Now is the best time to get it, with the Android 7.0 update and the Amazon offers https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_biggrin.gif.
