How shite are Jio phones?

As the title asks. Looking to purchase a device for my old mother, who uses a top-notch smartphone for last 3-4 years, a Nokia 215 or something. Now I am confused whether to get her a cheap entry level android device or simply a Jio phone. I looked up some reviews on Amazon on Jio phone and it looks like the device is utter shite, like even the simple tasks like inputting a number on the phone lags and all that! LoL. All the Jio phones are made by this LAVA company right? That alone should be enough to absolutely avoid it but still wanted to ask you fellas.

And in that case which entry level android device should be best? I didn’t want to buy any Redmi stuffs ever, but looks like no other good options are left. I would prefer a SD processor on the phone and small screen size and also it should be root-able (don’t ask why), user replaceable battery should be preferred but I am sure that’s not gonna happen. Again, entry-level phone I am looking for, like if it costs 4999 it would be better LoL.

Redmi Go or Zenfone Lite, yeah OK. I shortlisted those two myself. Which one outta those two have better call quality and loudspeaker volume? That’s really important. I need the phone to be very loud while ringing LoL, and the earpiece sound too should be loud. You know, old people, and they need those things, even I do to be quite honest.

I can up my budget to 5999, if that brings in any much better phones.

she is all praised for me at 5008 ( 4999+9 ) for damage insurance for one year
before handing over the phone to your mother pl do update phone for latest software
and keep Volume to out door setting
make camera setting to desire level since preset camera is at very low level
