Mum is a decade older and is getting on pretty well with a Nokia 3 after resisting the switch from candy bars until less than a year ago

Tricky one.
My parents are a little older but I got them both Moto g whatevers around 5 plus years ago.
Fortunately they mainly got it so are both now using more up to date Moto G whatevers.
I have done a fair bit of support however, which I think is inevitable. It's a real shame that technology doesn't seem to consider older generations.
I do think android is a good option if you're prepared to help as it's so customisable. Namely with:
- Initial set up - I.e. just getting the phone up and running
- customisation I.e. removing unwanted apps / putting apps on the homescreen etc / enlarging fonts / changing synch options
I've found the cheap to mid range Motos very good for my parents and my mum particularly likes / appreciates the big screen.
- Initial set up - I.e. just getting the phone up and running

My mother has asked for an Android smartphone for her birthday- she wants very simple and easy to understand as she has never had one before (she is 75), also she may not be able to get along with it, so affordable would be nice- what would the forum hive mind recommend?
