My mother is refusing to upgrade from a Galaxy S20 FE (SM-G780F) and it already has some burn-in of the menu buttons. What phones can I suggest her?

I'd say something like the A55. If she's using an older S series, I'm guessing she isn't using the phone for the S series features. A decent average phone like the A55 could be good

@PhoneGuyYT: As the S20 FE is a few years old now, your mother should find that an A Series device more than meets her requirements, and they are surprisingly affordable given the features that they offer. If you'd like to take a look at the available range, then please follow the link below.

Hi.

I'd say see if you can upgrade her to the s24 fe as it will have more OS updates than the A series so will last a longer if she don't feel like upgrading that often.

You might be able to get a good trade-in discount as well.

Check you local Samsung website for some great deals as today is cyber Monday

Also , if you can do her a favour and transfer all the apps and data and settings to her new phone so the learning curve, if there is any, is not too steep

I'd go for the A55 also. Use smart switch to transfer everything over.

Hi @PhoneGuyYT 

Sometimes people get used to a phone and shun change. 

Perhaps show your mum this thread and try to coax her into a Samsung Experience Store or Highstreet Network Store that has retail models on display to try out. 

If i can be of any further help please don't hesitate to ask  😎

I know i will get flogged for saying this, but consider an iPhone, its a less distracting, easy on the eye, simpler layout and to use.

Alongtime ago i did try with my Mum to setup Easy Mode on an S7 Edge, she didn't like it, tried my sisters iPhone said one of them please.

Oddly though she loved the early Samsung flip phones, the original not the ZFLIP, mainly due to unitended pcoket screen touches, but does not like the current ZFLIP range.
