I'm buying a phone for my mom, she doesn't need too much, but I want the best I can get for the money..  She cares about good camera and ease of use (she's switching from an very old phone with physical buttons).

I'd like it to have low amount of bloatware as well.

Please pick one from the list.

 

NOTE: These are the only ones I can get in my country! Yeah I know, not that many phones.

I like Motorola. Xperias imo generally have a lot of bloatware and the Huaweis do to.I would say the Motorola with the round shape is much more comfortable in the hand

Oh well it's not like I'm gonna be using it. Is it really the best performing from the list (best camera, least bloatware)

Well I just read a review and watched the video from android authority. I like the fact it has amoled and 4k recording. The android is almost vanilla. And as you said it is comfortable to hold. I might as well get the Moto Z.

Can you get Moto Mods where you live? If you can that would greatly add to the appeal of the Moto Z Play.

Yes, it's 2871 as in the year 2871. I traveled all this way, back in time, just to help you. And you thought your mama lied when she said you were special-_-

I can't.. but I can order the shell on ebay right? To hide the ugly back.. I wouldn't get anything else from the mods I saw. My mom will put in the wallet type case.

Yes, you can! Unfortunately eBay links are apparently now banned on the LTT forum, but if you search eBay you can find many varieties. If eBay ships to your region you may also be able to find mods that way.

I don't know about these phones

But, maybe you want to consider xiaomi

I am using xiaomi redmi note 3 pro currently and it is working perfectly

The specification is similar with huawei p9 lite but it's a bit cheaper

You can find it in amazon for around $200

The Moto z play and Moto z come with 1 shell included.

If you order out for a hasselblad camera motomod later on it's an amazing addition always makes my friends jelly.

And it comes with a decent carry thingy you can drop into your handbag no biggy.
