Android mobile phone - a54 alternative

Hey, looking for two phones for my parents as Christmas presents. My mom wants a Samsung, I was thinking about a54, seems decent and it looks like can be had for sub 300 quid. Not too sure about dad, as he doesn't need as good of a phone.

Any recommendations?

    Poco F5?

    Cheapest Electrical is currently selling grade A rated A54 around £220 on their eBay store. Bonus of a 20% cashback just today from Quidco and if the BUYBETTER20 code works, then another 20% off. Cheapest Electrical has very good feedback from HUKD members; my own experience has been excellent with grade A phone looking like new.

    i have seen a lot of deals with cheapest electrical and i have heard good reviews from hukd members. i don't like buying refurbished stuff and not from ebay but i may give them a go.

    Samsung has relatively long security update.
    I suggest stick with them.
    Voxi has deal for brand new A54 at the moment.

    Have you considered the samsung a34. Currently in Argos for £249 brand new. 256gb storage and 8gb ram. Wife's had It a few weeks and its really good.

    Would get them both Samsung's honestly unless they're tech savvy, just for ease of both of them having phones that work the same way. You get good support and security updates from Samsung too.

    Maybe and A54 and an A34, or there are even cheaper A variants although get a lot more basic. I have an A54 and very happy.
