Relatively basic smartphone (S3 replacement)

My MIL has an S3 and it's coming to the end of its useful life. Can anyone recommend a c£100 (max £150) replacement please? I have an OPPO Find X3 Lite and I'm happy with it but realistically it's too expensive for her needs. She needs an Android based system as similar to the S3 as possible please.

Moto G6 - one of the older Motorola models but it's a good one and will last. I'd recommend the G50 but that's about £190 and if the budget is £150 then the G6 will come in under that

I've got a galaxy A12 from/and on Tesco

I've gone on contract but the phone and calls are billed separately and it's mine after 3 years. No interest - so I'm paying £2.99 month for the phone - It's around £108 if bought outright.

Check out Blackview phones. They make rugged ones for outdoorsy use but also an Android A60, A70, A80 and so on range that hover around the £100 mark. An Amazon search will throw up a variety of unlocked models.

Made in China so obvious caveats about security.

A firm I freelance for issues them to staff and the reports have been favourable in terms of reliability. They work easily with EE and O2, but there is a bit of configuring to do with Vodafone I believe.
