I'd say probably a Moto G7. It runs basically stock Android and prices range from $80-150 depending on whether you want new, used, or refurbished.

Hey there,
I would recommend something like the pixel 3A if you want the stock android expeerience, but you can’t really go wrong with a samsung J or A phone either, those come fairly cheap as well.

I have a Moto g6 and I really like it. Mine cost $100 on eBay for a refurbished one. My last phone was an iPhone and while accessibility on this one isn't as good, I can get by.

Keep in mind that I use magnification and large text, though. I've tried the screen reader on here and it's ok but I don't enjoy using it.

I use the Essential PH-1, which is pretty close to stock and supports Android 10. It definitely lets you start Talkback with the volume key shortcut. Not saying it's the best phone; I haven't tried a moto or pixel anything. It's the one I have though, and I like it.

Thanks. I am often asked to help people with their phones, and its usually because they have an Android. I send them with a friend and he helps them. I don't have enough patience for the phones I have tried to use.

I wouldn't go on anything less powerful than the pixel 3 a. That's rolling with the Snapdragon 670 which is an upper mid-range chip. TalkBack will run fine on weaker stuff but you won't have the best of times.

if you get a Samsung phone, use voice assistant to get to the play store so that you can install the Android accessibility suite. Samsung is a special snowflake that doesn't install it by default and uses their own crap screen reader instead. Android also doesn't have as smooth a setup experience as iOS. supposedly you can start TalkBack from setup with holding down both volume keys for 3 seconds but I've never gotten it to work. Maybe it only works on Pixel devices, not sure. There's an on-screen toggle for the screen reader under the vision settings menu on the very first screen. You can get a sighted person to turn it on if the hardware key combos don't work. if you need Braille then be sure to install Brailleback as well. I have no idea how well it works since I've never used it. Also I recommend gboard, if your phone doesn't ship with it by default. It's the Google keyboard and it supports rapid key input and has halfway decent speech recognition.

If you need help on using Android or some other app suggestions to make the experience a little better, like launchers, then let me know. I'm happy to help.
