The Galaxy S8 is one of the most premium phones around. Packing a super-sharp 5.8-inch display, a 12-megapixel camera and Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 chipset, the phone is sure to be a winner.
In addition to its waterproof design, the G6 has two cameras on the back and includes a wide-angle lens. That means less straining for everybody with those group selfies. And if your mom is active on Instagram (probably to your dismay), the phone's Square Camera app will give her tons of new photo tricks.
We anticipate the G5 Plus to be one of the better midrange phones this year, and so far it's looking pretty good. With a 12-megapixel camera, a meaty battery and a splash-proof design, you can buy your mom a reliable handset without breaking the bank.
While we wait for Samsung's Note 7 followup after its battery-exploding fiasco, LG has an inexpensive 5.7-inch phone that also has an embedded stylus called the Stylus 3. Good for jotting notes, annotating photos and presentations or just scribbling doodles, it'll help your mom as she goes about her working day.
If your mother prefers the satisfying click-clack of a physical keys (and who doesn't?) the KeyOne comes with a QWERTY keyboard, a convenient shortcut button and extra software security.
