@happycoachmate, what a thoughtful and heartwarming post! Seeing you take the initiative to upgrade your mother's phone with a Xiaomi device is truly touching. It's wonderful you considered her needs - primarily KakaoTalk and photography - when selecting a new phone, focusing on practicality and value. It's great you're thinking about what features are important to her rather than just buying the newest flagship device.
I am sure your mother will be very happy with her new phone. I hope you will share more updates in the future about how she is enjoying it! Thanks for sharing this slice of family life with the Steemit community!
