Which mobile phone should I consider ?

Following a sudden and inexplicable collapse of my legs, my family want me to get a mobile phone. I've had one in the past but small text and buttons frustrated me too much to use. My father-in-law (87!) advises the Doro 8040, while I've also seen the Samsung Galaxy J5, which I like as I also do alot of photography and this would be handy. Thanks for giving me your views.

Smartphones such as Samsung, iphones have features via the accessibility setting which allows increasing font/text size as well to use speech to text facility. I assist with people with sight problems and dexterity and a decent smartphone has a big impact on managing your concerns. Dora is fine but with limitations.
