Photo viewer for elderly dad

Hello!

My dad is an elderly gent and pretty much a technophobe. He loves taking photos on his phone however and regularly maxes out the capacity, and cracks his screen making it difficult to view them.
Is there such a thing as a digital photo ‘viewer’ he could easily load photos on to from his phone and then view separately? A cheap laptop would be too much of a faff from his point of view.

Thanks!

Any possibility of linking his phone to a smart TV? I did this recently with my android phone. I struggled to do it with an apple phone though as the TV's software didn't allow it.

Can the phone be linked to a Google account? Google photos set to sync.. then view from a cheap android tablet?

What phone?

Turn on Google photos / Apple iCloud and get a cheap tablet to view them on.

Should sort out the storage issue too.

My grandad t 101 was more than happy with a tablet to swipe photos way more than a laptop or anything with buttons.

Can you lock a tablet to a few apps to reduce the need for navigating?

He’s got a google phone I believe, so maybe linking to a cheap tablet would be the solution.
Thanks all, I’ll look into it

Google Nest Hub is great for this kind of thing, we have ours playing an endless slideshow of pics, it pulls in recent shots as well as the older ones!
