This year, your teenager has entered, or will be entering, secondary school, a stage synonymous with greater autonomy and the purchase of his or her first phone. Which smartphone model should you choose? Discover three options to suit different budgets.
According to a study by idealo, here are the three smartphones best suited to middle-schoolers, according to budget.
Low budget: Xiaomi Redmi 13C
Released in November 2023, the Redmi 13C is an excellent choice for a first smartphone. It boasts a 6.74-inch HD+ screen and a 50 MP main sensor, enabling quality photos to be taken. Its 5000 mAh battery ensures sufficient autonomy to last a whole day at the office.
Version 1.0.0
Average budget : Samsung Galaxy A54
High-performance and versatile, the Samsung Galaxy A54 is a very good compromise. Its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display guarantees vivid colors and good outdoor legibility. 5G compatible, it is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery and a 50 MP triple camera.
High budget: Apple iPhone 12
The iPhone 12, though more expensive, remains a popular choice among middle and high school students. Its Ceramic Shield screen offers greater resistance to drops, and its iOS processor ensures good performance. Its camera performs well, especially in low light.
TheiPhone SE (2022) is also a more compact and affordable alternative, but performs just as well.
Another option: simple phones
If you want a more basic phone to avoid the distractions of social networking, dumb phones represent an interesting alternative. From the HMD Barbie flip phone to the reissued Nokia 3310, you'll find several models to suit, and of course, at more affordable prices than smartphones.
