Best phone for a 11yr old girl?

Vidar · 30 Jul 2021 at 01:00

I'm in a situation where I need to buy my daughter a mobile phone, long story but I'm not happy with her having one but it's become a necessity.

I have a budget of up to £200, and just looking for something decent but not clued up on current handsets. Not interested in 2nd hand units or ios and needs to have good parental controls.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks guys, to be honest this has got me looking at a new phone for myself now as well lol. There's absolutely nothing wrong with my Samsung A70, but yeah possible new shiny!

Nobody my daughter knows is on IOS in her class from what she says so that's a none issue but I've got a few ideas for handsets to consider.

So I'm all sorted now guys thanks, I grabbed myself an S21 ultra while I was at it lol, got a really good deal via virgin mobile so why the heck not.

My daughter ended up with a Samsung A52, nobody in her class or anyone she knows is on IOS, and Virgin Mobile was able to do me a really good deal on both handsets thanks to a family member. She's absolutely made up with it and it's only costing me a few quid a month.
