The previous smartphone crashed in P.E. class? Or got lost at the bottom of a backpack? If you’re facing the choice of a new phone for your child, you’ll find it right here, regardless of the reason.
Which smartphone to aim for?
When buying electronics for your child, your selection criteria should focus on a slightly different field of requirements. The technical or visual sphere will become less critical and the one related to safety will come to the fore. It is good to check whether the smartphone has eye protection features, a reading mode, or a low blue light certification. So it’s best to choose something that’s both useful and modest, so that you’re not tempted too much by school thugs and, in the event of an unfortunate accident, you don’t have to worry about the high cost of repairing or replacing the phone with a new one.
Solid design
It’s getting harder and harder to keep a large-screen smartphone in a small trouser pocket, especially when it comes to outdoor activities. A smartphone that “is going out” with a child in the schoolyard has to pass almost military training and withstand more than one stumble. A fine texture on the back of the smartphone can help cushion its fall. This type of design can be seen on the Redmi 10C, whose casing is characterized by fine grooves. The phone will not be indestructible, but it can perform much better than models using a glass case.
Let’s take care of health
Let’s not kid ourselves. Regardless of the model and type of smartphone, your child will spend a considerable amount of their free time with it. It is therefore extremely important to make sure that the new phone has all possible safety features in order not to damage the health of its user. It is worth noting whether the model supports a reading mode to reduce eye strain and whether the colors displayed change intensity depending on the time of day. You will find such features in, among others, Redmi 10C, Xiaomi 11T, and Redmi Note 11 Pro (Reading Mode 3.0). An equally good choice is the Xiaomi 12X, which is a smartphone awarded the Low Blue Light Certification.
Redmi 10C
When choosing a new smartphone for a child, the following criteria can be used:
- durability
- battery capacity
- potential to develop various passions such as drawing, photography or video recording
- and the previously mentioned low blue light emission factor.
Certainly, it is also important that the smartphone does not strain the household budget too much. Depending on your child’s temperament and age, you can decide to what extent they will be able to take care of the device. What’s more, thanks to the NFC module present in this model, you will be able to buy a second breakfast or snack even when you run out of change in your wallet! Fast contactless payments are the perfect way to run out of cash.
Redmi Note 11 Pro
Going a little further, you can look around for a more expensive solution, such as Redmi Note 11 Pro. If your child enjoys photography, it’s worth choosing something that will enable them to develop this interest. Redmi Note 11 Pro is not only equipped with a superb 108MP main camera, capable of taking detailed and razor-sharp photos. It also has micro and wide-angle cameras on board. These will give your child the opportunity to explore the world both up close and from afar, and besides, who knows, maybe you too will learn more about the nature around you by seeing it from a whole new perspective.
Even more to explore
You don’t have to lock yourself into one option if you’re looking for a smartphone with a good camera. You may be interested in Xiaomi 11T and Xiaomi 12X models. The former belongs to a series that is referred to as Cinemagic, dedicated to the art of filmmaking. Designed to create work in even better conditions, with a smartphone that you practically always have with you. The professional 108MP camera and available special effects will stimulate the creativity of small filmmakers. Finished productions will be displayed on a brilliant, full-color 6.67" AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. Think it’s hard to match such a competitor? You’re not wrong! However, Xiaomi 12X is quite a competitor. Like Xiaomi 11T, it shoots the best videos and snaps photos straight out of an art gallery. Although it does not feature as much resolution as the main camera (as it counts “only” 50 megapixels) as its predecessor, it can really do a lot in terms of photography. Check out the product sheets of both smartphones and decide which one wins in your consideration.
Because it is important to take a break
In between exhausting activities, a bit of entertainment comes in handy. Therefore, for a true game lover, hungry for even better experiences, choose a smartphone with a high touch sampling rate. In Redmi Note 11 Pro, the sensitivity of the 6.67" AMOLED display ranks really high. With values of up to 360Hz, it will provide a more responsive experience and more precise movements, which will not only help when playing games but also when your child decides to draw in one of the art apps. See how much fun creativity can bring to a child on a new smartphone!
