We all agree that it is not convenient to give away a smartphone at a very young age, but the truth is that 66% of Spanish children between the ages of 10 and 15 use mobile phones (according to a study by the INE). Be that as it may, if a minor is going to use a device (theirs or ours), it is essential that we configure it according to their age with the parental control apps that we have at our disposal.

With this premise in mind, and in case we have decided that the time has come for our son to have his own phone, here we propose a series of Android models that, due to their affordable price, can be a good option as their first mobile . We have tried to choose at least one alternative of each brand that costs less than 150 euros, although you will also see some that stay below 100.

Motorola Moto G20

One of the main features of the Moto G20, beyond its large 5,000 mAh battery, is its quad camera with a 48-megapixel main sensor. Ahead, it equips a 13-megapixel camera in a hole in the 6.5-inch screen.

It also includes a rear fingerprint reader, facial recognition, a button for Google Assistant (which can be disabled) and a splash-resistant design. All this with 64 GB of internal storage that can be expanded with a microSD card up to 512 GB, so you never have to complain about running out of space.

Xiaomi Redmi 9C

In Xiaomi's Redmi range you can find quite a few very cheap models, but this time we are going to stay with the Redmi 9C, which is available in cheerful colors such as blue or orange (in addition to black). And although the 2GB/32GB variants stay below 100 euros, our recommendation is to spend a few more euros on the 3GB/64GB one.

Among the virtues of this phone, the autonomy offered by its 5,000 mAh battery, the 6.53-inch HD+ screen and the triple rear camera stand out. There is also a headphone jack and FM radio missing.
