- Sony Xperia 5 III – Good small option. Beautiful display. Excellent audio. Small size. Solid performance. Cons. Lacklustre battery life. Difficult to use camera.
The best phone for kids is the Google Pixel 6a. It’s a relatively small and affordable Android phone that has an excellent camera, decent battery life, and software support until 2027. The Pixel 7a is now out, but it doesn’t add too much more, so I recommend taking advantage of the Pixel 6a’s permanent price drop.
