Phone for 13 year old

[marco79]

Its my sons birthday today & he wants a phone. He wants a S4 mini like his mother's but our budget is about R150 per month on a SmartFlexi 100 contract. He mainly wants to use it for BBM & WhatsApp.

I am considering getting him the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. Anyone have any experience with this phone? Its slightly bigger than the S4 mini.

Any other suggestions? Maybe also considering the Sony Experia E1?

You're being deceptive about it. You've masked the URL to not include the affiliate information.

The E1 actually looks like a better deal. The Galaxy Core Prime might be too big. But the 3.15MP Camera?

Needs a decent camera and flash for dick pics, c'mon!

How would a 13 year old rugby player look sporting one of these? He'll be scared for life!

The Core Prime doesn't have a strong or good protective glass screen.

I was talking to my hairdresser about school fees just now. Get the little snot a 3210 and a pair of school shoes.

So glad I don't have any kids.

Did you try asking him what phone he'd like in the budget?

Or give him the budget and let him find his own phone.
