Which Xplora product is best for your child?
Choosing your child's first "phone" isn't just about age - it's also about safety, functionality and freedom. In this guide, we'll show you which Xplora model is best suited for different age groups, so you can easily find a model that grows with your child.
Ditch the mobile phone: Choose XGO3 for the little ones (4–5 years)
For the youngest children, the XGO3 is the perfect start. It is a user-friendly, robust and simple smartwatch that allows the child to call mom, dad and grandparents, take photos and track their activity – all without access to the internet. The XGO3 makes it safe and fun to take the first steps into the digital world.
Although features like GPS and SOS button are rarely used at this age, they give parents extra peace of mind in places like shopping malls or the playground. With benefits like digital practice and secure communication, the XGO3 is a perfect introduction as a child's first mobile experience.
Perfect for school children: X6Play for 6–9 year olds
When your child starts school, the X6Play is an ideal choice. This model has multiple features and customization options to match your child's growing curiosity and independence. With calls, voice messages, GPS tracking and school mode, the X6Play is built for both safety and fun.
The child can easily keep in touch with selected contacts – which you control via the parent app – and the watch has no access to social media. GPS and safe zones give you an overview of where the child is, and the SOS button ensures that your child can always get help. School mode means that the watch does not interfere with lessons – it simply becomes a regular watch with safety features activated.
Xplora One: A natural first mobile for children
For children who are not ready for a smartphone with full access to everything and need a starter phone, the Xplora One is developed as a safe and simple first step into the mobile world.
Designed with a focus on being the perfectfirst mobile for children , the Xplora One comes with an integrated safety platform that combines the freedom children want with the tools parents need.
With features such as being able to call and send messages, without access to social media or open internet, a more balanced and manageable digital start is provided, where the child can still move independently, and parents still have access to the necessary security.
With a parent app, GPS and safe zone setup, you get the same important basic features in a phone. Xplora One is therefore an obvious choice for younger children who need contact – but not for all the digital temptations that come with a traditional smartphone.
HMD Fusion X1: Smartphone for teenagers
When your child gets older and needs more features than the Xplora One offers, the HMD Fusion X1 is a great phone for teenagers . It combines modern smartphone features with familiar safety tools like GPS tracking, safe zones, SOS, and parental controls. That means it has limited access to social media and the internet, with parents deciding how much time can be spent.
The HMD can be expanded with accessories like game controllers or selfie lights, and the most important security features require a subscription, just like you know from our other products.
What should you as a parent consider before your child's first mobile phone?
Giving your child a mobile phone is a big step – and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. It is therefore important to consider the child’s age, maturity and needs. By starting with an Xplora smartwatch from the age of 4, the child gets a safe and gradual introduction to mobile use. The watches are designed for children – without social media, the internet or distractions.
