Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a law on Monday restricting smartphone use in schools, aligning with a global trend toward such measures, reports AP. Effective February, the law will apply to elementary and high school students across the nation. It establishes guidelines allowing device use only in emergencies, for educational activities, or by students with disabilities requiring them. Where does smartphone use start getting problematic? “We cannot allow humanism to be replaced by algorithms,” Lula said during a private ceremony in Brasilia. He described the law as a recognition of educators' efforts to support children and teenagers. A study by Fundacao Getulio Vargas in May revealed that Brazil has 258 million smartphones, surpassing its population of 203 million. Market research from last year showed Brazilians spend an average of 9 hours and 13 minutes daily on screens, among the highest globally. Education Minister Camilo Santana noted that children’s early exposure to online content complicates parental monitoring, and limiting smartphone use in schools aims to address this challenge. The legislation garnered rare bipartisan support from both Lula’s allies and those of his far-right predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro. Parents and students largely back the initiative. An October survey by Datafolha found nearly two-thirds of respondents supported banning smartphones in schools, and over three-quarters believed the devices harm more than help children. India to have 1 billion smartphone users by 2026: Deloitte Ricardo Martins Ramos, a 43-year-old father and restaurant owner in Rio de Janeiro, called the restrictions “tough but necessary,” explaining that while smartphones are useful for schoolwork, excessive social use is detrimental. His 13-year-old daughter Isabela agreed, citing classmates’ struggles to concentrate during lessons. However, she highlighted unresolved issues like bullying and harassment. As of 2023, two-thirds of Brazilian schools had some form of smartphone restriction, with 28% enforcing a total ban, according to an August survey by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee. Several states, including Rio de Janeiro, Maranhão, and Goiás, have enacted local bans, but enforcement remains challenging. Sao Paulo is currently debating extending restrictions to both public and private schools. Gabriele Alexandra Henriques Pinheiro, a 25-year-old beauty professional and mother of a boy with autism spectrum disorder, supports the restrictions but noted adults often set poor examples of smartphone use. She admitted that her own reliance on her device complicates efforts to limit her son’s screen time. Experts and institutions have linked children’s smartphone use to bullying, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and diminished concentration. Other countries have implemented similar restrictions: China limited children’s smartphone use last year, and France has banned the devices in schools for children aged 6 to 15. In the United States, eight states have passed laws or policies to curb smartphone use in classrooms. Meanwhile, more European parents are voicing concerns about the safety and mental health risks associated with smartphone use among children. A UNESCO report published in September revealed that one in four countries has already imposed school restrictions on smartphones. At a U.S. Senate hearing last year, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologised to parents of children harmed via social media and highlighted ongoing industry efforts to improve child protection.

In 2022, we have seen some exciting Smartphone releases from entry-level to proper flagships. However, one of the best things to happen this year was how thin the line became between each category of smartphones. 2022 can easily be the year that redefined what it means to be a budget, mid-range, or even a flagship phone. As the year ends and we look back at the best budget smartphones launched in 2022.  10 Best Budget Smartphones Debuted in 2022  The budget definition varies from person to person. For inclusivity, we are considering the  Tecno Spark 8C  Starting the list with an early release in 2022. The Tecno Spark 8C was the perfect choice starting in 2022 for budget buyers.  It featured an HD+ LCD with a Unisoc processor. The device was specifically designed as an ultra-budget one and featured only the basic setup. Even in the camera department, the main sensor was a 13 MP one, with a secondary marketing sensor being an unrated VGA shooter.  Overall, the device performed the bare minimum without much emphasis on heavy usage. The current price of the device is 13,499 BDT for the base variant. You can check our detailed review of the Spark 8C for a more in-depth idea.  Read: Tecno Spark 8C: Review, Price in Bangladesh Samsung Galaxy A03  The next one on the list is another January release from Samsung. The A series from the company has always been the perfect entry-level smartphone for those looking for reliability.  The A03 features an HD+ TFT panel which might seem like a downgrade compared to its peers. But being a Samsung panel, it doesn’t disappoint much and seems to be on par with most other LCD panels.  The device is powered by a Unisoc T606 octa-core processor based on a 12 Nm architecture. However, the biggest selling point has to be the camera with a 48 MP main sensor gracing the back. The current price of the device is 11,999 BDT for the base variant. Also, be sure to check out our in-depth review of the Galaxy A03. Read More: Samsung Galaxy A03 Review: Is it a worthy budget phone?  Xiaomi Redmi A1+ Launched in September, the Redmi A1+ is a completely ultra-budget offering from Xiaomi. While Xiaomi is known for providing value for money, the A1+ took things to a whole new level.  The display of the device is an HD+ IPS LCD panel with 400 nits of brightness. It's usually not common to see such a bright display at this price point. The device is powered by the Helio A22 processor which is also legitimate enough for day-to-day usage. It won’t be a gaming solution in any way, but it will get the job done regardless.  The current price of the base 3/64 GB variant is around 11,999 BDT. Read More: Xiaomi Redmi A1+ Review: Budget phone with fingerprint sensor Walton Primo HM7  The list won’t be complete if we didn’t include a local brand.

Over the years, the company has also introduced several budget variations of its mid-range offerings.  Symphony Z55 is the perfect example of that. It features a 6.52-inch HD+ display with a triple camera setup on the back. The main 13 MP camera can take some excellent shots in proper lighting. The device is also powered by a capable Helio G25 Processor. Considering the overall package, the Z55 is a steal at the price it comes at.  Users can buy the Symphony Z55 4/64 GB base variant for 11,999 BDT.  Read More: Symphony SYMTAB 80 Review: Budget Tablet for Regular Use Infinix Smart 6 Plus The next on the list is Infinix Smart 6 Plus. Infinix is known for its mid-range smartphones and recently, the company also ventured into the budget segment.  The Smart 6 Plus features one of the largest HD+ displays in this category at 6.82 inches. The back camera might be disappointing for some as it features only an 8 MP sensor with the supporting sensor being a QVGA one. The camera isn’t all that great but the processor and the display somewhat make up for the shortcoming.  The Infinix Smart 6 Plus is available for 10,999 BDT for the base variant.  Read More: Does midrange Vivo iQOO Neo 7 worth its value: Review  Vivo Y01  The Vivo Y01 was released early in 2022 March. The phone is probably the best value offering from Vivo as it offers an almost complete package.  The front features a 6.51-inch HD+ panel which is relatively bright and sharp compared to its peers.

So even though it’s a single shooter, you will be hard-pressed to tell the difference. The device has Helio P35 at its core and the 5000 mAh battery comes equipped with a 10W fast charger.  You can check out our in-depth review of Vivo Y01.

The 13 MP camera is also the best you will get in this price range. Overall, the Redmi 10A is one of the best budget smartphones released in 2022.  The current price of the Redmi 10A is 12,499 BDT for the 2/32 GB base variant.  Read More: Infinix Hot 20s Review: A Budget Smartphone for Gamers realme C31  realme C31 was launched back in March and has been the latest iteration in the C lineup from the brand.  The device features a 6.5-inch waterdrop display with HD+ resolution. However, the main selling point of the device is the triple camera setup with the main sensor being a 13 MP one. A Unisoc Tiger T612 processor powers the device. The Unisoc processor provides relatively better support for even processor-heavy tasks thanks to the high level of optimization in the device. However, it won’t be a gaming solution, but 2D titles will be easily playable.  The realme C31 is available for 14,999 BDT for a 4/64 GB variant.  Read More: realme narzo 50, C31 available across Bangladesh  Motorola Moto E7 Power Ending the list with Motorola’s budget device for 2022, the Moto E7 Power. The E7 features a 6.51-inch display with HD+ resolution. Motorola opted for a dual camera setup on the back with the E7. The 13 MP main sensor is complemented by a 2 MP depth sensor. As a result, portrait shots came out much better with great edge detection.  The device is powered by the Helio G25 with a PowerVR GPU. The performance has been accelerated by the almost stock android experience of the E7 Power.  The Moto E7 Power is available for 13,999 BDT for the base 4/64GB variant.  Read More: Walton Primo R10 Review: Does it offer value for money?
