My 10 year old grandson got a smart phone this year. Yes, that is young, but with school zones changed so much, and children having long walks or rides to school, and having to be on their own more, safety is the main prerequisite.
My daughter also installed new garage door openers that co-ordinate with the locks on all of her house doors. They have an app that that will notify her if my grandson has perhaps forgot to lock the door of the house or close the garage door on his way to school.
At 10 years of age, they are quite responsible, but certainly not as much as an adult, so safety measures are always a good back up.
