Should primary students be allowed to bring cell phones or not?

For arguments:
I think primary students should be allowed to bring cell phones.
First, they can communicate with their parents and friends easily. Especially in case of emergency, they can call others for help, so they can be safer if they have cell phones.
Second, they can surf the Net to look for information that they don't know. This makes students more convenient to do their homework and they can learn things by themselves, without their teachers and parents' help.
Third, primary students don't need to be worried if they get lost because they can use "Baidu map" on their cell phones to find out where they are. This makes their parents more relieved.
Last but not least, they can use "translator" installed on their cell phones to communicate with people from other countries. It's a big advantage for the people who don't know how to speak foreign languages.
To sum up, I think primary students should be allowed to bring cell phones.
Anti-side argument:
I don't think primary students should be allowed to bring cell phones.
First, if they play phones every day, they won't focus on studying and will only think about phones. Maybe their scores will go down quickly.
Second, there are some information that are not good for primary students on the phones such as violence. Those information may change children's minds in a negative way, that's terrible!
Third, primary students are too young to keep a cell phone for a long time, maybe some of them will lost their phones. You know, cell phones are expensive.
And the last reason is maybe they will be cheated by the incorrect information on the cell phones. Sometimes you've lost much money but you haven't realized that!
I think parents can buy smart watches instead of cell phones for primary students. Smart watches are smaller and easier to bring and they're designed only for students so parents don't need to be worried about that their children don't focus on studying.
In a word, I don't think primary students should be allowed to bring cell phones.
