This is quite a big dilemma I see. I think that if you really trust your daughter you should simply sit her down and have a gentle conversation about internet safety.
Young girls her age is fairly quick to cast someone out because they are different. It’s often about being the smartest and having the cool stuff.
And not having a smartphone when all the other kids in her class has one, it makes it very hard for her to keep being popular. I bet her friends all have social media accounts where they interact, like and comment each other’s posts.
She can’t do that witch is also part of making her feel left out. You also wrote that “she is not a technology addict and spends most of her time playing outside.”
If the reason you don’t want to give her a smartphone is because you a scared of her becoming addicted to it, I have a few Ideas that would probably make you less worried.
You could arrange a compromise with her.
