Should I get my son a new phone?

Currently he has an IPhone 5c which he had for 2 years.

He hates apple phones and he originally wanted Samsung galaxy S3 mini which was much cheaper around the time but his older sister told him that it will blow up in his face due to the events consisting of samsung phones ''blowing up''

We're paying £13 for his phone and now he wants a Huawei P8 Lite 2017

Added (1). He is 16

His sister was wrong.
It was one Samsung model that had issues.
