Just in time for Christmas gifts, a new device specifically designed for children arrives on the shelves of Italian stores.
It is a real smartphone, based on the Android operating system. Its name is “Mio Phone” and it was presented by Gruppo Lisciani, a company that bases its business on products – games, books, puzzles, etc. – of a playful yet educational nature.
Mio Phone allows you to use a fully functional smartphone but “adapt” it for a child’s use, offering multimedia content suitable for younger children. Naturally, the issue of safety was carefully addressed by the project developers, as much has been done on the parental control front.
In fact, security filters for internet browsing are available, as well as control systems for applications, phone calls, and SMS messages.
A truly significant feature is the geolocation system integrated into the device: this way, parents will always know where the child (or rather, the child’s smartphone) is located.
Regarding the purely technical specifications, as already mentioned, Mio Phone runs on Android and its core is a Quad Core processor. The RAM is 1 GB, while the available internal memory is 8 GB, expandable via microSD, as there is a dedicated slot.
The display is 5 inches, and there are two cameras: the main one is 5 megapixels, while the secondary one is 2 megapixels.
The package is completed by a 2100 mAh battery.
There are also two peculiar aspects to highlight: first, the inclusion of special earphones in the sales package.
These are not classic earbuds but an accessory that is actually absolutely essential for using the device as a simple phone.
Without earphones, in fact, it will not be possible to make or receive calls. The reason is simple: the intention was to minimize the child’s exposure to any overheating of the smartphone by keeping it away from the child’s ear.
Another feature is the inclusion of over 70 pre-installed games on Mio Phone: these are games and applications specifically for children, even preschool age, in order to provide young users only with content suitable for their age and developmental stage.
The price of Mio Phone is 144.99 euros, available starting today in red or blue colors.
