| Neo: a smartwatch for kids with Disney characters |
European telecom company (Vodafone) and (Disney) Disney (Disney) launched a new type of mobile device for children called Neo.
According to Vodafone, Neo combines its technological prowess with Disney's entertainment features to create a wearable device that brings independence to children while keeping parents connected.
The Disney brand is the greatest feature of Neo watches as the watch allows children to choose from a host of characters placed on the watch's home screen, including Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian, Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story, and Minnie the Mouse.
Vodafone said: The characters will move throughout the day and the company plans to add more characters over time at no additional cost.
Aside from introducing Disney magic, Neo is mostly dedicated to raising kids with their kids and has added some smartwatch features.
Parents can use the watch to make calls, send text messages, and get the latest information on the child's location using the Vodafone smart app.
Parents can use the app themselves to create a number of trusted contacts to send text messages and calls to, and limit screen time with "silent mode".
To improve children's independence, the Neo Watch can also receive calendar updates, check weather, track activities, and take pictures with the built-in 5 mega-pixel camera.
Vodafone announced that Neo will be launched in Europe in early 2021, when the retail price is £ 99 and the monthly subscription fee is £ 7.
Remember, mobile devices are not a new category for children. There are several other carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon that pioneered this idea, and Apple has also stepped into this field with the Family Settings feature in watchOS 7.
This watch combines the software experience of the best designers from Vodafone and Disney with devices developed by Vodafone's intelligent, customer-focused tech team with interactive design features.
The new development project is part of an innovative collaboration between Vodafone and Disney. The new product offers a smartwatch experience for children, animated by the most famous Disney characters.
