Xiaomi has lately been launching a lot of
new products for crowdfunding and continuing the spree, the company has today
started crowdfunding for a new Qin AI Phone, aimed towards kids in China. The
device is now available for purchase in the company’s home market, through the
Xiaomi Youpin platform, for a price of 399 yuan which roughly converts to US$ 57.
It is being offered in two color options, Pink and White.
In terms of design, the device doesn’t
look like a traditional phone but looks similar to the handheld gaming console
GameBoy. But that doesn’t mean the device doesn’t come with the latest
smartphone features.
The device features display with 240 x 240
pixels screen resolution. It also has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 support. The
phone is likely running a customized skin on the Android operating system and
is powered by a 1,150mAh battery. The new QIN AI Phone has support for 4G eSIM
connectivity for calling as well as data. Along with that, it also comes with
GPS support for precise positioning, which is quite a useful feature for
tracking the location of the kids.
It also has Xioami’s own XiaoAI smart
assistant which supports tons of functionality, enhancing the overall user
experience. There’s also support for some basic phone features such as
messaging, alarm, and others.
