Break-Proof Kid Smartphones

Kidibuzz's Smartphone for Kids Was Designed for Those Younger Than 10

— January 25, 2018 — Tech
Most modern parents are skeptical of providing their child with a smartphone as the devices are both expensive and easy to break, which is why Kidibuzz's smartphone for kids is serving as such a valuable alternative.

These phones are actual Android devices that have been locked to limit the amount of content a child can access while enclosed in tough, nearly break-proof packaging. The device is aimed at three to seven year olds and features a touch screen, a camera and photo app and a series of educational and entertaining games and apps.

The Kidibuzz phone offers parents peace of mind knowing their child is a just a phone call away, while presenting kids with more autonomy.
Trend Themes
1. Kid-friendly Smartphones - Smartphone companies can create durable and kid-friendly devices with limited access to content and more educational and entertaining games and apps.
2. Locked Android Devices - Tech companies can develop locked Android devices that limit access to content, providing a safe platform for younger children to use without worrying about them accessing harmful content.
3. Child-parent Communication Devices - Manufacturers can create communication devices specifically designed for young children, allowing parents to contact their kids without providing them with unfettered access to the internet and social media.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Manufacturing - Smartphone companies could produce more durable and kid-friendly devices designed for younger children, with limited access to content.
2. Edtech - The development of educational games and apps specifically designed for younger children is a growing industry, and companies could create more content for child-friendly smartphones.
3. Communication Technology - Manufactures could develop more communication-based devices specifically designed for young children, giving parents peace of mind knowing they can easily contact their kids without giving them unfettered access to the internet and social media.
