In today’s highly-connected world, several parents provide their children with expensive smartphones so they, too, can become connected. However, some parents are reluctant to give their children these smartphones. Now there is a wearable, durable and affordable mobile phone for children: Tinitell.
In sum, the Tinitell is the smallest mobile phone in the world designed especially for children. The inventor and founder of Tinitell, Mats Horn, stated, “We’re not trying to create the most advanced mobile phone in the world. We wanted it to be light, highly durable, radiation safe and most of all—easy to operate for our youngest, while offering parents some well-deserved peace of mind. We wanted to create a piece of hardware with a price point well below smartphones.”
Features and Functions of Tinitell
- Positioning:
- Tinitell features a built-in GPS/Glonass System, so you can locate the device anywhere, anytime. It is also easily tracked on the Tinitell App’s map.
- Durability:
- Tinitell’s durable design is IP57, so it’s water-resistant, safe to wear while playing in a sandbox, and more!
- Because I’m a nerd, I had to research what “IP57” stands for. Turns out, IP represents the International Protection Rating. The first digit, in this case a 5, represents solids. The second digit, a 7, represents liquids. Therefore, according to the scale found here:
- 5 = Dust protected.
- “Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment; complete protection against contact.
- 7 = Immersion up to 1 meter.
- “Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1m submersion.)”
- Fascinating, right!? 🙂
