Xiaomi introduced a budget smartphone Qin Q

A new unusual novelty in the Qin line has become available on the Xiaomi Youpin site. The Qin AI Life Q phone looks like a cross between a Game Boy and an MP3 player in design, supports 4G and is focused on recording voice messages.

According to the manufacturer, the main purpose of this device is to help parents communicate with children who do not yet know how to write and read, and to participate in their learning and knowledge of the world. With such a phone, a child just needs to press one button to record a voice message for mom or dad - and receive a response in a familiar voice, and not in text that he cannot read.

A special version of the software prohibits the installation of third-party applications and protects the child from third-party users, and the parent can control the list of contacts in the child's phone from his smartphone. In addition, a permanently active GPS sensor allows you to track where your child is at any time.

So far, Qin Q is only available in China at a price of 399 yuan (≈4,040 rubles). It only works with Chinese, messenger and voice assistant. However, previous Qin smartphones entered the global market, so this model may eventually acquire a version with Russian language.
