Local kids-tech maker myFirst has launched the Fone R2 smartwatch, Frame Live (10”), Frame Doodle (9”) digital photo frame, and Circle 2.0 social app. Prices below.
“Today, we are proud to introduce myFirst Circle 2.0, along with two new devices – a new smartphone myFirst Fone R2 and a new myFirst Frame. myFirst Fone R2 offers an incredibly lightweight design paired with a stunning display while myFirst Frame is an addition that not only enhances children’s digital experiences but also empowers grandparents to effortlessly connect with their grandchildren’s world, fostering meaningful family connections,” said G-Jay Yong, Founder and CEO of myFirst.
The myFirst Fone R2 smartwatch has a 1.3-inch AMOLED screen and is thinner (16%) and lighter (7g) lighter than its predecessor (R1s).
“I frequently check in on my daughter to stay connected with her daily activities, whether it’s during lunch, before bedtime, or while I’m working long hours or on overseas business trips. The inspiration behind the Knock-Knock feature comes from my desire to share these moments effortlessly. Now, I can check in, and she responds with delightful updates, like enjoying a bowl of strawberries at home. It’s a simple yet powerful way for us to bridge the distance and feel close, no matter where we are,” said G-Jay Yong, Founder and CEO of myFirst.
It has an intelligent brightness adjustment with a low-power mode that boosts battery life by 30%.
The myFirst Circles 2.0 app is an upgrade from the debut of the original version from January this year (2023) and introduces interactive features such as Momojis and a Knock-Knock feature.
The updated app also features improved location scanning with smart classification, to provide greater safety for children and peace of mind for their parents.
myFirst Circle 2.0 is free and available on Apple AppStore, Google Play and Huawei App Gallery.
For the grandparents at home to keep up with their grandchildren’s activities, myFirst Frame Live (10-inch) and myFirst Frame Doodle (9-inch) enable the former to access the Circles 2.0 app for a personalised feed that enables them to interact with the young ones.
