The Konka U18 cellphone has been designed as a different kind of mobile device for children and teens that takes a decidedly simple approach to connectivity. The cellphone is intentionally free of a large screen and apps to only allow users to make or receive calls, snap photos and take video calls with the front and rear-facing cameras, and communicate via WeChat. The device also features an SOS panic button that can be pressed in the event of an emergency to notify authorized contacts that you're in danger or need help.
The Konka U18 cellphone enables parents to provide their children with a more secure way to stay connected without enabling them to freely access any kind of content or spend too much time browsing.
