G-mee Connect Review - Smartphone for your kids

Wouldn’t you agree that your smartphone already replaced almost all your old-school gizmos from camcorder, calculator, camera, calendar, etc? Sometimes, I miss using a phone that is just for making phone calls and sending texts.

Since G-mee Connect is a Google registered smart device, you can install most apps that are on Google Play Store. You can also use the built-in Google apps like Gmail, Maps, Google Assistant, Chrome and such.

G-mee Connect is still a G-mee device so you get content controls like G-mee App Lock and G-mee CallBlock. G-mee CallBlock lets you select the only apps you want to open and PIN lock the rest. The G-mee CallBlock lets you whitelist or blacklist phone calls and SMS.

Since this is a G-mee, there is no camera.

The 5-inch screen is big enough for your kids to watch their favourite streaming entertainment. Plus it comes with 4G connectivity so that you can still make and receive calls.

So who is this mainly for?

When your kids are ready for their first smartphone, the G-mee Connect will give you complete control and the ability to restrict and free up functionality when you decide that the time is right for your child to have more accessibility.

I must say G-mee Connect is well-designed for your child as a proficient and reliable first phone. So if you’re thinking of buying your child his/her first phone, look no further. You can buy G-mee Connect for AU$149.95 at their website.
