Some of the standout features on the new myFirst Fone R2 include the 5MP Wide-Angle camera and a built-in eSIM that is supported in 85 countries. Kids can keep the watch on at all times to use the fitness tracking, even when swimming, as the Fone R2 is water-resistant up to 3 meters.
myFirst Camera 50
The myFirst Camera 50 is a little powerhouse of creativity packed into a kid-friendly design.
At its core is an 8MP rear camera, ensuring high-quality images that can bring any child’s vision to life. The front-facing 5MP camera is perfect for selfies, capturing those priceless expressions.
It’s not just about still photos; the Camera 50 also records video, letting young photographers experiment with different types of visual storytelling. With a substantial 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, there’s sufficient room to store their captured memories.
