I always believe that where there is demand, there is market. As a traditional timing tool, the watch is now integrated with many mobile Internet genes. The addition of positioning, step recording, calling, heart rate and other functions makes the watch shine again. So when the phone and watch are placed in the scene of children positioning and the elderly preventing losing, someone must stand up and say, "This is what I want." Once the desire to buy is aroused, the next step is to pay for it.

However, when this kind of product is popularized to children, it still encounters many obstacles. Due to the lack of self-control and self-discipline ability of children, it is inevitable to indulge in fun. The richer the function, the greater the viscosity; In addition, the comparison between children is also objective. It is not conducive to physical and mental growth, and such products will naturally be resisted by schools and teachers. On the one hand, parents have a strong need to know the children's situation in time, and on the other hand, schools and kindergartens have a strong resistance to positioning watches. In such a narrow gap, a positioning product with a low-key appearance, which seems not to be a watch, was born.

[Overall appearance and details]

As a member of the Xiaomi family, the Mi Tu positioning phone has followed the consistent simple packaging of Xiaomi products. The paper shell and paper holder of the same material are light in nature, and they are not articles that need to be handled with care. In fact, such packaging is enough to protect the product.

The white location phone lying in the box can be seen through the "skylight" on the paper shell.

There is detailed product information on the back of the packaging box. Here we can see that the product name is "GSM wireless data terminal", which means that the Michare location phone can only use Unicom and Mobile 2G networks, and the telecom card does not support it.

To open the package, just tear it on the back of the package.

Pour out all the items in the packing box at once. In addition to the instructions and the three pack certificate, there are actually only Mi Tu's location phone and an elastic lanyard.

The Mi Tu location phone is different from the common location watch in appearance, and it doesn't look like a phone. In fact, this is also a place for Mi Tu to play tricks. At least, criminals will not immediately recognize this product as a positioning product and be discarded. The size of the front of the rabbit is about one third of the size of the bank card, so the small figure can be well hidden from children.

The front and rear sides of the Mi Tu positioning phone are curved, and there are no obvious sharp edges and corners around the body. This shape is certainly the safest for children. Without removing the back cover, only one round function key can be seen on the Michare body, which is lined with indicator lights and speakers.

The top of the body is a Micro USB charging interface, and the bottom is a lanyard hole and a microphone.

More details will be shown when the back cover is removed. There is a hidden power key between the function key and the indicator light. Below the function keys is the SIM card slot, which supports mobile and Unicom Nano cards. It was measured that the card insertion and removal operation was relatively smooth, but the card insertion and removal required the help of a pin and other small objects to eject in the opposite direction, but there was no pin in the standard configuration.

As a carry on item, the size is too delicate to avoid losing. Fortunately, the Michare positioning phone has an elastic lanyard with which you can clip the lanyard behind the blank through the lanyard hole. This design is common on traditional button type mobile phones, such as Nokia.

Install the SIM card, press and hold the power key for 3 seconds, and then the indicator light will light up white with a pleasant prompt sound, indicating that the power on is successful. Snap back the back cover, and the next settings need to be completed on the phone.

[Initial Setting and Function Introduction]

Users are required to download the "MIBU Location Phone" app on the mobile phone. At present, the mainstream Android Both iOS platforms have been adapted, and various Android software stores and Apple App Store can be downloaded.

The first time you use the "MIBU Location Phone" app, you need to register an account. If you already have a Xiaomi account, you can use the Xiaomi account to log in directly.

In order to make the mobile app and MIBU location phone related to each other, you need to bind them first. The process is relatively simple. After power on, the MIBU location phone will prompt that the network connection is successful. In the case of networking, scan the QR code on the instructions in the app, and complete the binding according to the prompts. There is no threshold in the whole binding process. After the file device prompts "Binding succeeded", further settings can be made.

Because it is the first time to connect, some necessary settings need to be made, such as administrator address/phone number, device nickname/number, home location, and security area. The so-called security zone is also called "security fence" on some positioning watch products. Its function is that when the location phone leaves or enters a safe area, the administrator's mobile phone will receive a prompt notice as soon as possible to know the location information of the location phone in time, which is also a main function of the Mi Tu location phone.

The same practical functions include real-time tracking, map navigation, and viewing motion tracks. On a sunny morning, Baoma and her baby played hide and seek with Baodad. According to the actual measurement, based on the 2G data network, the update of location data may have a little delay, but the location meter of the location phone can be accurate to the single digit, which is acceptable.

[Introduction to humanized functions]

There are also many humanized function designs of the Mi Tu location phone, which are mainly reflected in voice calls.

① Member management

The administrator account can add new members through the app, with the call whitelist function. Non members cannot make location calls, effectively avoiding the incoming calls of advertising harassment calls;

Members are divided into group members and call members. Group members can apply location tracking/two-way calls, while call members can only talk;

② Voice broadcast

Although there is no screen, the voice prompt of Mi Tu's location phone is very powerful. With the function key of voice broadcast, you can quickly dial the preset contact number: press the function key twice to preset the contact name by voice, press the function key twice again to switch to the next contact in the preset list until you find the contact you want to dial, press and hold the function key for 3 seconds to automatically dial the contact number, and there is a corresponding voice prompt.

③ Answer the phone

When there is a call from Mi Tu, the device will automatically broadcast the name of the caller (preset). At this time, short press the function key to answer, long press the function key to end.

④ Silent callback/recording monitoring

In case of an emergency when the child cannot be contacted, parents can know the voice around the location phone through these two functions. Silent callback means that after the administrator sends a command on the app, the location phone of the meter rabbit will automatically call back the administrator's mobile phone number. At this time, the meter rabbit itself has no movement, and the function key cannot be hung up. Recording monitoring means that after the administrator sends a command, the Michare location phone automatically records the recording for several seconds and sends it to the app on the administrator's mobile phone.

⑤ SMS and call records

Although there is no screen, the Michare location phone can still receive short messages. The administrator app can easily view the messages and call records received by Mi Tu.

⑥ Other functions

Sports steps, phone bill inquiry, voice search, automatic answer, alarm clock, etc.

About the endurance: since it is a phone call, it is inevitable to mention the endurance problem. Since there is no screen, Mi Tu will not ask the owner to fill the pet every day. According to the actual measurement, there is no problem in standby for 3-5 days when the battery is fully charged. If the location tracking and recording monitoring functions with high power consumption are not frequently used, the standby time may be longer.

After receiving the location call from Mi Tu, I didn't rush to code words. I believe that only through more in-depth experience can I know more about the practicality of this product. And the fact is also true. After several days of use, I found that this gadget is more and more powerful. In addition, with the continuous iterative upgrading of the firmware and app of the Michare location phone, I believe this low-key location phone can have a more perfect display. With the growth of age, there may be more beautiful location watches attracting children's attention, but it can not be denied that this MIBU location phone has caught the needs of users in the narrow age group. Moreover, the price of 169 yuan is destined to be a cost-effective product. This is the reason why it is so called to spend small money on big things.
