Xplora Technologies ("Xplora"), the leading kids' smartwatch brand, announces
three new smartwatch models for release in 2022: the new X6, the next generation
of
Xplora's successful premium smartwatch X5 Play, and XGO3, a highly improved
entry-level model. In addition, Xplora will introduce the X6 Pro: a
cutting-edge, high-end smartwatch offering unique user experience and platform
interaction. Both the X6 and X6 Pro are developed by Xplora and will be based on
Qualcomm Snapdragon WearTM platforms*, designed for high performance while
providing peace of mind for parents.
"Two questions that almost every parent asks themselves are, how can I better
communicate with my children, and how can I get them to be more active," said
Sten Kirkbak, CEO of Xplora. These new products are great first phones for
children ages 4-10 and represent leading smartwatches with gamification and
step-tracking to promote physical activity.
With the new X6 Pro, Xplora is leaping forward in the kids' smartwatch category
and family IoT space. The product is based on the cutting-edge Qualcomm
Snapdragon Wear 4100 Platform and integrates with the broad portfolio of
services and applications from the Xplora Goplay platform. For an ultra-crisp
display experience, the X6 Pro will come with an AMOLED screen with a leading
class resolution to maximize all the services that come with the watch.
"Xplora is committed to providing our customers with the best quality products
and services to enable families to connect safely. Together we will deliver a
new generation of children's smartwatches with advanced service and content
platforms, allowing children a safe onboarding to the digital world. Our
collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. reinforces that commitment," said
Kirkbak.
"Smartwatches for children have been one of the fastest-growing segments in the
wearables space and hold significant potential for continued innovation. We are
delighted to be collaborating with Xplora to bring new user experiences to
premium smartwatch products that kids love and parents desire. Our popular
Snapdragon Wear platforms are at the heart of Xplora's X6 and X6 Pro
smartwatches, making it possible to innovate on these interactive experiences,
while connected with 4G LTE, staying safer with GPS, and supporting extended
battery life," said Pankaj Kedia, Global Business Head, Smart Wearables and
Shareables Segments of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
