Review: Xplora X5 Play is a kids smartwatch with a lot of potential

Excellent hardware for a kid's watch that is held back by a lackluster companion app experience. Wearables for kids are becoming more and more common, which why I wanted to do an Xplora X5 Play review. This device is more than just another wearable; it's also a phone. This opens up more possibilities as well as problems for families.

Xplora is a brand based in Norway and has been making very popular devices for children in Europe for years, but the X5 Play is the first to make it to the United States.

It achieves these goals for the most part but misses mostly on some others. Xplora X5 Play review: Pricin

The company made a bit of a course correction on the lower and mid-range with its Nord line, but after seeing the success of phones like the Google Pixel 5 , Samsung Galaxy S20 FE , OnePlus is looking to regain its position
