Summary
Lenovo’s new AI Student Phone costs 299 yuan ($44) and strips out games, browsers and social media to target students needing a tightly controlled device.
A physical AI button drives the core pitch: children can ask homework and general-knowledge questions, while preloaded math and English materials provide offline study support without open internet access.
Parents get real-time GPS tracking, geofencing alerts and remote controls through a companion app, including unknown-caller blocking, scheduled power on/off and a classroom mode limited to time display and SOS calls.
The 1.83-inch 4G handset also supports handwriting input, HD voice and video calls, and QR-code payments with spending limits, underscoring Lenovo’s push to position it as a supervised everyday school device.
