Having its "Once Upon A" prefix named after "Once Upon A Deadpool" (2018), Once Upon A Smartphone is a version of smartphone watered down for kids. This is intended to be a Christmas gift rather than akcually being used as a functional tool, as kids are prone to asking for smartphone to Santa during Christmas even though they're still too young for smartphone.
Instead of a real phone, I got my little brother a Once Upon A Smartphone for Christmas—now he can pretend to text and play games without the screen time worries!
