Shortly after the launch of the Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Edition and Amazon Kindle Kids Edition, Samsung has announced its own tablet for kids too. Called the Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019), Samsung’s own has the same price as the standard version unlike Amazon whose Kids Edition tablets cost more.
The Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) is actually the Galaxy Tab A 8.0 which launched back in July with a bumper case slapped on and a free trial of Samsung Kids – Samsung’s library of fun and educational games, videos, and books for kids aged 3 to 12. It is just a 30-day free trial with subscription priced at $8/month or $60/year. Of course, you already know which subscription plan makes more sense.
Samsung Kids has games from Sesame Street, Dreamworks, PBS Kids, and National Geographic. There are tools for parents to set daily limits, monitor, and customize content for individual kids too.
Samsung has put a price tag of $150 on it, the same price as the regular version, and will begin shipping it on October 15.
You get a device with an 8-inch 1280 x 800 display, a Snapdragon 429 processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage which can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot.
It also has an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front-facing camera for video calls. There are stereo speakers, an audio jack, and a 5100mAh battery that charges via a MicroUSB port and said to provide up to 13 hours of battery life. The Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) runs Android 9 Pie out of the box and is only available in silver. Also, while there are four different colors available for the bumper case, Samsung doesn’t allow you to choose the one you want at checkout.
