Tablet for Kids

Oh I had to pay to get the screen fixed, cost me R700 which isn't bad, did take almost 2 months though as parts were scarce thanks to the lockdown, so he had it one month and CC had it 2 months, we've had it back now for the last month and he's a lot more cautious as this repair is coming out of his allowance.
 
My five year old has been using one of these:

since December last year.

Not a single problem with it. She plays games and uses it for youtube kids and netflix. Storage is a bit light, but it takes an sd card, so no problem.
It's Android 6 though? I mean that is over 5 years old, it's also only got 1GB of RAM. I'd try find that Dixon and pay a bit more.

Yeah, but it works great. Never skips a beat, and no lag or anything when she's using it. Also just runs a netflix app, whereas my fancy Samsung tablet won't and I had to hack it and modify an APK to get it to run netflix, so there's little things like that as well.

Edit, wait, I just checked it's actually a k3500 that I got at Game on special.

A friend got this for her 8yo for Xmas last year:


She said she was very impressed by it and said it is fast and responsive, even faster than her Samsung tablet.
I had a Galaxy Tab 2.0...never again. Replaced it with an iPad 3 years later and that was 4.5 years ago. As fast as ever when I got it.

This one?

I wonder if I should not get something like that. It is a 7 year old. I really don't think it is necessary for something fancy.

Can watch YouTube and Netflix.

Can it run Minecraft?

Lol at this though!

This a good deal? for R1400 ?

Apple iPad 3 32GB WiFi+3G (A1430)
 
Thanks. But I think the 1GB ram is going to be an issue. Although maybe it is better that way.
Yeah 1GB ram limits games, Minecraft does work on the Dixon as that was one of the requirements from my son :-), though his old phone he had only had 1GB and it did play an older version of Minecraft, but that phone seems to have disappeared after we had some contractors around. He's now using my old LG G4 and the wife's old Huawei P20 lite.

For R1400 that's fine for kids. It won't get any of the latest iPadOS 14 launches, but it'll work just fine. I'd get that for my kids.
 
Is this tablet okay for a 7 year old?


Looks the same as the Mecer but with a 5000ah battery. Both have Android 8. The rest of the specs the same.




What I like about the bubblegum is the plastic cover for some protection.
 
I got a Bubblegum Junior 10" running android 8 from Hi-Online walk in store for R2000. There is also one for R2500 with 2GB ram and bigger battery, but doesn't come with the silicone case.

Ouch, it may not work very well, 1GB of RAM in 2020.
 
OKay an update. It is too slow, lol!! Videos are fine but not simple games. So I am going to try the 2GB ram one, otherwise I must maybe just get a phone.
Honestly, a phone would probably be a better option, like a Redmi 9c or something. Cause 1GB of RAM is dooooooog slow now and I know this as my middle niece still has one.
