I need some advice, and the amount of marketing spam had made sorting the wheat from the chaff annoyingly difficult. Hopefully you can help.
I’ve a young daughter, who uses an old tablet of mine to watch netflix etc. unfortunately, it was old in the tooth when she was born, and it’s now become extremely annoying to use.
She currently has a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016). The size (10") works well, but it’s gotten slow as sin, and only has 16Gb of internal memory.
Preferences wise:
-
10" screen (±2")
-
64Gb+ storage.
-
Long expected lifespan (inc security updates).
-
Headphone socket (adapters are asking to get broken, Bluetooth go flat)
-
Decent WiFi (more than just 2.4Ghz).
-
USB C charging preferred.
-
Wireless charging would be very helpful but not required.
-
Lower budget preferred (£200 range).
What would people recommend?
Not a current model but seeing as you don’t have many suggestions yet, my kid has a Samsung Galaxy A 10.1 from 2019, I think we bought it 2020 or so, still running pretty great.
Video watching, games, and we got a big chunky case with handles for it. Using the standard family link in combination with a custom launcher to modify the interface and lock out some things and set screen time and so on.
6" screen is likely too small. Her current 10" seems to be the right balance for us. I also suspect a 5 year old design will soon have the same issues we currently have. Ditto for the 32Gb internal storage.
Appreciate the idea though. Thanks.
The Galaxy A 10.1 is a 10.1" tablet.
As the other commenter said, its 10 inch. Also, like I said, we got it 4 years ago, I don’t see any performance issues with it. Maybe my kid does not play super high detail 3D games, but all the games on it work fine.
As for the 32gb, I think it has an SD card slot? But not sure, we don’t use it.
