Inexpensive tablet for a child: recommendations

Prices for tablets in the 2019 year are simply pleasing to the eye. Starting with 10 $, sellers offer beautiful and functional mobile devices. True, they are silent about the shortcomings. Our task: to help choose a cheap tablet for a child who will last at least 3 years and not cause trouble in work.

 

 

Watching videos from Youtube, for such a device is a priority. Plus games. And not desktop, but modern "rpg" and "shooter". All the rest of the functionality is a nice addition. After all, children are not interested in sitting on social networks, working with office applications, or taking selfies.

Inexpensive tablet for a child: technical requirements

To work with the Youtube site, or rather, to decode the video, you need a powerful processor. Modern tablets are equipped with 8 cores, and you need to focus on them. For tablets with RAM less than 4 GB, it’s better not to watch. The operating environment eats up almost half of the resources. And to run any game you need at least 1 gigabytes. Given the colorful interface and useful widgets, memory is consumed quickly and seamlessly.

 

 

Permanent memory (Flash) is responsible for storing installed games and programs. Again, the operating environment “selects” resources for its files. Therefore, you need to focus on a minimum of 32GB. The larger the amount of read-only memory, the more expensive the tablet. An alternative is to expand the resource with a memory card, under which the mobile device must have an appropriate connector.

Tablet Selection: Brands

Manufacturers of low-cost Chinese devices are attractive at a price. But, the tablets collected from cheap materials are not practical in operation:

 

• Poor quality screen. In bright light, a flaw is detected with the naked eye. Given the sticker of the protective film, parents simply put the child’s eyesight on.
• Bad battery. The problem is detected after 3-6 months of operation. The battery charges quickly and loses charge in less than an hour. The result - games and watching cartoons only indoors, at an electrical outlet. Installing a new battery will improve the situation for the coming 3-6 months.
• Strange work of communications. Cheap Chinese tablets constantly lose their connection to Wi-Fi or 3 / 4G networks.

When choosing manufacturers, if you want to buy a high-quality and inexpensive tablet for a child, immediately exclude the brands: CUBE, MYTAB, eSTAR, Irbis, Digma, Prestigio, Archos and other names that you have never heard of before.

 

 

Yes, mobile equipment of famous manufacturers is more expensive. But the tablet is guaranteed to work without failures for at least 3 years. Brands: Huawei, Lenovo, Samsung, ASUS, Xiaomi, Dell, Acer, ZTE - the right choice. The selection of the diagonal of the screen does not affect the functionality, but try to buy a convenient and lightweight tablet on which it is comfortable to play and watch cartoons.
