Tablets are not meant for adults only, and Samsung has taken the lead yet again by making the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) available in the US. Sporting a kid-friendly packaging and the right kind of software to go along with the device, it will definitely help keep your child occupied for hours on end as you attend to other matters. 

In terms of hardware, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) will come with an 8-inch TFT display with 1280 x 800 pixels resolution. This is definitely a far cry from the kind of resolution that the average, smaller smartphone packs, but it should be more than good enough for young children. 

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) will not win any benchmark tests at all. Far from it actually, as it runs on the entry-level Snapdragon 429 chipset from Qualcomm and sports a measly 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory right out of the box. Forget about multiple camera configurations with this tablet, where a 2MP front-facing shooter will keep the 8MP camera at the back company. 

Just in case the internal memory is not enough, there is always a microSD memory card slot that bumps up the total amount of storage space by another 512GB. Android 9.0 Pie is the operating system of choice, cementing the tablet's compatibility with the latest software and updates for at least a couple of years. 

As for battery life, the Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition's 5,100 mAh power cell has been rated by Samsung to deliver up to 13 hours of non-stop usage. It remains to be seen whether the quoted battery life lives up to the claim in real world usage, but it would not be too far off the mark to say that you will have to charge this perhaps once every couple of days, taking into consideration an estimated 6 hours of "digital babysitting" the Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition does on your behalf daily. 

As for the software that ships with this tablet, it will not differ too much from other Samsung Kids Edition tablets in the past, delivering kid-friendly content and a dedicated space for using approved apps, resulting in a safe digital environment. Parents can make use of the time limit setting in order to control usage, as well as use it outside of the kids' space as and when required.

The asking price of US$150 for the Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) includes a bumper case for added safety and will arrive in a wide range of colors although the tablet itself will be available only in silver. 

Have you ever noticed how little children love following their parents around, mimicking them in different ways? Perhaps they might be hankering after an iPad, but due to budgetary constraints (in addition to parents knowing best), perhaps the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) would be a far more suitable and longer lasting purchase. After all, it does seem to be catered for the younger ones in terms of durability which will go a long way in ensuring its longevity through all the potential knocks and drops. 

It would definitely bring a smile to your child's face when he/she unwraps the Samsung Galaxy Tab A Kids Edition (2019) under the Christmas tree at the end of the year. While it is not the latest available hardware, it has enough processing muscle underneath the hood to handle just about everything your little one enjoys on a tablet.
