Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids - Samsung's in the Mood to Play? - Indiatimes.com

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids

Mobiles and tablets have replaced toys in this modern era. While there are still concerns over the free use of such gadgets by children, they often prove to be strong educational tools. There are multiple smartphone and tablet applications in the market and there are companies which also design tablets specifically keeping kids' needs in mind.

Samsung is perhaps the first international player which has forayed into this segment. By announcing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids, Samsung has entered a so far untouched segment.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is aimed at the young audience and Samsung has tried their best to make the device more appealing and bright. The smartphone maker has done away with the staid blacks and whites and instead, the tablet comes in a bright yellow colour! A definite change for sure. There's not much change in design and the tablet comes with the hardware button at the bottom and two capacitive buttons next to the hardware key. We wish Samsung had added a few more colour options as owning a bright, sunshine yellow tablet might not exactly be every kid's deepest wish.

On the specifications front, Samsung has not bundled the tablet with some high-end specs but neither is the little gadget an entry level device.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Kids comes with a 7-inch WSVGA TFT display with a pixel resolution of 1024x600 pixels. While the resolution is not that great, it should be adequate for kids with all the bright colours and apps to fill up the screen. The tablet runs on Android Jelly Bean 4.1. That's a slightly older version, and we doubt more updates will be seeded to the device but that's definitely better than sticking to ICS or earlier versions.
