    How are these vs iPads for a toddler distraction device on an airplane?
    I’m entirely iOS ecosystem currently. Only planned for use 3-4 times a year on plane flights or similar where distraction can’t involve playing outside etc.
    I know iPads need minimum 64gb but androids are probably easily expandable I guess?

    • winnytp on 11/12/2022 - 12:13

      For kids, this would be a good (cheaper) alternative to iPad. Can watch YouTube, play games, etc. Screen isn’t as good though, and the processor is much slower. I’d say iPad still provides a better overall experience, but if you want to spend less, the Samsung tablet will get you by without many issues. I don’t think kids will really care or notice.

      Source: I’ve owned both tablets.

      The benefit of Android is that theres a bit more flexibility. Its easier to upload videos then use an app to watch them.

      Probably also easier playing videos off an external drive too.

      Honest question, why would a tablet possibly not be good for kids because its not an ipad? If the size not an issue go for it

      • cynicor on 11/12/2022 - 12:52

        iPads are really simple- hard to break anything or screw up settings.
        I remember my android phone having a lot more stuff that I never took the time to figure out.

        I guess it seems obvious but just wanted to check.
        Also maybe the availability of toddler games is lower etc.

    • revmacca on 11/12/2022 - 12:50

      I’d recommend an older iPad mini, I use a mini 2 with the kids main issue with older models is lack of Apple Arcade
      Note the Mini 4 is now unsupported? I think but has iOS15 I think.

    • PhilToinby on 11/12/2022 - 13:02

      In your case, stick with iOS, easier to manage and definitely better usability for kids. A lot of primary schools have iPad programs for this reason, starting in Prep. You can ask your local school about it - might save you a few hundred $ in a couple of years

      • cynicor on 11/12/2022 - 13:16

        I should add, we bought our eldest son a new iPad when he was in Grade 1. It's still going strong 5 years later and has had a LOT of use. I am an android person, but iPads are annoyingly good for kids and grandparents

              I suggest you look up in a dictionary the meaning of entitlement, as it wasnt questions of rights to anything here

              Unfortunately, i am not one of those argumentative types on the internet so i wont engage about human history, the definition of prosperous. so again yeah i dont think tablets are that much of a big deal and more young people arent as bad as you implied

        I bet they'll say you can't use the gift code for some reason. Don't trust Harvey Norman store.

        These gift cards are a con. Harvey Norman stock is overpriced by the amount of the gifts cards anyway.

        Don’t buy from Harvey Norman just for gift cards. If you can get a better deal elsewhere do that.

        Also gift cards you receive are in store only amd you can't check the GC balance online. Well mine is like this.

        • mckayver on 11/12/2022 - 17:52

        Something like https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/711651 would be much better, or the recent S6 Lite (2022) deal.

        It is very laggy and slow, so using it for kids to watch youtube might be okay, but it is a frustrating experience for anything else.

        The screen has a green tint which you can't fix by fiddling with the setting and looks awful.

        • DarwinBoy on 12/12/2022 - 10:40

          I have seen those deals and have pondered them.
          I ended up getting 2 of the optus samsung tablets for my boys. They play minecraft and youtube without issue.
          Ive just downloaded the apps for them and it seemed fine while i was setting them up. Looked good but i only had an old Samsung and ipad tablet to compare to.

          • aveeno bb on 12/12/2022 - 10:48

            @DarwinBoy: Fair enough. for kids, def don't need anything fanciers, esp if you got them on a good deal.

  • nGu on 12/12/2022 - 00:18

    I kick myself everyday for not finding out about that $150 optus deal when it was running. Bought a slightly slower tablet for $159 from ali months later. Ughh…
