Okay so I got this purple tablet for my niece's 4th birthday and here's the real tea ☕
First impression? ADORABLE! The color is vibrant, it fits tiny hands perfectly, and the preloaded iwawa app had her squealing over cartoon animals within minutes. Major win for keeping her off my phone during meals.
BUT... that included case? Total joke. It's thinner than tissue paper - I immediately ordered a $15 shockproof one from Amazon. Also heads up: setup took FOREVER with weird Google account errors (pro tip: do this before handing to kid).
The good stuff? Battery lasts through long car rides, YouTube Kids works flawlessly, and the parental controls actually work. My sister loves that it doesn't feel like a 'dumbed down' tablet.
The bad? After 3 months the volume buttons stopped working consistently. Not gonna lie - performance gets sluggish when too many apps are open. Would I buy again? Maybe on sale... but only if buying a proper case with it!
