I need some advice, and the amount of marketing spam had made sorting the wheat from the chaff annoyingly difficult. Hopefully you can help.

I’ve a young daughter, who uses an old tablet of mine to watch netflix etc. unfortunately, it was old in the tooth when she was born, and it’s now become extremely annoying to use.

She currently has a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016). The size (10") works well, but it’s gotten slow as sin, and only has 16Gb of internal memory.

Preferences wise:

  • 10" screen (±2")

  • 64Gb+ storage.

  • Long expected lifespan (inc security updates).

  • Headphone socket (adapters are asking to get broken, Bluetooth go flat)

  • Decent WiFi (more than just 2.4Ghz).

  • USB C charging preferred.

  • Wireless charging would be very helpful but not required.

  • Lower budget preferred (£200 range).

What would people recommend?

    Google Pixel Tablet with GrapheneOS.

    AOSP may completely suck for Tablet UI, but afaik it has DRM support and GrapheneOS is simply the only Android I can really recommend.

    The rest is just spying, on Kids, which is sick as fuck.

        Oh, okay.

        But a low end tablet with updates longer than like 2 years that you can ethically give to a child… is a bit more expensive.

        Maybe a used Pixel tablet is an option. People may be disappointed, its a pretty new thing, so I think the used market is big.
