Kids Tablet recommendations.
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).

I'd look at the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+

That looks like a good option. Thanks!
I had completely missed that one.
The current tablet is as fast I as I can make it. I've also disabled, and uninstalled all I can, to free up space. 16Gb doesn't go far, when most streaming services don't allow installing or buffering to an SD card.
It's also not had a security update since 2020.
Samsung Galaxy Tab A 2016
Regarding the security update situation you could try using LineageOS on it - but I imagine that would be for your use, not your daughters.
