With the Korona-ka, online waves are rushing into children's lives. For example, school events such as parent-teacher associations and athletic meet are distributed online, and homework using online tools comes out. Although tablets and PCs are rented from the school, the problem is when using them for non-school errands. Online learning using smartphones and tablets is increasing in cram schools and lessons. Maybe some households are considering introducing it, wondering if it would be better for children to have their own tablets. So, this time, I would like to introduce a tablet recommended for children.
Homework is handed over on the WEB, and there is an online drill as a self-study tool. Programming classes are also compulsory, and workshops and events are held here and there on long vacations and holidays.
In addition, "I want to show the video while waiting at the hospital" "I want to show the video for review delivered in the English classroom to the child" "I want to watch the video on the big screen when practicing dance" At such times, many households are keenly aware that they may need a tablet exclusively for children. However, when considering the introduction of a tablet, the screen size and model options make it annoying. .. "The bigger the screen, the easier it is to see?" "Is it possible to use a model with high specifications for a long time?"
When choosing a tablet for children, you need a slightly different perspective than that used by adults. First, I narrowed down the points.

Also, some households may not have an internet connection. There is Wi-Fi in the school, but you can't use the internet environment at home. In such a case, if you have a tablet that can communicate with mobile, you do not need to subscribe to the internet line again. When I think about it, I wonder if a "tablet" that can use a Bluetooth keyboard, can input with a pen touch, is much cheaper than a laptop computer, and has a mobile communication function is the best solution.
IIJmio, which is familiar with cheap SIM this time, as a tablet that clears the conditions such as "easy to watch videos", "the main body is not too big", "it can be used comfortably as it is", which is nice to have on a child's tablet I tried using the Android OS-equipped tablet terminal "ATab-1" that I started handling in).
First of all, I tried watching the video. There are more opportunities for online learning, so I'm worried about how easy it is to use. You can see that the child jumps well and is easy to use. The app and the internet can be viewed smoothly, and the audio is loud enough. When studying English conversation pronunciation practice or dance practice online at home, I feel the disadvantage that the sound and screen are small with a smartphone. However, if there is this screen and loudness, it is perfect.
Next is the size. The 10.1-inch FHD display, which is about the same size as a notebook used at school, fits comfortably in the small hands of children. Of course, it can be put in a small backpack for children, so it can be used for cram schools and lessons.
The terminal has a 3.5mm earphone jack and USB Type-C. You may also use headphones when you are concerned about the sound, such as when using it in a hospital waiting room or on a train. The number of smartphones that don't have a 3.5mm earphone jack is increasing, so I'm happy with it.
Children also like to take pictures and edit them with a processing app. One of the great things about tablets is that you can easily play with the camera. Children will be happy if they can take a quick shot when they go on a trip or play and scribble on the photo and save it! MicroSD supports up to 128GB, so even if you take a lot of images and videos I think I can play.
It is a way to use a tablet that tends to be biased toward watching videos, but with this size and specifications, it seems that you can experience various ways of enjoying it.
So, as a parent, I'm most interested in how to use it. The CPU installed in the ATab-1 is equipped with Snapdragon ™ 662, which is also used in smartphones such as the popular OPPO A73, and its operation is stable. There is absolutely no problem for children to study online or with an online drill. Of course, it seems to be very useful when you make a video call while showing your face to your grandpa and grandma.
And the price is worrisome, but if you sign up with IIJmio, it will be 38,280 yen / tax included (in the case of a one-time charge. If you divide 24 times, it will be 1,606 yen / tax included). It's very reasonable.
Now, when the topic of monetary amount comes up, the question of how much is the monthly communication charge? This is a nice price of 2GB 748 yen (tax included / data communication only) for IIJmio's giga plan.
By the way, IIJmio's Gigaplan has a monthly data capacity of 2, 4, 8, 15, and 20GB, and you can choose SIM functions such as voice, SMS, data, and eSIM according to the terminal and usage, so you can use it. The feature is that you can choose a suitable plan.
In addition, with the Giga Plan, you can use the data sharing and gift functions that allow you to share the unused Giga with your family (within the same contract). If you switch with your parent's smartphone, you can get the tablet at a low price and use the data without waste.
Reliable cost performance, stable operation, specifications that allow you to do various things, a main body that has a larger screen than a smartphone and is lighter than a PC ... Considering the good balance of these, surprisingly it will be a perfect one for children. is.
In the new normal era, where more and more real and online hybrids are required, if you want to prepare a dedicated tablet for children, you can definitely say that the ATab-1 is the "best one". prize.
Yes Yes. One last. I remember that IIJmio, a long-established store of cheap SIM, is a cheap SIM brand that provides household-friendly services and products, even if I forgot that "Is a dedicated tablet early for my child?" I want to keep it. Because there is a "Gigaplan" where you can buy ATab-1 with good cost performance and share the amount of data with your family. If you use IIJmio with your family, you will definitely be able to live a good life.
