Today Amazon unveiled two tablets aimed at kids, available in 8.7-inch and 11-inch sizes. The 8.7-inch model offers 64GB of storage and up to 14 hours of video playback, while the 11-inch model features a 2.5K display and 8GB of RAM. Both versions run Android, ship with a kid-proof case, and include a year of Kids+ subscription featuring curated content from Disney, Nickelodeon, Lego, and Sesame Street.
After the free year, Kids+ costs $7.99 per month for Prime members or $8.99 for non-members. The tablets include the Amazon Kids Parent Dashboard for screen time and content filters, available as an iOS and Android app. Younger kids get a soft bumper case with characters like Paw Patrol and Barbie, while older kids receive a slim hard case.
An AI-powered "creative experience" called Storybuilder lets kids use their voice to create picture books and comic books. The tablets are available for pre-order now, shipping October 14 in the US, Mexico, Canada, and Japan, and October 19 in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. The 8-inch model starts at $229.99 and the 11-inch model starts at $329.99.
