Huawei MatePad T8 Meets Children’s Needs

The COVID-19 lockdown in South Africa has led many people including children to adapt to digital technologies at an exceedingly rapid rate.

Colouring-in books have now been replaced by tablets, which can be used as a platform to create fun digital illustrations, and the interactive face-to-face classes with teachers have morphed into engaging online lessons.

While computers may be pricey, tablets are more affordable, but they need to adhere to a variety of criteria in order to truly benefit today’s youth, as well as their families.

Devices need to be durable, light, powerful, and of course – fun.

The new Huawei MatePad T8 is a device that meets all of these requirements, as it is a feature-packed tablet that comes in a lightweight design.

It has a massive screen-to-body ratio of over 80 percent and comes in a streamlined metal back featuring a sandblasted finish an ergonomic curved design to ensure a comfortable hold, even over long periods of use.

Powered by an octa-core chipset and housing a large 5100 mAh battery, the Huawei MatePad T8 provides everything your kids need for hours of uninterrupted entertainment and education.

The Huawei MatePad T8 features the built in Kids Corner, a virtual playground that children can explore without adult supervision. The platform not only aims to create an exclusive learning and entertainment space for children, but also ensures that parents can easily monitor their child’s tablet usage – without having to hover over them 24/7.

With the Huawei MatePad T8, you can simply open Parental Controls in Kids Corner to find the four control modules – eye protection, time management, app management, and content management.

You can also establish what apps and media are accessible at different times, which can be used effectively to help ease children into a daily routine. To promote healthy device usage, the Kids Corner includes four eye protection modes – blue light filter, posture alerts, bumpy road alerts, and eBook – to provide a more comfortable user experience.

Kids Corner also has posture alerts that can identify when the user is lying still for too long and alert them to move and correct their posture.

The Huawei MatePad T8 is priced at R2,999 and is currently available on Huawei’s online commerce store and from 1 July it will be available at major mobile operators and retailers.
