HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition first sale begins today, September 24, in the Philippines. This cool gadget is designed with children’s education and healthy development in mind. Available in an 8-inch variant for only PHP 8,999, this latest addition is specifically designed for children aged 3-8. They offer everything a child loves, including an adorable Kids Case, stylus pen, and the Kids Corner default app that is pre-loaded with child-friendly content.

Child-friendly design

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition comes with a beautiful Kids Case made from environmentally safe silicone, offering all-round protection for both the device and your child. Consisting of a blue shell and cute green grips, it is comfortable and enjoyable to hold for small hands. The tablets also feature curved backs, giving them a delicate and rounded grip.

Ultra-slim bezels result in an immersive visual experience, with a bright blue stylus pen to match your child’s inquisitive mind. The stylus pen offers a more interactive experience for kids by enabling them to draw finer pictures on the tablet, as well as to enjoy themselves to the fullest when playing touchscreen games. Both the Kids Case and the stylus pen meet the European Standards on the Safety of Toys and pass the Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS), so parents can confidently allow their children to enjoy the accessories.

Parental Assistant and Safety Features

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition boasts numerous safety features, giving parents the ultimate peace of mind. Parents can manage time spent, apps used, and other viewable content on Kids Corner, allowing them to set multiple designated time limit intervals throughout the day. For example, parents can set it so that their child can use the tablet for a maximum of 20 minutes after school between 5pm to 6pm, or after dinner between 7pm and 9pm. They can also apply different settings for the weekday versus the weekend, so that the tablet brings the perfect balance between study and play. In Kid’s Profile, parents can also gain access to their children’s usage records, allowing them to log their children’s usage time and see the apps used over any given period.

Multi-layered eye protection

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition leverages the power of technology to protect children’s eyesight. A built-in color adjustment module intelligently adjusts the content on the display, offering a discrete eye protection mode. With help from an ambient light sensor, the tablet also enables multi-layered eye protection for your child’s eyes.

Huawei tablets are equipped with a built-in gravity sensor that can determine whether the user is lying flat, with prompts to encourage them to adjust their posture accordingly. There is even an algorithm that detects when the tablet is shaking (such as when the user is using the tablet while walking or in a car), which can remind your child to use it in a stable state, therefore developing better eye habits. Furthermore, when eBook mode is enabled, the tablet automatically adjusts the contrast, brightness, sharpness, saturation, colour temperature, grayscale and other parameters on the display to offer a quality reading experience that closely resembles that of reading a physical book. The Bumpy Road Alerts, Posture Alerts, eBook mode and more can all be toggled on and off in Kids Corner.

Kids Corner packed with Rich Educational Content

The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition comes pre-installed with a wealth of rich educational content, making it the perfect tablet companion for children as they grow. Kids Corner was specifically created to reassure parents that their kids will be safe while using the tablet. Kids Corner is like a treasure chest that allows children to record funny and interesting moments, draw their imagination on a canvas and record the stories and jokes they tell. Kids Corner supports Kids Painting, Recorder, Camera, and other features, offering a reliable and secure platform for kids to learn and play.

For Kids Corner, Huawei has partnered with Azoomee and BabyBus, two of the leading educational developers creating apps for children. The HUAWEI MatePad T8 Kids Edition, therefore, comes with a free three-month membership to Baby Panda World, and a free one-year membership to Azoomee. With a constant stream of updated content, these apps allow children to keep learning, and have fun while doing it!
