TCL unveils 3 new TKEE tablets for kids at CES 2022

Alongside a lineup of affordable new Android tablets, TCL has also unveiled three new TKEE tablets at CES 2022 designed especially for children to both play and learn.

The three models include the TKEE MINI, MID, and MAX, all of which are designed from the ground up to meet the needs of active and inquisitive kids. An intuitive user interface engages children while keeping them focused on the task at hand, while a robust bumper case handles everyday bumps and drops.

Each tablet also includes the TKEE Pen, helping children to improve their writing and drawing skills, as well as TCL’s eye-safe screen technology to help prevent eye strain and other visual health problems.

The new tablets are also accompanied by TCL Kids, a companion child-friendly service that’s available in Google Play for all new TCL tablets, from the TKEE series to the new NXTPAPER 10s and the upcoming TCL BOOK 14 Go laptop.

TCL Kids provides a kid-friendly service that shares the core experience of the TKEE series tables, including a library of educational and entertainment content that includes over 20,000 videos, 400 storybooks, and 50 family-friendly apps. Parental monitoring tools help parents and guardians keep track of screen time, manage access to apps and websites, and even set health reminders to help kids improve their reading posture.

TCL Kids will be available to customers globally in Q2 2022 for $4 per month. TCL will also be offering a two-month free trial subscription in select regions.

Amazon launched a pair of new devices for its Fire Kids range at its fall event, including updated models of the Fire HD 10 Kids and Fire HD 10 Kids Pro. While there's little to write home about in terms of physical updates, these two new tablets have also been released alongside some new apps that make them great options to entertain the whole family, not just children.

The big draws here are the new apps and games on offer. Amazon's big, new drive involves implementing AI into its products, and these two Kids tablets are no exception. The new Music Maker app allows children to become composers by combining a number of different instruments and sound effects into their own composition, while being assisted by the app's AI.

CES 2023 happened this week, and it’s usually when we see a bunch of interesting new tech — like Withing’s new health tracker that you pee on, and L’Oreal’s eyebrow printer for your face.
