Samsung Galaxy Tab A8
Full Android access with Google Play — the best non-Amazon option
The Galaxy Tab A8 is the best option for families in the Android ecosystem who want Google Play access without the Apple price tag. Samsung Kids mode provides a reasonably controlled environment, and the full Google Play Store means access to every educational app available. Less turnkey than the Fire HD but more flexible for older kids.

- Samsung Kids mode provides a clean, kid-friendly interface with parental controls
- Sharp 10.5-inch display at a competitive price
