It has a seven inch screen, three megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front camera and 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded by 32GB with a microSD card.

It will come pre-loaded with educational, gaming, entertainment and e-book applications and with the Application Manager, parents can select the apps they want their children to have access to.

The Time Management feature allows parents to set specific time period for use. When the designated time is reached, a password protected lock screen will appear, requiring a parent to enter a password and unlock the device.

Samsung Electronics UK and Ireland vice president of IT and mobile division Simon Stanford said: “We’re seeing technology become ever more popular with children, and wanted to create a tablet that provides kids with interactive and educational content with the added benefit of giving parents control over their children’s tab use.

“Parents played a huge part in the design process, and as a result the Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is a unique product that is both a fun and exciting piece of technology for kids to use and a device that parents can trust.”
