Verdict Good value considering that you get a tablet, tough case, two-year worry free guarantee and a year’s subscription to Amazon Kids+, the Amazon Fire 7 Kids (2022) is a fun and engaging tablet for younger children. It’s extremely small, although that can be an advantage: this tablet is easier for a child to put […]
The Sony Xperia 10 IV’s class-leading battery life and unusually rugged chops are great, but they end up overshadowed by the flaky camera software, the relatively weak processor and — a big deal to some — the 60Hz screen. Pros Excellent battery life IP68 water resistance Tough Gorilla Glass Victus display protection Cons Inconsistent cameras Slow […]
