The T-Mobile exclusive Alcatel 3T 8 is just another budget tablet with enough of a punch to act as a device for the kids, although it is not designed specifically for them. This 8-inch slate runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and is the first one to support T-Mobile's Extended Range LTE 600 MHz spectrum.

T-Mobile customers looking for an affordable Android slate for media streaming — and maybe some games for the kids as well — can grab the US$150 Alcatel 3T 8, but some might want to go with the other payment choice that involves US$6 down and 24 monthly payments of US$6 each.

The Alcatel 3T 8 runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box and has rather modest specs and features: an unspecified 1.5 GHz quad-core processor, 2 GB of memory, an unknown amount of internal storage — probably 16 GB, support for fast streaming via T-Mobile's 600 MHz Extended Range LTE, 5 MP cameras on both sides, as well as a 4,080 mAh battery that can provide up to 8.5 hours of streaming over WiFi and 7 hours on 4G LTE. 

In addition to the above, we should also mention the Eye Care mode that reduces the amount of blue light generated by the display and can help protect your kid's eyes. However, this slate does not feature a rugged design so you might not want this one for young children who often drop gadgets by mistake or just to test their resistance to impact.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
