Quick Take
Overall Score: 6.6/10
The Dragon Touch Y88X Pro competes on price at $80. You get an Android tablet, kid-proof case, and some pre-installed apps. The problem is everything else: basic parental controls, slow performance, and a small brand with limited support.
The Verdict: The low price is tempting, but Fire HD 8 Kids at $150 (often on sale for $100) delivers dramatically better parental controls and value.
Safety Analysis
Basic Parental Controls
KIDOZ kids mode provides:
- App whitelisting
- Time limits
- Website filtering
- Basic usage reports
Missing compared to Amazon:
- No remote management from phone
- No educational goals
- No content curation
- No worry-free replacement
Privacy Concerns
Dragon Touch is a smaller brand with less transparency about data practices. Android with Google Play means Google data collection applies.
Performance
- Quad-core processor with 2GB RAM
- 8-inch 1280x800 display
- 32GB storage (expandable)
- Adequate for basic apps, slow for games
Value Analysis
Cost: $80
Compare to Fire HD 8 Kids at $150 (often $100 on sale):

The $20-70 savings is not worth the downgrades.
