The Android 16-powered tablet is equipped with a Helio G99 octa-core processor and features an 8.68-inch IPS display with a 1340×800 pixel resolution. It comes with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage, allowing users to store essential applications and educational content. The device is powered by a 6,000 mAh lithium-ion battery, ensuring long-term power backup.
EduTab supports 4G networks and fast Wi-Fi for smooth internet browsing, and includes a USB 2.0 Type-C port for connectivity. For online classes, it is fitted with a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front camera.
Walton Computer Products Chief Business Officer, Touhidur Rahman Rad, said EduTab has been designed to support students of all ages, including children.
'Live classes, guided practice, animated lessons, and AI-powered smart support have been integrated into a single device. EduTab has been developed after years of observing the academic pressures, usage patterns, and constraints faced by students under Bangladesh's national curriculum,' he said.
Digital learning becomes more effective when software, hardware, and teaching practices are combined in a single ecosystem, he added, noting that such devices are already widely used in many countries.
