The Modio M796 Kids Tablet is now available at Mascom International for KSh 6,700, pairing a 7-inch IPS touchscreen with 4GB RAM, 256GB internal storage, and a 4,000mAh battery. This child-focused Android tablet ships with a SIM slot for 4G data, a front camera for video calls, and microSD expansion for extra space. You can see and test the Modio M796 at our store inside Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD. At KSh 6,700, the Modio M796 gives Kenyan families a low-cost route into digital learning without spending smartphone money on a young child.
The Modio M796 is built for parents who want a dedicated screen for their children instead of handing over a personal phone. It suits primary school learners following the CBC curriculum, homeschooling households, and young kids doing early reading, counting, and drawing apps. Many parents in Nairobi and upcountry towns face the same problem: children keep grabbing the family phone during study time or long matatu trips. The Modio M796 solves that by giving each child their own tablet loaded with lessons, cartoons, and offline content, keeping the parent's phone free.
At Mascom International, we stock the Modio M796 because affordable kids' tablets sell fast across Kenya's growing home-learning market. Parents from Nairobi, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, and Machakos order this tablet daily for birthdays, end-of-term rewards, and back-to-school gifts. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us the 256GB storage and long battery make it easy to load a full library of learning apps and videos. Visit our Kimathi Street shop to handle the Modio M796 first, or order for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of Kenya's 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Modio M796
Is the Modio M796 a good tablet for kids in Kenya?
Yes. The Modio M796 is a purpose-built children's tablet priced at KSh 6,700, so it targets young learners rather than adult productivity. Its 7-inch screen fits small hands, the 4,000mAh battery lasts through a school afternoon of videos, and 256GB storage holds hundreds of learning apps and offline cartoons. Parents can install reading, math, and drawing apps from an Android store, then set daily limits. For families wanting a first device that survives daily use without risking an expensive phone, it fits the budget well.
How much RAM and storage does the Modio M796 have?
The Modio M796 carries 4GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, with a microSD slot for more space.The 256GB storage is unusually large for this price, letting children keep offline lessons, e-books, music, and videos without needing constant internet. A microSD card adds even more room for movies during long trips or holidays.
Does the Modio M796 use a SIM card and connect to the internet?
Yes. The Modio M796 takes a SIM card and connects over 4G mobile data, so children can join online classes or video-call relatives without home Wi-Fi. It works with Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, and Telkom Kenya SIM cards It also connects to home or school Wi-Fi and pairs with Bluetooth headphones, letting a child watch or learn quietly on a shared matatu ride or in a busy household.
What can my child do with the Modio M796?
The Modio M796 runs a child-friendly version of Android, so it opens the door to learning apps, drawing tools, storybooks, cartoons, and simple games. Children following the CBC curriculum can use it for online lessons, homework research, and educational YouTube content. The front camera handles video calls with parents or grandparents. Because it holds 256GB, you can download a full term of offline lessons before travelling upcountry, keeping the child busy and learning even where mobile data is weak.
Can I control what my child sees on the Modio M796?
Yes. The Modio M796 ships with a kid-oriented Android setup that lets parents choose which apps a child can open and set screen-time limits. You install and arrange the apps yourself, so only approved content appears on the home screen. Parents across Nairobi tell us this control is the main reason they pick a dedicated kids' tablet over an old phone. Pair it with headphones and a protective case, and the tablet becomes a safe, self-contained learning corner for one child.
How long does the Modio M796 battery last?
The Modio M796 packs a 4,000mAh battery, enough for several hours of video, reading, or learning apps on a single charge. In practice, that covers a school-day study session or a long road trip from Nairobi to Mombasa without a recharge. Charging is done through the included USB cable and adapter. Because young children rarely push a screen as hard as adults, real usage often stretches across most of a day of casual reading and cartoons before needing power.
What makes the Modio M796 different from a cheap phone for my child?
A phone screen is small and personal; the Modio M796 gives a 7-inch display sized for children's eyes and hands. Its 256GB storage dwarfs most budget phones, so it holds far more offline learning content. The child-focused Android setup keeps distractions and adult apps away. Unlike handing over your own phone, the Modio M796 stays with the child, meaning your personal messages, banking apps, and M-Pesa stay private while your child learns and plays on a device that is entirely their own.
