Snap worksheets, watch lesson videos and finish assignments after class on one compact Android device.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
Modio M730 sells for KSh 7,000 at Mascom International, brand new and sealed, with a 7-inch HD screen, an 8MP camera, a quad-core processor, 256GB virtual storage and 6GB virtual RAM. The memory figures are virtual, meaning the tablet's software shows numbers larger than its physical chips, so expect less real space and working memory. The Modio M730 runs Android and suits a pupil's homework and video time. You will find it on display at our first-floor shop in the Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, in Blue.
Built for primary pupils across Kenya and the parents who check their homework, the Modio M730 handles the daily routine of evening assignments. Teachers now share worksheets, voice notes and video links in class WhatsApp groups, and a child often waits for a parent's phone to see them. With the Modio M730, the child opens the link, watches the lesson on YouTube Kids or YouTube, and photographs the finished page with the 8MP camera to send back. Parents get their phones back, and pupils doing competency-based curriculum projects keep their work in one place.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell these tablets on memory numbers they never explain, Mascom International shows you the real free space in the settings before you pay. At Mascom International, we're seeing parents from Rongai to Ruaka choose a homework tablet at this price instead of a second phone, because the screen is bigger for reading worksheets and the cost is lower than most entry phones. Come in to try the camera on a printed page, pay with Lipa na M-Pesa or cash, or order the Modio M730 on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery in any county.
Common Questions About the Modio M730
How much does the Modio M730 6GB 256GB cost in Kenya?
The Modio M730 costs KSh 7,000 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That covers the tablet with its manufacturer-supplied charging accessories, a 12-month warranty, and pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. The Modio M128 in the same batch costs KSh 800 more, at KSh 7,800, with the same 6GB and 256GB virtual figures. For a homework tablet with an 8MP camera, the Modio M730 at KSh 7,000 keeps the spend lower. You can pay by Lipa na M-Pesa or cash in store, or on delivery.
Is the 256GB on the Modio M730 actual physical storage?
No, the 256GB on the Modio M730 is virtual storage, and the physical capacity inside is smaller. Its 6GB virtual RAM works the same way, using part of the storage as slower stand-in working memory. Ask us on WhatsApp to check the usable space on the unit before buying. The supplier lists microSD expansion for this model, and a memory card adds real, physical space for downloaded lessons and homework photos. Memory cards are sold separately at Mascom International, and we check the tablet reads one before you leave.
Can my child photograph homework with the Modio M730 camera?
Yes, the Modio M730 has an 8MP camera that captures a clear photo of a worksheet or exercise book page in good light. Lay the page flat near a window, hold the tablet straight above it, and tap the screen to focus before shooting. The photo then goes to the teacher through WhatsApp or Google Classroom. For pages in pencil, daylight works far better than a single bulb, because faint writing fades in dim photos.
Is the Modio M730 good for YouTube Kids and offline downloads?
Yes, the Modio M730 runs YouTube Kids for cartoons and lesson videos over Wi-Fi. YouTube Premium and some learning apps allow offline downloads, so a child can watch on the road without data. Because the 256GB storage is virtual, keep downloads few or save them to a microSD card. Use the YouTube Kids parent settings to choose an age group and set a timer, so video time does not take over homework time. Agree on a rule early, such as videos only after the day's assignment is photographed and sent.
Modio M730 or G-Tab P9: which is better for schoolwork?
The Modio M730 wins on price, while the G-Tab P9 wins on real memory. The G-Tab P9 costs KSh 13,700 at Mascom International, KSh 6,700 more, and has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage that are physical, not virtual. That means its stated space is closer to what you can actually use. Choose the Modio M730 for a primary pupil's homework and videos on a tight budget. Choose the G-Tab P9 for an older student who stores many files and apps.
How does the Modio M730 cope with KPLC power cuts during homework time?
The Modio M730 keeps working on battery during a KPLC power cut, but your home Wi-Fi router usually goes off with the power. Plan for that by downloading lesson videos and worksheets while the internet is on. Charge the tablet fully each evening before homework starts. A basic power bank keeps it running through longer outages, and dimming the screen stretches the battery further. A phone hotspot on Safaricom or Airtel data can cover urgent uploads.
Does the Modio M730 take a SIM card?
SIM support on the Modio M730 is not confirmed in the supplier specifications we hold, so treat it as a Wi-Fi tablet until we check your unit. Message us on WhatsApp and we will look at the SIM tray and settings for you. A Safaricom or Airtel data line only helps if the slot exists. If your child needs to make calls on the tablet, the Modio M750 lists dual SIM calling at the same KSh 7,000. For homework at home, Wi-Fi covers everything the Modio M730 is meant to do.
Who should buy the Modio M730 and who should skip it?
Buy the Modio M730 if your child needs a cheap tablet for homework photos, lesson videos and YouTube Kids at home. Skip it if your child plays heavy games, types long essays, or needs lots of internal storage for files. For physical storage and more headroom, the G-Tab T13 with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage costs KSh 16,200 at Mascom International. A child who must phone a parent from school is better served by the Modio M750.
Technical Specifications
Display
- 7-inch HD screen — HD means a sharper picture than basic budget panels, so worksheet text and video look clearer.
- Exact resolution not published — Modio lists the panel as HD without a pixel count, which is fine for reading and video.
- Pocket-friendly size — fits a school bag pocket and stays light enough for a pupil to hold during a lesson video.
- Good for reading worksheets — zoom in with two fingers to read small print in photos sent by teachers.
- Brightness controls — lower the screen at night for comfortable viewing during evening homework and a longer-lasting battery.
Processor and Software
- Quad-core processor — four processing units share the work, which suits homework apps, video and browsing.
- Chip name not published — Modio does not name the chip, so expect entry-level performance for light tasks.
- Android operating system — runs standard Android apps; ask us on WhatsApp to confirm the version on the unit.
- Light multitasking — switching between WhatsApp, the camera and a video works best with few apps open.
- Not for heavy games — demanding 3D titles will stutter, so keep it for school and video use.
Memory and Storage
- 256GB virtual storage — a figure the tablet's software reports, larger than the physical memory chip inside.
- 6GB virtual RAM — storage space used as stand-in working memory, slower than physical RAM.
- Honest expectation — real space suits a set of school apps and recent homework photos, not a big media library.
- microSD expansion listed — a memory card adds real, physical space for downloads and saved schoolwork.
- Usable space on request — message us on WhatsApp and we will read the free space from the settings.
Camera
- 8MP rear camera — MP means megapixels; 8MP captures readable photos of worksheets, exercise books and science projects.
- Front camera listed — handles video calls and online lessons; its resolution is not published.
- Tap to focus — tapping the page on screen before shooting gives sharper text in homework photos.
- Daylight matters — near a window, faint pencil writing shows far better than under a dim bulb.
- Quick sharing — photos go straight to WhatsApp or Google Classroom from the gallery, so finished work reaches the teacher the same evening.
Battery and Charging
- Battery capacity not published — Modio does not list a figure, so we describe charging habits rather than hours.
- Charge before homework — a full charge each evening covers lesson videos and photos for most school nights.
- Supplied charging accessories — use the charger from the box for steady, safe charging.
- Power bank backup — a basic power bank keeps the tablet running away from a socket or during outages.
- Dim to stretch — lower brightness and closed apps add time between charges, which helps on nights with long video lessons.
Connectivity
- Wi-Fi listed — connects to home internet for lessons, downloads and app updates.
- Bluetooth listed — pairs with wireless earphones so a child can watch lessons without disturbing others.
- Phone hotspot friendly — joins a parent's phone hotspot over Wi-Fi when the home router is down or out of range.
- SIM support unconfirmed — ask us on WhatsApp to check the tray before planning mobile data on the tablet.
- Calls need a different model — for parent-child calling, the Modio M750 lists dual SIM calling.
