A new leak has revealed key specifications of the Xplora Go Pad, an upcoming kid-focused tablet that is apparently being developed through an ongoing collaboration between HMD and Xplora. The tablet is powered by a Snapdragon 685 SoC, 4G connectivity, IP65 protection, and a host of parental controls and security features.
It looks like HMD is expanding its kid-focused device portfolio with a new tablet under the Xplora brand. A new leak from X reveals key specifications for the Xplora Go Pad. This upcoming device pairs relatively modest Android tablet hardware with significant parental controls and security features.
Xplora Go Pad by HMD Specifications:
| Display | IPS LCD 8.7" |
| Operating System | Android 16 |
| Processor | Snapdragon 685 4G |
| Battery & Charging | 18W FC fast charging |
| Other | 100cm. Shock proof, IP65, Nude & Harm Block, Parental Control, Web detector, Education AI |
The Xplora Go Pad is said to feature an 8.7-inch IPS LCD panel, with an undisclosed resolution and refresh rate. Under the hood is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685, an older 6nm chipset with four Cortex-A73 performance cores and four Cortex-A53 efficiency cores. There’s also a 4G modem that allows the chip to operate on cellular networks over Wi-Fi, and a maximum charging power of 18W, though the tablet’s battery capacity hasn’t been revealed yet. Memory and storage configurations are also unknown at this time.
HMD seems to be putting a much bigger emphasis on durability and child safety. The Xplora Go Pad is said to be IP65-rated for dust and water resistance, and can withstand drops of up to 100cm. The software suite is said to include parental controls, web detection, and education-focused AI features. It also lists harmful content blocking among its capabilities.t
The tablet marks another collaboration between HMD and Norwegian company Xplora, which previously debuted the Fusion X1 smartphone. Essentially, it gives parents control over internet and social media access, allowed connections, screen time, and location tracking. The Xplora Go Pad extends this strategy beyond smartphones to the tablet market. Pricing, availability, and full specs haven't been announced yet.
