SkieWhich phones and tablets work with Skie?
Any Android 12 or newer phone or tablet, in any country where the device has Google Play services. Phones and tablets work the same way. A model Skie has not seen before is reviewed once during setup. iPhones and iPads are not supported. The device needs a one-time reset to be set up.
The rule is short. If it is a phone or tablet, runs Android 12 or later, and has Google Play services, it can work with Skie. That covers most Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi, Realme, Oppo, Vivo, Motorola and Nokia devices, and the major Android tablet makers.
You can check the Android version in Settings under About phone or About tablet, then Android version. If it says 11 or lower, the device is too old. You can still use it as a plain device, but not with Skie.
A device does not have to be new, expensive or branded for kids. A mid-range phone from a few years ago is a common choice. A Wi-Fi-only tablet works for most features.
If your model is one Skie has not seen, a one-time model review is part of setup. After that, the model is known. During the review, built-in apps on an unreviewed model are left alone.
Two things apply to every device. It must be freshly set up or reset once, with no Google account on it, because Android only allows device owner management before the first setup is finished. And it needs internet during setup.
Skie does not sell phones or tablets, and no device is bundled. You use one you own or buy one yourself. Pricing for Skie is on request.
