Handheld television

A handheld television is a small electronic device that you can hold in your hand and watch TV on. It's like a little TV that you can carry around with you wherever you go, kind of like a toy.

Inside the handheld TV there are lots of tiny bits and pieces, like wires and chips and lights, that work together to make the TV show pictures and sound. You can control the TV using buttons or touch screens on the device.

Some handheld TVs can pick up broadcasts of regular TV programs, while others require a special antenna or digital tuner. You can watch shows like cartoons, movies, and news on a handheld TV just like on a bigger TV.

Handheld TVs are great for traveling or going on long car rides because you can take them with you and watch your favorite shows wherever you go. They're also great for younger kids who sometimes get bored and need something to distract them.
