The K8 Kids is a bigger tablet, but one with better resolution, more RAM, more internal storage and two cameras, with the rear-facing one having substantially higher resolution than that of the Tab E Lite. It also runs a more recent version of Android and the parental controls may well be better. The Tab E does have far better stated battery life though. Although battery life of tablets varies a lot depending on what use it is put to, the battery life of the K8 Kids is really quite poor. The Dragon Touch K8 Kids is in the majority of ways technically superior to the Samsung Galaxy Tab E Lite Kids.
