Amazon Fire HD 10
Source: Hot Hardware Archive.org version
Amazon’s current generation Fire HD 10 may be one of the most powerful tablets the company currently offers but it’s price, specifications, and benchmark scores show this is really a budget tablet with direct ties to Amazon’s ecosystem. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing it’s just important to know what you’re getting into with this device.

There are inexpensive tablets, and there are cheap tablets. A chintzy design, low-resolution display, lackluster cameras and sluggish performance make the Amazon Fire 10 feel less than the sum of its parts. For less money, the Lenovo Tab 2 A10 has a higher-resolution screen, better design and much longer battery life.

With pixel density that’s years out of date, the Amazon Fire HD 10 just doesn’t offer the screen quality that’ll get us spending upwards of £150. The funny thing is that while the larger display is what’ll get people buying this instead of the Fire tablet or Fire HD 8, those extra inches actually are what make the screen worse.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 doesn’t make any moves that are going to cause people to send the thing back. The sound and battery life are a bit better than you’d expect, the screen is as advertised. However, it’s just not that good, especially when the price is creeping towards the mid-range zone where every single tablet out there offers a far, far better display. It’s the screen resolution that puts me off the most. It's very pixellated.

60% Is this the best cheap 10in tablet around?

If, on the other hand, you want something a little more versatile, there are more tempting options. Sacrifice 2in and the Tesco Hudl 2 gives you change, just, from £100. If you’re willing to forgo an inch of screen size, and are happy with a 4:3 ratio, then the Google Nexus 9 is your friend. When it costs £200 from Argos, which it does right now, it’s far more tempting, even to Amazon Prime subscribers like me.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a 10.1-inch window to Amazon's vast multimedia library. Unfortunately, its clunky form factor, slippery back, and grainy screen don't justify the jump in price over the Fire HD 8, which offers access to the same content but in a much more manageable body. If you're after a more well-rounded tablet, you'll have to shell out some extra cash for the iPad Air 2, which has an unbeatable app experience.

The Amazon Fire tablet, for £50, does what it says on the tin: it’s a tablet designed to deliver you Amazon products for cheap. And it does it pretty well, to be honest, for the low price tag. While it won’t compete with the higher end Amazon Fire tablets, for a first-time buyer who wants to try a slate out, or wants to get something for the kids and is already clued into the Amazon eco-system, it’s a great buy - but by itself, it’s not quite compelling enough.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Review: Hands-on
Source: Recombu Archive.org version
The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a mixed bag, with its design and screen being the most obvious weak points, but respectable real-world performance and an impressive software experience mean that it has a place for certain users. The £169.99 price tag is a little steep for what’s on offer and the keyboard dock adds an additional £99, despite feeling a little flimsy, but if you’re already entrenched in the world of Amazon, this might be worth a look. We’ll pass full judgement come the full review.

Amazon Kindle Fire HD 10 First Look
Source: Fudzilla Archive.org version
In conclusion, as at the beginning, we can only say that Amazon Kindle Fire HD 10 is a device with loads of stuff done right, but amazingly the one or two key things done very poorly. The interface is better than ever before on an Amazon tablet, the MediaTek SoC performs really well for what it is, the tablet is incredibly thin and light and the company claims it will stand up to abuse. We'll talk more about the specs, the benchmarks, the new Fire OS and other aspects of the device in our full review. Stay tuned.

The Fire HD 10 is one of the cheapest 10in tablets around, but with good reason. Screen quality is only average, performance is mediocre and you’re forced to use Amazon’s Fire OS. While version 5 is a definite improvement over the awful previous releases, it’s still limited compared to vanilla Android and surprisingly buggy at launch. Unless you’re completely invested in the Amazon ecosystem, and have no need for Google apps including Chrome, Maps, YouTube and Drive, you’re signing up for a limited experience.

Only Amazon addicts need apply

Like other Amazon tablets before it, the Fire HD 10 only really makes sense if you're immersed - or willing to be - in the retailer's ecosystem, though. Kindle ebooks, Prime video, and the Amazon Appstore are so tightly interwoven into the slate, while it may be possible to supplant them with third-party alternatives, the resulting experience underwhelms. That fact alone will probably decide whether the Fire HD 10 is for you or not. If Amazon is your go-to store, and your primary need for a tablet is content consumption, its an affordable way to carry Bezos' empire around with you. Everyone else would be better served with a more generic Android tablet or an iPad.Only Amazon addicts need apply.

Amazon Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 hands-on: Superslim entertainment slates for the whole family
Source: Pocket Lint Archive.org version
Both Fire HD tablet is just 7.7mm thick and the HD 10 will be available with a black or white body. The HD 8 will be available in four colours: tangerine, magenta, blue and black. You will also be able to get a keyboard case for the HD 10 that offers a full-size keyboard and trackpad, much like a laptop. It connects through Bluetooth, but will still last for up to four months on a single charge.

Comment

Model: For anyone who is shopping for a cost-friendly tablet which serves occasional laptop duty, the Amazon Fire HD 10 inch 2015 can be put on the shortlist. This tablet is equipped with a quad-core processor, a 5 MP rear camera, an HD front camera and Dolby-enhanced stereo speakers. Due to a 10.1 inch widescreen display, it is heavier and thicker than other tablets. The wide screen is just enough to support an on-screen keyboard with full-sized keys. With 149 ppi and 1280x800 resolution, the image is notably blurry towards the edges, but it remains legible. Hence, it might not be ideal for those who use it for reading.

The cool thing, though, is the tons of entertainments given by Amazon. Subscribers to Amazon Prime can have a worthwhile privilege to access unlimited content of music, movies, TV shows, books, games and much more. Its 16 GB or 32 GB internal storage, coupled with a microSD expansion slot, definitely eases your mind, too. Non-subscribers can experience the first-of-a-kind Amazon Underground, which presents a huge collection of free apps and games valued at $10,000. Overall, the Fire HD 10's fair performance makes it a decent choice for budget leisure.
