Reviews for the Amazon Fire Tablet
Amazon Fire Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
On Fire? Amazon's entry into their tablet ecosystem is inexpensive - in fact, very inexpensive. In Germany, the Fire Tablet (Late 2015) sells for 60 Euro (~$64) via Amazon's online store. What compromises the low-budget 7-inch tablet requires is the subject of our review.

Tablet prices are falling which I am sure everyone knows. The £49 being asked by Amazon for their latest 7"Fire sets a new low price for what is a very powerful Android tablet. So what if anything is not included in this latest offering? The plus points it allows a child to have their own device and content, the older person to get their own computer and to keep in content with others as even a standard phone line cost and call connection charges are scandalous.

Along with the multitude of third-party products on offer from its Aladdin’s Cave of delights, sometimes known as its catalogue, Amazon has a number of its own brand offerings. Like many companies, Amazon holds a Christmas in July event for journalists in order to promote products such as the Fire Tablet forming the basis for this review.

Price certainly isn’t everything, but we have to give Amazon credit for delivering a $50 tablet that actually provides enough features and performance to meet the needs of a basic tablet user. Think about how your kids, parents, grandparents, or your non-techie friend would use a tablet.

Who needs Hudl when there's this for £50?
Source: Pocket Lint
For its price, the Amazon Fire is an amazing tablet. Yes, there are plenty of tablets out there that are much better in almost every way, including Amazon's own Fire HD range, but the Fire is great to watch streaming video on. It's capable of playing casual games well. And it doubles effectively as an eBook reader. And all for £50 (or £60 for the advert-free version).

Looking at Amazon's customer ratings, people seem to like the $50 Fire tablet. Nearly 80 percent of owners gave it 4 stars or higher. This is despite sluggish performance, a low-resolution display and short battery life. After spending lots of time with the Fire, I see where they are coming from.

Amazon Fire review
Source: Trusted Reviews
The Amazon Fire isn't a tablet for everyone, despite its all-welcoming £50 price. However, for some, its low price will be justification of its cut-price parts. It isn't slick in operation, the screen is clearly pixellated, and it feels cheap. However, it can happily run virtually any Android game, includes an IPS display, and – unlike ultra-budget tablets of a few years ago – it doesn’t feel as though it might be about to drip battery acid from its seams.

Does a Lot for $50

A swipe to the left gets you recently accessed content and apps, plus recommendations. It's a good way to get to frequent tasks without spending a lot of time moving around icons on the home screen. Older Amazon devices will get this feature, too, with an upcoming software update.

Amazon Fire review

If you’re buying the Fire, then you’ll be doing so for its price. All you need to know is that it’s performance is acceptable. This tablet is slow and has a dreary screen, but it won’t fall over at the drop of the hat and has a good enough battery life to keep the occupants of the backseats of a Volvo entertained all the way to Cornwall.

Amazon Fire (2015) review
Source: Expert Reviews
With such an incredibly low price, the Fire doesn’t really have any competition. The closest match would be the Tesco Hudl 2, which costs twice the price. If you’re looking for a cheap tablet to give to your children, Amazon’s own Kids Edition Fire also costs £100, but includes a heavy duty protective rubber case and two-year worry-free guarantee, arguably making it better value for cautious parents. The new Fire makes sense for anyone looking for a first tablet, though, or a cheap second device for travel, university or for keeping in the kitchen, as long as you’re aware of its limitations.

You get what you pay for
Source: PC Pro
If you can afford the extra £30, buy the Fire HD 6 instead. An extra £50? Buy the Tesco Hudl 2 – you’ll get a stronger device that you’ll be happy to use as your mainstay. Yet there will be a lot of people out there looking to dip their toes into the tablet world or buy a cheap slate for one or more kids. There’s no question that they could do much better than the Fire, but you could pay more and do much, much worse.

New to the Kids Edition, as part of Fire OS 5, is a web browser and YouTube access, although it is again age appropriately locked, with thousands of websites and YouTube videos curated to ensure they are suitable. Parents can add or remove them if needed, but a child could jump on board safely from the off.

Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
