There are still lock screen ads, and it still costs a $15 fee to get rid of them. Amazon's Fire OS is still a forked version of Android that lacks access to the Google Play Store - and thus, native Google apps like Gmail or YouTube - and frequently pushes you toward the company's own apps, services and online store. The caveat with any Amazon tablet is, as always, software. (A version with 64GB of storage is also on sale for $95.) While the discounted model here only has 32GB of built-in storage, you can expand that with a microSD card.
The tablet gets a good 12-ish hours of battery life per charge, and it charges over USB-C. Again, its 1920 x 1200 resolution is a firm step-up from the lower-res Fire 7 or Fire HD 8, and simply having more real estate makes it more pleasing for video streams and quick Zoom calls. Similarly, the 10.1-inch panel isn't the brightest or most vibrant you'll see, but it's plenty fine for $75. Its eight-core MediaTek Helio P60T processor and 3GB of RAM won't blow anyone away - don't expect much in the way of gaming - but it can handle the basics without consistent slowdowns, and it's generally more fluid than the lower-cost models in the Fire lineup.īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. But for the money, it's all good enough if you're just looking for casual web browsing, ebook reading, video streaming, and Alexa stuff. Like Amazon's other Fire tablets, the Fire HD 10 is a no-frills device: It's largely made of matte plastic, the speakers and cameras are mediocre, and very little about its performance or design feels as premium as what you'd get from even an entry-level iPad. This is a nice price for what was already one of the better values on the tablet market. The 32GB model here technically has an MSRP of $150, though a handful of smaller discounts have dropped its average street price closer to $130 in recent months. While this isn't the absolute lowest price we've seen - the tablet was briefly available for $55 at Target earlier this year - it does match the price we saw during last year's Black Friday sales and Amazon's latest Prime Day events.
