Everything you need to watch films, TV shows, read books and listen to music is built-in from the off. If you have an Amazon Prime account and make most of your digital purchases through Amazon, this is no bad thing. Like all Amazon tablets, the Fire HD 10 is powered by Fire OS, Amazon's own proprietary operating system based on Google's Android. The front-facing HD camera and 5MP rear-facing cameras remain unchanged but are adequate for video calls and some light video recording (up to 1080p), if not still photography. While not as sprightly as the Apple or Qualcomm equivalent, it provides more than enough grunt to navigate Fire OS smoothly. It's powered by a 1.8GHz, quad-core MediaTek processor that promises to be 30-percent faster than the processor in the old Fire HD 10. Internally, the Fire HD 10 has had an upgrade, too. The shiny rear surface of the old Fire 10 has been given the shove, replaced with a hard-wearing, textured plastic that provides plenty of grip, without feeling cheap (or, at least more premium than the price tag suggests). It's laminated to the glass, too, making it clear and easy to read. The 10.1-inch, 1920×1200 pixel IPS screen is colourful, bright, and has excellent viewing angles.

It even features a hands-free integration of Alexa, instead of the touch-to-talk of other Fire devices.įew tablets boast a quality, full HD screen for £150, let alone robust build quality and the backing of one of the biggest names in tech.Īmazon has made concessions to hit that price point, of course-mostly via the limitations of Fire OS-but let's start with the good stuff.

Amazon has fixed the tablet's most glaring issues-the most important of which is the introduction of a full HD 1080p IPS display-while reducing the price to an impressive £150/$150.
I would, however, recommend the new Fire HD 10. Neither premium enough to warrant its £170/$230 price tag, nor cheap enough to excuse cost-cutting concessions like a 1280×800 pixel resolution screen (resulting in a paltry 149 PPI when stretched over 10-inches), there was little reason to recommend the HD 10 over its cheaper and smaller cousins.
The Fire HD 10 was always the odd one out in the Amazon Fire tablet line up.
