![]() ![]() If you’re not doing that, then you might find the deep integration annoying. I often watch movies and TV shows from Amazon and read their E-Books. If you’re using the services from Amazon you probably won’t mind that too much. The interface is kind of a shopping window into the world of Amazon. That includes Kindle E-Books, Amazon Video, Amazon Music, Audible and, of course, the normal Amazon store. Compared to other Android tablets, the interface is heavily customized.įrom the home screen, you’ve got direct access to the offers from Amazon. They called it Fire OS and preinstalled is version 5.5. Fire OS SoftwareĮven though the Amazon Fire HD 10 is running Android, it is not Googles but Amazons Android. In both those benchmarks, it is actually better than the much more expensive Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 (review). In Geekbench the Fire HD 10 gets around 15 points. The good performance is reflected in benchmarks as well. It runs very smooth, especially if you turn down the graphics settings just a bit. I played Star Wars Knights of the old Republic and that worked without any problems. How good is it for gaming? It is not as powerful as more expensive high-end tablets, but you will be able to play some games on this tablet. I was able to open a lot of tabs at the same time without noticing any lags. I also wrote a lot in Microsoft Word, watched movies with Amazon Video and Netflix and didn’t notice any problems with the performance. The operating system itself runs very smoothly. ![]() ![]() We always have to consider the price and for around 150 Dollars the performance is pretty good. From those 32GB there are 25.3GB free to use by the user. In addition to that, we’re getting 2GB of RAM and a 32GB or 64GB internal storage. Two of those four cores are clocked at 1.8GHz and the other two at 1.4GHz. Inside the new Amazon Fire HD 10 runs a quad-core processor from MediaTek. On the Fire HD 10, it is much better and I enjoyed watching movies on it. Because, as I said, most competitors offer a lower resolution and those screens don’t look very sharp when reading texts. Especially at this price – it’s one of the highlights of this tablet. Overall, I really like the display of the Fire HD 10. ![]() Unlike a lot of cheap tablets from China, the display is fully laminated so there is no gap between the IPS panel and the touchscreen. In direct sunlight you can still see a bit, but not too much. The brightness is certainly fine, but not the best. It is an IPS panel with solid viewing angles and colors look nice too. Compared to those, the Fire HD 10 screen looks much sharper. That is awesome because similarly priced tablets like the Huawei MediaPad T3 10 or Lenovo Tab 4 10 have an HD resolution only. It is a 10-inch screen with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200. The main camera has a resolution of 2-megapixel and the front-facing camera offers a VGA resolution only. The front-facing camera is usable for Skype, but kind of bad too. In fact, I wouldn’t use them for Instagram or any serious photography. While I’m fine with the speakers, the cameras are not very good. If you want really good sound you have to pay much more and get the Galaxy Tab S3 or iPad Pro. They’re loud enough but, as usual, they’re kind of lacking a strong bass. Considering the price, they’re actually not too bad. There are two integrated speakers at the bottom of the device. To expand the internal storage there is a microSD card slot and we’re getting a 3.5-millimeter audio jack. I wish we would see Type C ports more often in cheaper devices but competitors like Huawei or Lenovo use micro USB ports as well. Instead, Amazon is using the older micro USB standard. We are not getting a lot of ports with the Fire HD 10. It weighs 500 grams and with 9.8 millimeters it is quite thick. It actually feels very solid and it doesn’t have any scratches yet.Ĭompared to some other 10-inch tablets, it is relatively big with thick black bezels around the screen. Apparently, it is more stable than the 10.5-inch iPad Pro. Some similarly priced competitors like the Huawei MediaPad T3 10 have at least a metal back.Īccording to Amazon, the tablet is very robust. As you might expect at this price, it has a full plastic body. While you can get it in black only in some countries like Germany, in the United States you can also get it in blue and red. The design of the Amazon Fire HD 10 is almost identical to other recent tablets from Amazon. Is the new Amazon Fire HD 10 a good value for your money? That’s what you’ll find out in this review. During this week I used it during an 11-hour flight, watched movies, played games and even worked with it successfully. My Fire HD 10 arrived just over a week ago and I almost didn’t take it out of my hands since then. ![]()
