Amazon Fire HD 10 (2024) Review | Best Budget Tablet?

[@rapids444]

i've had several Fire tablets... Chris hit it spot on. they're fine for reading, watching a video, & basic games. they're cheap AF and quite frankly they're fine for just basic uses. i'd certainly give it to anyone who isn't super techy and you're concerned about them trashing it or just doesn't care that it's pretty slow.

[@theAllucard]

Gave it to my 3 year old niece, she trashed it in a months time 😂

[@colinnicoll9169]

My wife's had a Fire tablet for years and it's still going strong and working well for the basic use it gets, mostly watching movies, etc. through the browser. I belive that it's possible to load some Google services too if you know how. Details on the web

Thks to upload Sir. Here in Japan there's a sales off this weekend and price is 14980 japanese Yen (around GBP 78,55).

[@MichaelW1959]

I have an 11th gen Fire tablet and it's been absolutely terrific for watching movies and reading e-books. And yes, I've read all of Chris Barraclough's books. I even paid for some of them!😁

[@clancyshannon893]

Can you stream movies on planes? I assume yes but haven't seen you can.

[@MichaelW1959]

I've enjoyed my hd10 for the last 2 years tbf never need to worry about it getting dented or damaged , it still looks amazing don't throw it round but I'm not too careful with it and sometimes that's what you need when going away ,watching movies , streaming music to Bluetooth speaker etc all been brilliant. I will need a tablet for work purposes which I will get something else but this has been brilliant

[@spaceted3977]

Just because Amazon Store doesn't include a KZbin App doesn't mean you can't get it !!! I downloaded it from Google and now I have KZbin with no Adverts on my New Fire 10. I don't bother with the Games, I use my X Box Series X for them !!!

Holy cow Chris I had no idea you were a writer as well, definitely checking out your books!

Great review, like the candid comments, wish I had been wise to the limitations of Fire OS before ordering an HD10. As at mid December 2024 the standard price for the HD10 on the UK 'high street' is £70, so less of a loss. Hoping that I find a way to at least get KZbin on it, which is my main main source of screen based entertainment these days.

[@josephdaniel6943]

Thanks for the upload! Amazon is delivering mine today. It’ll be my first tablet. Not really planning to use it for gaming. I enjoy basic things like watching movies/youtube videos, social media, etc. I think this will be PERFECT for me just based on your review.

I was looking at it here in the USA 5 minutes ago....they offered it for 75.- USD right now and i had a old Kindle Fire 7 HD lying around for what they still offered me as trade in 20.- USD...means i ordered it right now for 55.- Dollar. That was a catch.

What reasonably priced tablet would you recommend, that has the Google play store, from a decent uk supplier, and reasonable updates for around the £350

Thanks for the feedback! I’m thrilled because my first tablet is arriving today, and I can’t wait to start using it. I’m not really into gaming, but I’m a huge fan of watching movies, KZbin, and scrolling through social media. It seems like this tablet will be ideal for my needs! I just hope a KZbin app becomes available soon.

[@creativesblock6931]

@@Koda_the_hombre Not bad but lack of Google Play Applications was a downside for me

[@franklingoodwin]

Another one? Fire OS still based on Android 11 though. How long can Amazon get away with releasing tablets with software from 2021? Don't get wrong I own a Fire HD 10 and it's great for watching KZbin and basic Office 365 use (though it can be a bit slow at times) but come on Amazon, it's time to start basing Fire OS on Android 12 now. Give us proper multitasking and the ability to record the screen and take screenshots.

[@Cavsfan707]

Hello does this tablet get spectrum tv app??

[@pavelow235]

Amazon has the Fire 8 Tablet for $55 dollars, 2024 edition, I just need E-books and audibles use, good buy for me? I mean I'd spend twice that if I went out to eat at nicer restaurant.....

[@fifteentwelve]

If only Amazon can integrate this tablet with a Kindle e-reader, i.e. a "Kindle Fire" hybrid with switchable OLED/E-ink acreen (able to turn transparent like under-display selfie cameras) so that one can watch videos in full colour 60hz like normal, then switch to a more comfy paper-like display for books and manga. One can dream 😂

[@eltiosamtv]

Man, that's actually a great idea, and it's possible to build it, it would be amazing if someone did it.

[@spacechimp5141]

I've checked and I only see the 2023 tablet. where's the link where they sell the 2024?

This is the 2023 tablet. It was released in November 2023. The title is incorrect.

[@noahriding5780]

These are really good. I like that it bigger than a phone. Although I have questions; sometime kids use my tablet. I don't want them to see the graphic icons on it such as book covers of books I'm reading. How do I block that, or change what's visible?

[@theodoretekkers]

My issue with the Fire tablets is that they take years to get 100% full battery.

[@franklingoodwin]

True. That's why you use a 15w charger instead of the 9w one they put in the box. Amazon also have misleading specs when it comes to charging. It says on their website it charges at 9w which technically is true if you use their charger. But they should probably mention you can use a 15w charger and shave around an hour off the charging time

[@j.cvaltierra2990]

Can you down load the KZbin app?

Amazon is removing basic android features like changing the launcher... im probably gonna return the 11 i just got today and get the samsung tab a9 plus or that walmart 11 inch tablet

Should have done that straight away the 11 is overpriced for how restricted Amazon tabs are the 10 is good though.

[@alt666]

@@wizzgamer I got it as an upgrade to the fire tab 10+ so i definitely know how good they used to be before the apple clone generation. It was on sale for almost 100 off so i was like f it... cant change the launcher, no headphone jack, the play store is and a lot of the non amazon app store apps have horrible ghost touches, etc. Used to be budget kings now they are just overpriced and somehow cheap junk.

[@yensteel]

The ads on the lock screen are concerning.

Can pay to remove them, or if you have a computer and know how to USB debug the device using developer options, you can find ADB commands that allow you to remove them for free.

[@terrykemp8131]

I know the Amazon tablets are good for general use. However, I find their specs to be very minimal for the price. They could offer a better quality screen and at least access to the Play Store Ram is only 3 GB with awful amounts of internal storage. Even budget blowers seem to have much better specs than this.. In 2024, I feel that Amazon should be doing more in offering more in terms of performance and specs.

[@franklingoodwin]

Specs to price ratio, Amazon offer the best specs if you buy them when they're on sale, which is like every 3 months. NEVER buy them at full price and you'll be more than happy.

[@wizzgamer]

It's actually well specced when on sale only the Max 11 isn't worth buying as it's overpriced even on sale.
