One huge omission in this review: Amazon will support this tablet for a minimum of 6 years of end to end software/security updates. You won't find this with any other android OEM at this price point.

[@wizzgamer]

Was a rushed paid review sadly as he made a fair few mistakes too.

[@rslashteenagers]

"support" can be put in quotes. It's mainly just Amazon updating their system apps (e.g. Amazon, Prime Video, Amazon Music, etc) and then patching or breaking ways people install custom roms or install stuff like the Google Play Store on their devices.

[@mw7967]

@@rslashteenagers devs must also keep their apps working on Amazon devices for a minimum of four years, after a device is last sold on Amazon in “brand new” condition. So, the minimum support length is 6 years guaranteed and this extends beyond amazons own apps.

[@janepolewchak731]

Most people that buy it are not looking for an iPad. They pick it up when Amazon has special offers. Without trade-in, That's $149, $229. It's mainly a device for consuming content , and its great for those tied into Amazon's ecosystem. It's a beautiful redesign: sleek, with a better build quality, beautiful screen. Sound is pretty. As for the headphone jack, Amazon, was just following the trend. An adapter is quite affordable. No we shouldn't have to do that. But other technology is is abandoning the head jack in favor of just one USB-C jack. Anyway, most people get a lot of bang for their buck, because Amazon tablets can be used for a very long time.

[@OOICU812]

I always thought a headphone jack was a good selling point. But I honestly can't remember the last time I've actually used one.

I bought me a HD 8 2 years ago, and I still am rocking with it. If I was to follow reviewers about Amazon tablets being under powered I would have missed out on how awesome Amazon experience is. I upgraded to no ads, and side loaded the playstore. It's been stellar from ever since just the same. Camera is crappy, but, add more light, you would be pleasantly surprised. I definitely love the design of the HD 11, and glad it has a more powerful CPU. Waiting for holiday sale or special discounts, cause I would definitely rock the HD 11.

Only use it for media consumption when traveling because I don’t like taking my iPad on trips because it was so expensive and don’t wanna risk loosing or damaging it.

[@miltjackson1039]

good job easy to understand

[@richinoregon]

I just bought the 10 (13 gen), and a lot of what you say here holds true for the 10. I say it is basically a Kindle with add-ons. As a Kindle reader it is better than the Paperwhite for less money. It is just the right size for reading. The Amazon App Store offerings suck however. I sideloaded the google play store and loaded apps that I had already paid for from the Play Store that Amazon doesn't have. The main reason I bought a Fire was that it is the only device that Amazon allows to have text-to-speech functionality. With the size of the screen it is great for sharing pictures that I have taken on my S22 Ultra. (screen on the phone is too small, and PC's are too immobile.) Just so long as you accept that these aren't I-pads (or even budget Samsungs) you should be happy. (I got mine for less than $100 which is a great deal)

[@markh385]

How does the display compare to the fire 10 is the display better as I just use for watching movies 🍿 or shows when traveling for work I don’t use it for nothing else just watching movies is it better quality picture

I got it for $70, took advantage of prime day for $149 plus I had a $30 gift card plus $10 credit from Amazon and sold my 10 inch fire tablet to a coworker for $50

That adds up to $160 & you "got it" for $149

[@youtubecommentator5978]

[@jeffreyberg356]

The math is actually correct if you think of the $50 from selling the old device like a trade in discount. Did this person actually obtain the device on Prime for $70. No. But, the $40 in discounts plus the money received for selling the older fire tablet equals $90. 149 x 1.06 = 157.94 Let's just round that up to $160 160 - 90 = 70

@@Me-wk3ix I went with Lenovo Tab M11 - cheaper, still has the headphone out, comes with stylus and you don't have to mess around installing Play Store. Amazon's tablets are no longer best value for money, unfortunately.

[@RealStuntPanda]

Not having reliable Google Play Store makes these tablets a non-starter for me. I buy a lot of Chinese stuff that requires me to install an app to use them (lamps, drones, blenders, washing machines, etc.) and I know for a fact that app is trying to spy on me so I use a cheap burner Android tablet and I won't be able to install any of that on an Amazon Fire tablet. Which sucks because the Max 11 is on sale for just $150 now.

[@benpascall4297]

It took me 20 minutes to sde load google play into this tonight. All I needed to do was a simple online search and followed the instructions. It's hardly a secret that users do this - the guy in the video even showed it! So is 20 minutes of your life really equatable to a 'non-starter'. Unless you're in a top secret job, I wouldn't worry about if Amazon is following what brand of peanut butter you're buying. Direct marketing happens everywhere now days anyway, not that it isn't annoying.

[@robsemail]

I don’t think Amazon has topped their best-ever tablet, at least if we rate “best-ever” according to its time. At the time the Kindle Fire DX 7 was released about a decade ago, I remember some reviewers saying it was the best available small tablet from anyone other than Apple. My mother was heavily invested in the Kindle ecosystem and bought one, so I got to play with it a bit. It had an absolutely gorgeous display with a very high pixel density and superb color performance. However it was soon discontinued and Amazon stopped offering anything with a retina-class display, except maybe for that ridiculous phone they released later.
