It still measures 10.1in from corner to corner, and has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 with a pixel density of 224ppi.

Like the recent Fire HD 8 re-do, the Fire HD 10’s IPS display remains largely unchanged from the previous version. Video quality is very noisy and lacks detail. The 5MP rear-facing camera and 2MP selfie snapper both have a maximum video resolution of 720p, and neither is anything special. I can’t say the same about the Fire HD 10’s cameras. There’s more than enough volume, with only a hint of tinniness at the high end, and there’s a surprising amount of bass, too. On that note, while you can’t expect much in the way of audio panache from a budget tablet, the Fire HD 10’s stereo speakers sounded quite good in my tests. The tablet’s Dolby Atmos integrated dual speakers are situated on the top edge. The tablet’s ports and buttons are all located on the right edge when held in landscape orientation, with a volume rocker sitting above the Fire HD 10’s power button, USB-C charging port and 3.5mm audio jack. It’s available in black, green, lavender or blue.Īll-new Amazon Fire HD 8 (2020) review: The best budget tablet?Įlsewhere, it’s a pretty standard affair.

Since it’s so cheap, you can’t really expect the Fire HD 10 to outdo the iPad in the design stakes, but for the most part, it’s absolutely fine, and it’s nice that you get a choice of colours, too. It’s a big slab of plastic and glass, with thick 15mm screen-bordering bezels and neatly rounded corners. If you’ve seen one Fire tablet, you’ve seen them all and the Amazon Fire HD 10 does nothing to dispel this notion. Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Design, key features and Dolby Atmos If you don’t mind taking a substantial hit in terms of specifications, design and features, then the Fire HD 8 is the next tablet down the list and starts at £90, while the Fire 7 costs even less at just £50.

#T76n2p full version
There’s also Huawei’s MatePad lineup of tablets to contend with but, since they don’t run the full version of Android – with a sorely limited app store and lack of security updates – they aren’t worth buying at this time. Perhaps the most affordable 10in Samsung tablet (which we’ve reviewed) is the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, which costs £285. What about Android alternatives, I hear you cry? Alas, the market for big-screened Android tablets is no longer what it once was and serious alternatives can only really be found coming out of Samsung’s factories these days. Apple’s entry-level iPad – currently in its eighth iteration with the latest model released in 2019 – starts at £329. There’s also a new “ Productivity Bundle'' available for each tablet, which includes a new detachable keyboard case (sadly this wasn’t supplied for review) and a 12-month Microsoft 365 subscription for an extra £60.Īt those prices, it’s no surprise that the low-cost Fire HD 10 finds itself in a league of its own. At these prices, they come with lock screen adverts, with Amazon charging an extra £10 to remove them.
