Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) Review

Affordable ; Good build quality ; Decent display ; Alexa Echo Show mode

Limited app selection ; Amazon-focused content

The 2023 Fire HD 10 offers the best blend of performance, price, and size in the Fire lineup, making it the best cheap tablet for most people as long as you don't mind being locked into Amazon's ecosystem.

Amazon Fire HD 10

Amazon's Fire HD 10 tablet serves up access to all the Amazon content you could possibly want, but its clunky form factor, subpar screen, and higher price place it a step behind the smaller Fire HD 8.

Easy access to Amazon content. Solid battery life.

Hefty. Slippery metallic back panel. Grainy screen. Subpar cameras.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a 10.1-inch window to Amazon's vast multimedia library. Unfortunately, its clunky form factor, slippery back, and grainy screen don't justify the jump in price over the Fire HD 8, which offers access to the same content but in...

Amazon Fire HD 10: A cheap, big-screen conduit to Amazon's digital content (review)

Amazon's biggest tablet ever offers easy access to Prime TV shows, movies, music and games, and it even lets you download them onto a microSD card.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 lets Prime subscribers easily stream or download movies and TV shows in the library, as well as download games that are exclusively free for Amazon users. It houses powerful speakers and a microSD card slot for extra storage. Its...

Images aren't as sharp as on the 8-inch model. Performance is sluggish when downloading apps. Its plastic construction feels cheap.

The Amazon Fire HD 10 is satisfyingly large and loud enough for indulging in Prime digital content, however a tablet with a sharper screen can be found in the same price range.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Review – Only Amazon addicts need apply

Amazon 's largest ever tablet is also the company's thinnest, and as you'd expect the Fire HD 10 does its level best to be the perfect vehicle for the Bezos empire. Promising the cutting-edge in tablet hardware, with the heavily customized ease of...

Faster, thinner, tougher, and longer-lasting: sure enough, on paper the Fire HD 10 ticks all the boxes. The plastic construction may lack the premium feel of its metal-bodied rivals, but there’s no knocking Amazon’s pricing – even if the screen’s...

Amazon Fire HD 10 (2015) Tablet Review

Shopping with style.The 10.1-inch Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is available for a starting price of just 200 Euros (~$218). Its Android-based Fire OS operating system primarily serves as the shopping platform for Amazon products. It is easy to use - and...

solid build, storage expandable by up to 128 GB, bright screen with good color reproduction, dual-band Wi-Fi, decent stereo sound, very low operating temperatures, low price

Amazon lock-in, Fire OS rather than Android, back cover very susceptible for scratches, moderate camera modules, no NFC, no GSM/UMTS/LTE, no GPS

Amazon's Fire HD 10 is a little different from conventional tablets. It does not use a standard Android operating system, but rather the modified Fire OS version that is completely focused on Amazon services. Users who regularly shop at Amazon will...

Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) review: Still the best for the budget-minded

Hard to beat, often for under $100

Bright, colorful display ; Expandable storage ; Excellent battery life

Relatively slow charging ; Restrictive software experience

Given the amount of sales Amazon runs per year, it’s hard to argue the value of the Fire HD 10. While it will never be the best in any category, it doesn’t have to be. Amazon understood the assignment — the Fire HD 10 needs to provide good battery life...

Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) review: A sweet spot in tablet value

The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) offers mild upgrades over its predecessor, but it's still one of the best values in tablets.

But as a go-anywhere device for streaming media, casually browsing the web, and keeping in touch with the world, the Amazon Fire HD still feels like a bargain with this latest revision. It’s a strong pick for the budget-conscious buyer.

Amazon Fire HD10 review

The Fire HD10 is a larger version of Amazon's low-cost tablet designed for use with a Prime membership. This gives you free access to a wealth of movies, TV shows, music, games and popular apps. It's ideal for a family, thanks to comprehensive parental...

The Fire HD10 is a larger version of the HD8. Instead of an 8-inch screen, it has a 10-inch display, although the number of pixels remains the same, at 1280 x 800 pixels, leading to a lower pixel density of just 149ppi. Still, the extra screen space is...
