While it may not be a must-have for anyone shopping for a 2019 tablet, it certainly shows that Amazon is capable of delivering a value-driven tablet that&#8217;s good enough for many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes the Fire HD 10 one of the best Android tablets on the market, and one of the best you can buy\u2014especially if you&#8217;re on a budget, as it&#8217;s one of the best cheap tablets on the market. Its biggest flaws aren&#8217;t anything new, though. Amazon&#8217;s Fire OS is still lacking apps, lacking the Google Play app store. That means you don&#8217;t get the full YouTube experience, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, Amazon is also selling a $199 Fire HD 10 Kids Edition, and the extra $50 gets you a 2-year unconditional warranty, a case with a kickstand, and a year of Amazon Kids+ (aka FreeTime Unlimited).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, Amazon is offering a few new optional upgrades: a $179 Fire HD 10 (2021) Plus with wireless charging and 4GB of RAM (up from 3GB in the entry-level model), and a $299 (currently $249) Fire HD 10 Plus Productivity Bundle that includes a detachable Bluetooth keyboard case and 12 months of Microsoft 365 Personal subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can&#8217;t decide which Fire tablet to pick? Check out our comparison of the Fire 7, Fire HD 8, and Fire HD 10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Design<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) tablet has a very minimalist design, with a matte plastic shell on one side and a glossy screen on the other. It&#8217;s available in black, denim (the dark blue shown here), lavender, and olive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While testing the Fire HD 10 at home, I can say it feels sturdy unless you grip it too tightly. Then you&#8217;ll notice that the case is a bit curved &#8212; mostly in the center of the back. The Fire HD 10 Plus (9.7 x 6.5 x 0.4 inches, 16.5 ounces) is a bit heavier, while the Apple iPad (2020) (9.8 x 6.8 x 0.3 inches, 17.6 ounces) is slightly thinner and heavier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fire HD 10 (2021) takes a step over the iPad with its USB-C port, which still uses a Lightning port. While both are reversible, Apple&#8217;s port is far from universal, while USB-C is growing in popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: display<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a $150 tablet, the Fire HD 10&#8217;s display is colorful and bright. Additionally, this is Amazon&#8217;s only tablet with a full HD (1,920-by-1,200-pixel) screen, so if screen quality is important to you, don&#8217;t consider the Fire HD 8 or Fire 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review The Fire HD 10&#8217;s display appears to be slightly better than the 2019 model, producing 106.5% of the sRGB spectrum on our Klein K10-A colorimeter and emitting up to 420 nits of brightness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s a bit brighter than the 2019 Fire HD 10 (106%, 403 nits) and Fire HD 10 Plus (107.9%, 403.6 nits). The 2020 iPad 8th Gen (97%, 484 nits) is slightly less colorful but brighter. The Fire HD 10&#8217;s display can be a little reflective (a problem with most tablets), but it doesn&#8217;t affect viewing angles. As I watched an airstrike drop more bombs in The Tomorrow War, the explosions only dimmed slightly when viewed from 45 degrees to the left or right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amazon Fire HD 10&#8217;s touchscreen has improved in speed since I tested the 2019 model. Not only was navigating the Fire OS home screen as snappy as ever, but I didn&#8217;t see any lag when I pinched and pulled to zoom in and out of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also wish the Fire HD 10&#8217;s panel woke up when I tapped it. Alas, you need to tap the power button to turn the panel on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Audio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 Fire HD 10&#8217;s screen may be impressive at this price, but its speakers don&#8217;t always match it. When I turned on Frank Ocean&#8217;s &#8220;Swim Good,&#8221; I immediately heard too much of the rattling percussion because the sound was a little too shrill from the tablet&#8217;s speakers. I did enjoy the tinkling of piano keys while listening to LCD Soundsystem&#8217;s &#8220;All My Friends,&#8221; though. I got almost none when searching for bass in De La Soul&#8217;s &#8220;Rock Co. Kane Flow,&#8221; though MF Doom&#8217;s vocals did sound correct and firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2021 Fire HD 10 is faster than the smaller Fire tablet, with an octa-core 2.0 GHz processor and 3GB of RAM, but still not blazingly fast. Simple pauses when moving from an app to the home screen, for example, took a little longer than they should, and I saw similar lags when opening app switch views. Navigating tabs in the Silk browser was a little smoother than before, thanks to the extra 1GB of RAM (the 2019 model only had 2GB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as games go, Asphalt 9&#8217;s racing game only looks great in the opening sequence, when the cars aren&#8217;t actually moving. As I zipped down the street in a blue Mitsubishi, I noticed small but noticeable stutters while colliding with other cars and performing stunts on ramps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) Review:&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/search?search=+Amazon+Fire+HD+10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon Fire HD 10 Battery<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;Life<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reliable is the big word when it comes to&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/tablet-battery\/Amazon%20Kindle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tablet Battery Amazon Kindle&nbsp;<\/a><\/u><\/strong>life, so I&#8217;m impressed when I say the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) lasts a while on a single charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tom&#8217;s Guide&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>Amazon Fire HD 10 Battery&nbsp;<\/strong>Test (surfing the web over Wi-Fi at 150 nits of brightness) showed the Fire HD 10 lasting 13 hours, 14 minutes with default settings, and 13 hours, 46 minutes with Amazon&#8217;s automatic low-power mode engaged after the&nbsp;<strong>Amazon Fire HD 10 Battery&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;reached 20 percent. The latter time was a minute longer than the 2019 model&#8217;s 13:45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of those times are longer than the iPad 2020 (12:57), but the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus lasted longer: 14:02 by default, and 14:35 with Auto Low Power Mode enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Camera<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The camera in the Fire HD 10 (2021) will prove to be serviceable, but not ideal for taking great photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new Fire HD 10&#8217;s rear camera gets a 5-megapixel sensor, up from the previous generation&#8217;s 2-megapixel sensor. Still, my shots of houseplants and toys were a little blurry no matter how hard I tried to use tap to focus. Tones looked OK, with the blue of a green cactus and a small acid-wash denim jacket looking good. Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) review: Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fire HD 10 is still a pretty competent tablet. As this Fire HD 10 (2021) review shows, it has a bright, clear display and excellent<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/search?search=+Amazon+Fire+HD+10\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesfast.co.uk\/search?search=+Amazon+Fire+HD+10\">\u00a0<strong><u>Tablet Battery Amazon\u00a0Fire HD 10\u00a0Kindley<\/u><\/strong><\/a>life (plus, it can be charged using the same cable as your laptop or phone).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analyzing multiple layers of content distributed by Amazon, I found the Fire HD 10 2021 to be fast enough for most everyday tasks. The Fire HD 10 quickly loaded music from Spotify and movies from Prime Video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the Fire HD 10&#8217;s score of 969 on the Geekbench 5 multi-core performance benchmark isn&#8217;t impressive. The A12 Bionic chip in the iPad earns it a higher score of 2,685, while the 4GB of RAM in the Fire HD 10 Plus (an eight-core 2.0 GHz CPU, no less) makes a huge difference to its 1,399 score. This is arguably the best Amazon tablet ever. That said, the Fire HD 10 (2021) is still a great choice for those looking for a device for casual browsing the internet, reading ebooks, and watching videos.
