Bigger and Better! *Update*
5 Stars
Bigger and Better! *Update*
This is my third Kindle Fire device. I had the HDX for years then gifted it to my son. I then ordered the 8 Plus most recently and have generally enjoyed it. However, as someone that has a giant phone with me, I came to realize that the screen just wasn’t big enough to justify using it regularly. Enter the new HD 10 Plus with its larger screen. My assumption was that, for the most part, this would basically be a larger version the 8. Generally, my assumption was correct but Amazon did a very nice job of tweaking some areas that desperately needed it. I will detail some of those tweaks here but, at its core, this tablet is still very much just a very reasonably priced entertainment device. I think some folks misunderstand the intent from Amazon here. The Fire line up is designed to meet the demands of most tablet owner’s needs; streaming music, streaming Prime Video / Hulu / Netflix, handling emails, general web browsing and more. I know, Amazon is offering a “productivity bundle” here and it is nice to see Amazon trying to make these more flexible but, make no mistake, there is a reason that companies like Apple and Samsung charge so much more for their devices. However, if you aren’t expecting an iPad like experience, I think most folks should be genuinely happy with the HD 10 Plus. It does an awful lot incredibly well! Here is the breakdown:-The Screen: One of my biggest complaints about the Fire 8 Plus was the screen. It felt dull and lifeless to me. Functional and fine for a movie or bopping around online indoors but not a vibrant experience. Part of the issue is, so many of us have phones with these crazy perfect panels on them now. HD+, FHD+, WQHD+, and more! Plus, some of have adaptive refresh rates. I mean these screens are amazing today! These phones often cost over $1,000. So, for devices that retail at less than $250, it would not be fair to expect that level of screen quality. That being said, Amazon has definitely improved things here. We get 1080p HD and the screen does not feel as laggy or slow to me. Further, it is noticeably brighter to my eyes which was probably my single biggest complaint about the 8. You will not want to try and stream a show on a bright day on the beach, but it just looks and performs better overall. Combined now with the bigger screen size and I think this panel might actually be a strength of the new 10. Well done!-Form Factor: I loved the Fire 8 Plus with one big nitpick: GIGANTIC bezels! This 10 still has big ones but they feel so much smaller to me. Good stuff. The device feels good in the hand. Solid! Amazon claims a twelve-hour battery. I am seeing at least that. This thing is a beast with battery life!! Charging is handled via USBC or wireless. There is an included 9W brick but make sure to find a 15W brick as that is this tablet’s max charging capability. You will see much faster speeds. I have not had to recharge yet but figure around three hours. As with the last gen 8 Plus the wireless charging was a great inclusion at this price Amazon! With 4GB of RAM and a slightly upgraded RealTek processor, I was expecting this to be faster and smoother. Frankly, I am just not sure. Maybe a little bit. It handles everything I have thrown at it. It is a marginal improvement over the last 8 Plus in this regard. If you were hoping for huge speed and performance upgrades over the 8 Plus, do not bother here. It is smoother but it is somewhat negligible. Amazon is claiming almost 2x the durability in drop testing over the latest iPad 10.2 with significantly strengthened glass. Time will tell on that, but this is good news. Additionally, like the 8 Plus, this can be dropped in Amazon’s $50 wireless dock and it will basically become an Echo Show. Pretty slick! I opted for the 64GB model (there is also 32GB) but you can add up to 1TB via expandable memory. Unlike many others, Amazon still supports a good old-fashioned 3.5mm stereo jack. There is a 2MP front-facing camera and a 5MP rear camera that shoots up to 720p video. If you have a smartphone built in the last 4 years, you will want to skip anything but, perhaps, a Zoom meeting. The cameras produce below average images by today’s standards. This is an okay place to make a save in my opinion. The speakers here are improved over the 8 Plus but are still just average.-Connectivity: You get 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz WiFi here for networking and Bluetooth 5.0 LE. In my experience so far, I have had very stable WiFi connection to my home network with solid range. Additionally, as I would expect with this version of Bluetooth, my connection to my ear buds has been strong and can get 50’ plus of range.-Other Important Thoughts: I cannot find any codec support from either Amazon or Realtek. I did not anticipate that here. Despite that, I see very little latency when streaming video. Know though that, when streaming music services, do not bother with cranking up the stream quality. This device will not handle anything but fairly compressed audio. Fine in a pinch but an iPhone with AAC or an Android with AptX (at a minimum) will sound better. Amazon does let you go to split screen here to take advantage of the bigger real estate. I do not anticipate using it but you could watch a video on Netflix and answer emails at the same time. Might be handy to some. You will hear grumbling about the Amazon app store in some of the reviews. It happens every time they release a new device. As a long time Fire tablet and Android user, I will say that I have never understood Amazon’s decision here. Just so much work for a substandard result! That said, I doubt too many of you will find many apps missing. Amazon has given us access to all the big-name apps here. There might be some niche missing stuff but 98% of consumers will likely be pleased here. If you are wondering whether to pay for ad removal or not, I always go for the ads. Only on my reading Kindle’s have I paid to remove them. It is not expensive to remove them, but they are only on the lock screen. I swipe the screen and they disappear. Inconsequential to me but, if they bother you, you can pay any time (even after purchase) to remove them so, if you are a first time Fire buyer, I recommend taking the save initially to see how you feel about them. Also, plan on buying the Amazon brand case. It has a premium feel and protects the tablet nicely. It also offers a unique approach to standing the device both in portrait and landscape modes. Well done.Conclusion:So, I need to spend more time here and will update as I go but, given the similarities to the 8 Plus, I am confident in my early recommendation. In comparison, I just cannot tell you guys what a difference the size difference makes. Between the smaller bezels and the increased screen size, this feels like a completely different device. The bigger brighter screen just makes consuming all forms of media a much better experience. I did not opt for the “Productivity Package” because, candidly, I just cannot see using this device for work stuff. The point of Fire devices, at least for me, is to just have an inexpensive entertainment machine. Again, I hate to dismiss the idea without trying it but I just do not think a RealTek processor is capable of creating a really robust experience for work and it doesn’t matter how many free Microsoft apps you get thrown into the deal. At just over $200, I am perfectly fine with this. I embrace what Amazon has created here. One other important note: If you have an old Fire device, like the HDX lying around, Amazon gives you 20% off here and $15 for the device, assuming it is still operational. That was a $60 savings for me which is much more than the device was worth. The HD 10 Plus is a well-made high value device that makes entertainment on the fly easy. Whether you want to watch something on Amazon or HBO, do some gaming, fire off some emails, or just surf around the net, this 10.1” Fire tablet will put a smile on your face. I will update this review as I go here but, at least for me, this is an easy recommendation. Nice work to the Amazon team here yet again!*Update* So it has been over a week and I am more pleased than I was initially. This is exactly what I wanted. The screen is really good. I no longer miss my S21 Ultra when watching video during my elliptical sessions. It is also snappier than I thought initially. Moving around the tablet and interacting with various apps feels more responsive than the last 8 to me for sure. Amazon does include the AAC codec here so Apple users will have optimized audio when listening to music. I finally found that information. All and all, for the price, I continue to be amazed. Will update further but buy with complete confidence.

I have owned many different kindle fire devices over the years from the Kindle fire 7 (one of the first generations) to now having the Kindle Fire HD 10 plus. The newest HD 10 plus tablet by amazon is the second Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet I have owned and it doesn't disappoint. I have only used it for a few hours so far but the screen quality, performance, and battery life seems like a big step up compared to the 9th generation HD 10 tablet.

Performance:
- Ram has been doubled to 4gb for the newest 11th generation
- This allows for more multi-tasking without bogging down your system
- I plan to update this section again once I have had more time to do more tasks that require high ram usage

Screen Quality
- First thoughts when I saw the screen was "WOW"
- The previous generation had a decent looking screen but the newest generation appears to have a much better build quality at first glance
- I have not had a chance to watch any videos yet so will update this again after I have had more time with it

Battery Life:
- So far, the battery life has been amazing and it even seems better than the previous generation despite the claim of it lasting the same time
- I would contribute this to the double ram that has been put in the HD 10 plus.

Case:
- The 9th generation cases do not work the newest generation Kindle Fire HD 10.
- As can be seen in the description for the newest tablet, it is supposed to be slimmer.

In conclusion, this is an amazing tablet for anyone that is looking for a budget-friendly device that won't break the bank but can still offer a lot of functionality. This is not an android tablet and it doesn't claim to be. On YouTube, you can find a workaround in order to get the Google app store and it is very easy to do so. I would highly recommend this tablet to anyone.

Update (1 week of use):
- I will try to keep this update as short as possible and try to provide as much insight over the past week from my personal experience. This is the best Kindle Fire Amazon has released. I opted to go with the 32GB version of the HD 10 Plus because I don't download a lot of games plus I had a 64GB SD card to go along with it.
- Performance: 4GB of RAM is plenty to provide a smooth gaming experience especially for a tablet. The majority of my screen time personally is spent watching "The Flash" (currently) on Netflix. There is no lag to anything I have done. The transition from one app to another is smooth.
- Screen Quality: Watching shows on Netflix has been a great experience. There's not much to comment on. You are limited to a 1080p screen but don't let that deter you. The quality is still excellent for watching movies.
- Battery Life: I have used the tablet probably 2-3 hours a day and have only needed to charge it once. It really seems to hold up well from day to day usage. I hope that the battery will continue to hold up and not degrade as quickly as the previous tablets did.
- In conclusion, everything I mentioned in my first review stands. I really enjoy this tablet given the improvement in performance and overall build quality. I would still recommend this tablet to everyone, specially people that do not want to spend several hundred dollars on a Samsung or Apple tablet. I will continue to provide updates as I delve deeper into the heart of the Kindle Fire HD 10 plus.

I have owned many different kindle fire devices over the years from the Kindle fire 7 (one of the first generations) to now having the Kindle Fire HD 10 plus. The newest HD 10 plus tablet by amazon is the second Kindle Fire HD 10 tablet I have owned and it doesn't disappoint. I have only used it for a few hours so far but the screen quality, performance, and battery life seems like a big step up compared to the 9th generation HD 10 tablet.

Performance:
- Ram has been doubled to 4gb for the newest 11th generation
- This allows for more multi-tasking without bogging down your system
- I plan to update this section again once I have had more time to do more tasks that require high ram usage

Screen Quality
- First thoughts when I saw the screen was "WOW"
- The previous generation had a decent looking screen but the newest generation appears to have a much better build quality at first glance
- I have not had a chance to watch any videos yet so will update this again after I have had more time with it

Battery Life:
- So far, the battery life has been amazing and it even seems better than the previous generation despite the claim of it lasting the same time
- I would contribute this to the double ram that has been put in the HD 10 plus.

Case:
- The 9th generation cases do not work the newest generation Kindle Fire HD 10.
- As can be seen in the description for the newest tablet, it is supposed to be slimmer.

In conclusion, this is an amazing tablet for anyone that is looking for a budget-friendly device that won't break the bank but can still offer a lot of functionality. This is not an android tablet and it doesn't claim to be. On YouTube, you can find a workaround in order to get the Google app store and it is very easy to do so. I would highly recommend this tablet to anyone.

Update (1 week of use):
- I will try to keep this update as short as possible and try to provide as much insight over the past week from my personal experience. This is the best Kindle Fire Amazon has released. I opted to go with the 32GB version of the HD 10 Plus because I don't download a lot of games plus I had a 64GB SD card to go along with it.
- Performance: 4GB of RAM is plenty to provide a smooth gaming experience especially for a tablet. The majority of my screen time personally is spent watching "The Flash" (currently) on Netflix. There is no lag to anything I have done. The transition from one app to another is smooth.
- Screen Quality: Watching shows on Netflix has been a great experience. There's not much to comment on. You are limited to a 1080p screen but don't let that deter you. The quality is still excellent for watching movies.
- Battery Life: I have used the tablet probably 2-3 hours a day and have only needed to charge it once. It really seems to hold up well from day to day usage. I hope that the battery will continue to hold up and not degrade as quickly as the previous tablets did.
- In conclusion, everything I mentioned in my first review stands. I really enjoy this tablet given the improvement in performance and overall build quality. I would still recommend this tablet to everyone, specially people that do not want to spend several hundred dollars on a Samsung or Apple tablet. I will continue to provide updates as I delve deeper into the heart of the Kindle Fire HD 10 plus.

I love my new Fire HD 10 Plus, far more than I would have thought.

I'm a longtime Android user who, when it comes to tablets, gravitates to flagship devices from the big companies. I actually had my eyes set on the new Lenovo Tab P11 Pro. But my husband managed to convince me to go with the Fire HD largely because, even with the Memorial Day discount of 25% one P11 costs more than two Fire HDs. And there was a lot to like in these tablets: wireless charging and the fancy new keyboard case. And if you aren't going to pay for a family plan, the Office 365 deal is really good.

In your hands, its positive attributes really shine, and the corners they cut are either manageable or sort of charming.

The build quality is quite good, given the materials. You can't use a metal body with wireless charging, so plastic makes sense. Higher end tablets use glass, but I don't mind the plastic here, especially the soft-touch finish on the Plus model. It feels well put-together and sturdy (I recently tried a cheap Windows tablet that was made of similar materials and felt like it would come apart in my hands.)

The processor is old and underpowered, but it feels quite snappy to me. Granted, I'm not much of a mobile gamer, so the most taxing thing I ask it to do is play a podcast or music while I work on a Word document. There is an occasional stutter, but it's hard to know when it's the tablet showing its weakness or an internet bottleneck. The swiftness of the interface is almost certainly the result of the on board 4gb of ram, which give the processor space to maneuver.

The screen resolution is HD, technically, but not very high. I have had older tablets with higher pixel density, and that's a shame. But I'm very impressed with the screen otherwise, and the low density is easy to ignore after some time. But where it really shines is consistency—none of the light bleeding, weird bright spots, or dead or bad pixels that you would expect on a cheap LCD. Indeed, the colors are vivid, and the blacks almost shockingly deep for a non-OLED display. You will certainly find better on a more expensive tablet, but not that much better.

The low pixel density and older CPU, it turns out, give the HD 10 excellent battery life. I charged it last evening and today, after a morning of near constant use, it's only down to 75%. This is with the screen brightness set to a reasonable 50% (I will never understand how people can have it set to full brightness—it's like looking at the sun).

My two biggest gripes are to do with the software.

Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful. Amazon did a great job adapting Android's core to fit their needs and, for the most part, it's perfectly consistent. For the most part, you won't notice that the Android core they're using is based on Android 9, which in a few months will be a full three generations behind with the release of Android 12. It makes sense for Fire OS to lag a bit, but sheesh.

Amazon services really shine here. Kindle books, Audible audio books, Amazon Movies, Amazon Music and, of course, Alexa are all great and modern, as you would expect.

I do find the occasional issue with the operating system or an Amazon app that requires the tablet to switch to portrait mode, for reasons that beggar the imagination. I understand that (super irritating) behavior in third party apps, but you would think Amazon would be able to make their software work better for their own device. Why must it switch to portrait mode to change the wallpaper, of all things? Or the Fire TV app only work in portrait like it's a phone?

It must come as no surprise that third party apps is by far the weakest part of the Kindle Fire experience.

When Amazon first released its Appstore it did so with the ethos that it would be known for quality over quantity, and their app catalog seemed to have almost all the apps I used regularly on my phone. I haven't used the Appstore until getting this tablet so I'm kind of shocked at the state of things.

If you read a review of any Amazon device you will almost certainly read about the paucity of apps available. But what no one seems to mention is the decline in quality, and just how out of date everything is. It feels like walking around a store in a mall as it's going out of business. The apps that are available are sometimes *years* behind their Google Play equivalents. It seems the developers added their app to Amazon's Appstore then just abandoned it.

I guess I get it. Google's Play Services provide a lot of great tools for developers and it's probably irritating to try to develop two different versions of the same Android app (to say nothing of then developing for iOS). My concern is that the Appstore will continue to atrophy, and even newer apps will fade away. Microsoft recently added their Office apps, and that's great, but I can already see them falling behind. Moreover, for reasons that I can't understand, they didn't include everything: no Microsoft To Do app (as a side note, it works great if you sideload it).

This evaluation is just of the apps that are okay from reputable developers. There is now a LOT of app detritus: terrible, poorly made, amateurish apps, the kind that Google and Apple seemed to allow just so they could brag about how many apps they had in their respective stores.

What happened to the Appstore?? Amazon, one of the wealthiest companies in the world, can, and should, do better.

I suppose the bottom line is hardware is good; Amazon apps are great; the state of third party apps are alarming. But it's a great tablet that is well worth the money.
