Amazon Fire HD 10 (2024) Review | Best Budget Tablet?
Ғылым және технология
Reviewing Amazon's Fire HD 10 Tablet (13th Generation), fresh for 2024 with a UK price under £200. This affordable Fire OS device is ideal for families or keeping kids entertained, but the Amazon Fire HD 10 also makes some compromises to hit that budget cost.
If you haven't used one of these tablets before, you can expect a heavy emphasis of Amazon's own apps and services. If you don't use the likes of Prime Video, there are always alternatives - the Fire HD 10 2024 supports Netflix, Disney Plus, iPlayer etc. But note that there's no love for Google on that apps library!
You've got the Alexa assistant baked into the Amazon Fire HD 10 13th generation tablet, with Show Mode to turn it into a handy smart display or digital photo frame. You can also get gaming, although the Mediatek chipset is rather basic so expect juddery performance from more demanding games.
Battery life is respectable, offering ten hours of mixed use or video streaming. The Amazon Fire HD 10 also offers keyboard and stylus support, if you have extra cash for those accessories. Here in the UK it's £142 for the base model, with more added on for an ad-free experience and more storage.
So that's the Amazon Fire HD 10 2024 model, check out my reviews of the other best tablets right now!

I have an 11th gen Fire tablet and it's been absolutely terrific for watching movies and reading e-books. And yes, I've read all of Chris Barraclough's books. I even paid for some of them!😁
Holy cow Chris I had no idea you were a writer as well, definitely checking out your books!
Thks to upload Sir. Here in Japan there's a sales off this weekend and price is 14980 japanese Yen (around GBP 78,55).
You kept that book thing quiet, whoa.
I love my Amazon fire 10 . My daughter has her own fire 10 kids version
Great review, I’m thinking of getting Dad one ✌🏾
Great Stuff Chris 😊

Mrng Chris, nice to see a fellow Sunderland lad doin well on you tube, Been watching your channel for a while now mate...🥃
i've had several Fire tablets... Chris hit it spot on. they're fine for reading, watching a video, & basic games. they're cheap AF and quite frankly they're fine for just basic uses. i'd certainly give it to anyone who isn't super techy and you're concerned about them trashing it or just doesn't care that it's pretty slow.

I got HD 10 maybe 4 yrs ago for my kid with ASD, its been thrown at all times but still working right now, the casing was damage but it still work, a bit of crack on one edge :-)
My wife's had a Fire tablet for years and it's still going strong and working well for the basic use it gets, mostly watching movies, etc. through the browser. I belive that it's possible to load some Google services too if you know how. Details on the web
Thanks for the upload! Amazon is delivering mine today. It’ll be my first tablet. Not really planning to use it for gaming. I enjoy basic things like watching movies/youtube videos, social media, etc. I think this will be PERFECT for me just based on your review.

what in the 2013 are those bezels
It's very durable (I tried breaking one intentionally, wasn't easy!). And the sound is amazing- It's very surround.
Just because Amazon Store doesn't include a KZread App doesn't mean you can't get it !!! I downloaded it from Google and now I have KZread with no Adverts on my New Fire 10. I don't bother with the Games, I use my X Box Series X for them !!!
Considering getting one of these for my toddler son rather than the "kids version" do they have options to lock the screen while watching video
I have a kindle fire HD 10!
If only Amazon can integrate this tablet with a Kindle e-reader, i.e. a "Kindle Fire" hybrid with switchable OLED/E-ink acreen (able to turn transparent like under-display selfie cameras) so that one can watch videos in full colour 60hz like normal, then switch to a more comfy paper-like display for books and manga. One can dream 😂

Another one? Fire OS still based on Android 11 though. How long can Amazon get away with releasing tablets with software from 2021? Don't get wrong I own a Fire HD 10 and it's great for watching KZread and basic Office 365 use (though it can be a bit slow at times) but come on Amazon, it's time to start basing Fire OS on Android 12 now. Give us proper multitasking and the ability to record the screen and take screenshots.
I was looking for a simple yet affordable tablet in like a 10" for my senior mom who just wants to play games on and nothing else so the Amazon Fire would not be a good fit. Any suggestions please? I appreciate it
Does anyone use it for taking notes for uni? Is it worth it for that usage? Thank you!
Can you put KZread on it?
Still no GPS functionality? Thats a deal-breaker for me.
I had this for a few years before switching to lenovo. I did like it for the time but their were so many limitations compared to ipad and android tablets. If it didint have those limitations and some m ore optoiions to it i may have kept and its useless if you dont have an amazon account.

Can pay to remove them, or if you have a computer and know how to USB debug the device using developer options, you can find ADB commands that allow you to remove them for free.
My issue with the Fire tablets is that they take years to get 100% full battery.
@franklingoodwin

True. That's why you use a 15w charger instead of the 9w one they put in the box. Amazon also have misleading specs when it comes to charging. It says on their website it charges at 9w which technically is true if you use their charger. But they should probably mention you can use a 15w charger and shave around an hour off the charging time

@@wizzgamer I got it as an upgrade to the fire tab 10+ so i definitely know how good they used to be before the apple clone generation. It was on sale for almost 100 off so i was like f it... cant change the launcher, no headphone jack, the play store is and a lot of the non amazon app store apps have horrible ghost touches, etc. Used to be budget kings now they are just overpriced and somehow cheap junk.
I have an Amazon fire and its junk. I can't download my banking app and others I use often. This tablet will try everything to keep you in Amazon. If you accidentally get in Alexa, good luck on getting out. I have to reboot it. Do not get one.

I know the Amazon tablets are good for general use. However, I find their specs to be very minimal for the price. They could offer a better quality screen and at least access to the Play Store Ram is only 3 GB with awful amounts of internal storage. Even budget blowers seem to have much better specs than this.. In 2024, I feel that Amazon should be doing more in offering more in terms of performance and specs.

Specs to price ratio, Amazon offer the best specs if you buy them when they're on sale, which is like every 3 months. NEVER buy them at full price and you'll be more than happy.
