moreWell said! 😃👍👏 I too am neither poor nor rich, but I know bloody good value for money when I see it. Navynuke, Wow! I'm guessing you haven't actually tried one, since you are so vehemently opposed to it, u. Should you buy this tablet? Yes, but if you have a little more money to spare, there are vastly better options from Samsung and Apple. The future: I plan to trade this in when Amazon releases the new version of this, but I could see this lasting all the way up till possibly 2021 in terms of usability, but past that it'll be nearly impossible.įinal verdict: The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a great value tablet, with many added features to this generation that make it very worthwhile, especially if you are heavily invested into Amazon's services. It'll be a cheaper tablet, and will shift money towards more valuable aspects of it (Battery, screen, performance, ect.) If Amazon isn't going to improve these cameras, please just remove them all together. For most it'll probably be fine, though.Ĭamera: The cameras on this are bad. Not sure if it's my poor charging habits, but I have to keep it on power saver all the time to preserve its battery. Try to do more powerful things like extremely graphical games, it'll slow down a lot.īattery: The battery is mediocre. If you're not tech savvy, it'll be fine for web browsing and basic to moderate games. However, the scuffs on the edges can be very unsightly (if you drop it), but not a big deal. There is also a raised lip around the entire screen that protrudes quite a bit, which I think is a really smart addition. I've dropped it multiple times and it hasn't cracked. All I can say is that this is the Nokia of tablets. It's also why parents love this tablet for children. Durability: This is one of the main reasons why you should buy one. Although, I think it helps it more than takes away from it, and you'll see why when you read below this. I warn you to keep it in a case or it will have dozens of small scratches in no time. Build quality: It's plastic, and is kind of creaky when you press it on, but not a big deal. The ads and special offers aren't very welcomed either, but it's a cost saving measure, so I can understand why Amazon does this. You could also tinker with it a bit more and root it if you want. To counteract this, I sideloaded the Google play store. For people into Amazon's services, it's completely fine, but I personally use many Google apps, and those aren't available on Fire tablets because of a different app store. My 2017 Kindle Fire 7 has better calibrated whites than this. My only problem with this display though is that the whites are leaning more toward the warmer side. It gets reasonable bright, and is all around good. Final verdict: Good value, but for a little more $$$ you can get a better tablet.ĭisplay: The display is really nice for this price point. Performance? Meh, it'll do for most, but not good for power users. OS? Perfectly fine if you don't use many apps or use Amazon's services a lot. After about 1 and a half years of use, here's my verdict on it. I bought this tablet during Christmas 2017.
