It is certainly possible to get other Android apps onto this tablet. If you like watching Apple TV+, you won't do it here. If you want to communicate over Signal or Slack, there's no app for that. Both of our standard test games, Alto's Odyssey and Genshin Impact, are missing, as are the benchmarking apps we use for tests. It has Discord, Minecraft, and Roblox Microsoft Office and a bunch of Office-like apps and Hulu, Netflix, Paramount+, and Sling TV.īut there are no Google apps, including YouTube. That means Android developers have to separately submit their applications to Amazon's store, and many haven't done that.

Amazon tablets don't have Google Play or any other Google apps, because Amazon is trying to position itself as a Google competitor. Right now, Amazon's limited app store is most of what holds its tablets back. The tablet has a USB-C port and a standard headphone jack. Roblox is playable here but can be jerky. The older action game Riptide GP2 stuttered on the Fire HD 8, but played smoothly on this HD 10. It doesn't have a gaming GPU, but stick to older, casual, or lower-res games and you'll be fine. The P60T provides enough power to play videos and audiobooks, display Kindle books, do Alexa stuff, make Zoom calls, and run some basic games. It's relatively easy to pop two apps onto the screen at once, something I found very helpful when I was writing my Fire HD 10 Productivity review. More RAM enables a new split-screen feature. This is the first Amazon tablet on which I never experienced a slowdown or stutter. That makes for a much more fluid experience switching apps, especially if you're using productivity apps such as Microsoft Office. It also comes with 3GB of RAM, more than the 2GB in the Fire HD 8 and the 2019 HD 10. On the overall PCMark Work 3.0 benchmark, the HD 10 scored 5376, far better than the HD 8's 4290. (I didn't run comparisons with the Fire 7 because it's very slow, has only 1GB of RAM, and couldn't complete any of our benchmark tests.) It delivers about 50% better web browsing performance than the chip in the Fire HD 8 model, according to the Basemark Web benchmark-a significant, noticeable improvement. I have more details on that in my Fire HD 10 Kids review.Īmazon powers the 2021 Fire HD 10 with Mediatek's Helio P60T, the same processor that's in the 2019 Fire HD 10. A subscription service, Amazon Kids+, delivers a steady stream of books, comics, and videos for kids ages 3–12. You can assign only specific content to kids' profiles restrict the hours they use the tablet, the amount they use it, and what kind of content they use for how long and look over their web history. You can create different adult and child profiles. One of the Fire HD 10's strengths is support for multiple user profiles and parental controls. (Of course, if a smart display is all you need, you can save a little money by getting an Echo Show 8.) Hands-free Alexa usage is supported, and a toggle will put the tablet into Show mode, which turns it into an Alexa smart display that shows timers, song lyrics, and recipes. Press it and you get a device dashboard with all of your Alexa-enabled smart home gadgets and Alexa routines. In the lower left corner of the interface, there's a little house icon. For You is a slightly annoying algorithm-generated stack of things you've used recently followed by things Amazon would like you to buy based on what you've previously used. Library is a stack of carousels of different kinds of content you've downloaded from Amazon: Kindle books, audiobooks, apps, Prime Video, Amazon Music playlists. Home is the app grid you expect from any Android device. Unlike on other tablets, you can't add widgets or customize the interface. Where it used to have a launcher with types of content across the top-books, video, etc.-there are now three main tabs: For You, Home, and Library. Its interface has been radically simplified.

If you're listening to music, watching videos, or taking a long video call, take advantage of the standard 3.5mm headphone jack or Bluetooth headset support, both of which deliver nice clear audio.Īmazon's Fire OS 7 is based on Android 9, but with Google services largely replaced by Amazon services. Music also has a bit of a space-filling sound to it because of the physical separation of the two speakers, though it's really tinny when I was listening to the Killers' 'All The Things That I've Done,' for example, the high-hat and organ were almost inaudible. The dual stereo speakers are acceptably loud, giving a 96.3dB reading at six inches from the tablet.
