In fact, if you’re looking for a cheap media tablet, I think they are great options. But of course, in this price range, it can’t be as bright as the much, much pricier iPad Pro or so.īecause the tablets have a Widevine Level of L1, you can use them to watch Netflix and other streaming services with HD resolution. However, when the sun turned, I wished it would be a tick brighter.

A couple of days ago I used the Fire HD 10 to work in a cafe and the screen was bright enough to use in the shadow. I do still own the older version and the difference is hard to see, but I guess those are the 10%. It seems to be an IPS panel with decent viewing angles and colors look fine.Īccording to Amazon, the screens are 10% brighter than their predecessor. The 11th generation of the Fire HD 10 and HD 10 Plus have the same 10.1-inch screen with a FullHD resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. With that being said, the 5-megapixel main camera on the back is a bit disappointing. Considering its price, photos and videos look fine. When holding the tablets in landscape orientation, there’s a 2-megapixel webcam right in the middle. On their sides, we get a microSD card slot, a standard headphone jack, and a USB C 2.0 port. With 9.2mm they’re quite thick and the weight of around 465g is alright. It’s supposed to be as robust as the standard one. With the Fire HD 10 Plus, however, we get a bit higher-end plastic which has a soft touch to it. The plastic body of the Fire HD 10 feels a bit cheap, like cheap plastic. That’s what Amazon says, I didn’t check it because I buy all these tablets myself and don’t want to destroy them.

While it’s a plastic body, it’s supposed to be 1.7 times as robust as the Apple iPad 8 when dropping it. We’re getting slimmer and symmetrical screen bezels now. Design & Built QualityĬompared to its predecessor, the 2021 generation has a much better design. For those 30 Dollars extra you’re getting 4GB instead of 3GB RAM, wireless charging support, and the body feels a bit higher-end. The standard version costs around 150 Dollars while you can pick up the Plus at around 180 Dollars. I reviewed the Amazon Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Plus together because they are very similar.
