With a 10.1-inch panel on its front, the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019) certainly has the space to give your content a little breathing room. Colors can be cold and it can suffer from glare.Although it won’t survive the dedicated attention of the average three year old, at this price it can be easily replaced. In all, this is a tablet designed to hold up against a life in the living room and bedroom, and this it does with aplomb.
On the rear, aside from the logo you'll find another small camera, while the top edge of the Fire HD 10 holds a 3.5mm headphone jack (hooray), and the power and volume buttons. While USB-C wins many plaudits for being reversible, our love for the standard comes from its durability, as the port is stronger in design than micro USB and so therefore more likely to survive across prolonged usage.

For those of us who mostly see USB-C devices in their lives, and who hang on to a single solitary micro USB cable against the off-chance that some antediluvian tech will arrive, it is further cause to go full USB-C. The sole bit of branding present is an Amazon ‘swoosh’ on the rear, colored the same as the body itself, the very definition of tasteful understatement.Īnd as noted before, this tablet charges via USB-C, which is very much a win for quality of life. It has a 10.1-inch display dominating its front, flanked by a small webcam and covered with hardened glass - though there's no word on the make. You’ll feel no qualms about lobbing it onto the sofa when you’ve finished using it. The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019) is certainly that, however it is comfortable and can withstand a little bit of punishment in the process. These are devices made for the sofa, for a bleary-eyed commute - and as such have a little more leeway than normal to be just a bit boring. Lastly, there’s a new octa-core chipset under the hood powering things along, accompanied by 2GB of RAM, which is the bare minimum of what we would expect from a tablet in the present. How much mileage you get from this will depend on how baked-in you are to Amazon’s ecosystem, and how much you depend on this ‘smart’ tech. We didn’t receive a dock, and so cannot test this part, however the feature still works the same when plugged into the wall. With a compatible dock attached, this allows your tablet to serve as a smart display - charging and displaying information at the same time. We also have the return of ‘Show’ mode, which is another attempt by the firm to push its almost-omnipresent ‘Alexa’ digital assistant. In addition to allowing for a reversible connection (which is always nice when fumbling with cables in the dark), this also allows for improved compatibility with a host of different accessories. The first is a win for those who enjoy modern ports, the micro USB charging has finally been consigned to the dustbin of history, and instead we have the indisputably superior USB-C charging. That is to say, Amazon came upon a particular utilitarian design language when it first introduced the Fire line of tablets, and it has doggedly stuck to it since.ĭespite this, there are a few changes with the latest model worth crowing about, though whether they constitute discrete ‘features’ in themselves is open to interpretation. On the surface of it, the new Amazon Fire HD 10 feels immediately like its predecessors.
