![]() ![]() ![]() The charging port is Micro USB, which is less durable than USB-C and requires inserting the plug in the correct orientation. Two things I'm not to crazy about are the charging port and the cameras. The built-in WiFi worked fine on every connection I used, at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Full charge from 15 percent took about four hours. Amazon claims up to 10 hours, which I think is certainly doable at a slightly dimmer brightness setting. ![]() If that extrapolates out, it would mean I could watch somewhere between seven and eight hours of video on a charge. I watched a nearly hour-long episode of an Amazon series at about 80 percent brightness and used about 12 percent of the charge. The sound using the built-in stereo speakers is decent enough, but is very good with a decent set of headphones. The ambient light sensor works well and quickly adjusts for different lighting situations. I found it to be excellent for both working and watching movies. The screen has a polarizing filter to cut down on glare. The display is a 10.1" touch-screen with 1920 x 1200 resolution at 224 ppi. The response was quick and smooth no matter what I was doing with the device. but FireOS (an Amazon-customized version of Android) doesn't need it. With a Quad-Core at 1.8 GHz with 2 GB of RAM, it's hardly bleeding-edge. But the Kindle Fire HD 10 also has quick-and-easy access to all my Prime content, making it a good toy as well as a good tool.Īll in all, I'm very satisfied with the Fire HD 10's hardware. Pretty much any tablet can do those things. What I needed in a tablet was the ability to read books in various digital formats, an SSH client, a Web browser, and an email client. The reason that last part is important is because Prime includes lots of free movies, music, and other content that can easily be played on the Kindle, which is above all a gateway to all your Amazon content. My reasons were that it was an excellent tablet at its price point, it would do everything I needed to do with it, and I'm an Amazon Prime member. So I started looking around, and I decided to buy an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 10. In all honesty, I was pretty happy about it because it gave me an excuse to buy a new toy. I was looking for a good book on PHP to brush on up my skills, and the one I wanted wasn't available in a dead-tree edition. Well, that day came a couple of weeks ago. I always told myself that the first time I wanted to read a book that wasn't available on paper, I'd buy a tablet. I have a big-screen smart phone (an LG V20, to be exact) that works for things like checking email and such, and I still read paper books when I can. The big draw about buying an Amazon tablet is not the powerful specs but because you can buy one for 140 dollars.A lot of people fine this odd, but until last week, I never owned a tablet. The 2023 model should at least have a screen capable of watching 1080p videos and should have 4GB of RAM and max out at 64GB of storage. They have the best processor and most giant screens to consume content from Prime Video, Audible, Kindle Books and apps from the Amazon App Store. The Fire 10 tends to be Amazon’s most powerful tablet. I would not expect any big jumps in performance, as Amazon tends to do incremental updates. However, it supports WiFi 5, and Bluetooth LE has a microSD card reader and headphone jack and uses a USB-C port to charge and transfer data. The FCC documents keep the most basic hardware specs private, such as resolution, memory, storage or what type of processor it employs. They will likely have the base model and the Fire 10 Plus, their premium offering. Amazon filed an FCC application through one of its shell companies, the same one that filed for the Fire 10 Tablets that came out in 2020. They should be released sometime in the next month. Amazon is putting the finishing touches on two new Fire 10 tablets. ![]()
