With that caveat out of the way, the Fire HD 10 Plus offers a lot of bang for your buck, especially if you like the idea of docking it when not in use to turn it into a screen-toting smart assistant. If you’re a very casual user that’s knee deep in Amazon’s own ecosystem then you might be fine without Google’s cavalcade of apps and services, but you’ll more than likely still find the Amazon Appstore missing a few vital apps. Trying to stretch it beyond that is asking for a poor experience. Fire products are solely meant to be media consumption devices. Even if it DID have one, the specs are so low that the writing experience would likely be a very laggy affair. Starting from £179.99 for the 32GB version with screensaver ads, the Fire HD 10 Plus is a very compelling package and could easily fill the role of a primary tablet in its own right – assuming you’re willing to load up the Google Play Store. And any device without one is not a good candidate for note taking on a regular basis. We ended up turning the screen off accidentally on more than one occasion when gaming, thanks to accidentally pressing the power button with our palm. Our only major gripe is the placement of the power and volume buttons, which are on the righthand side in landscape mode. Throw in a 3.5mm audio jack, USB-C charging port and a microSD slot for expandable storage and you’ve got a very capable tablet in your hands. Power users will obviously churn through it faster, but you can rest easy that it’ll comfortably last you an entire day, even with very heavy use. After three days of regular use (including gaming, Netflix, TikTok and a bit of reading), the battery dropped down to just under 50 per cent. As for battery life, Amazon promises up to 12 hours per charge and that falls pretty much in line with our experience. Things get even better on the sound front, with dual stereo Dolby Atmos-powered speakers, which pack an impressively loud and clear punch, with a wide surround sound effect to boot. You might skip the occasional frame during demanding scenes, but on the whole, everything is perfectly playable. It could be a little brighter for outside use, mind, but overall, you’ll be happy with it (despite those rather large bezels).ĭespite getting a boost to 4GB of RAM and keeping the quad-core processor, we're happy to report that the Fire HD 10 Plus breezes through demanding games such as Asphalt 9: Legends and Call Of Duty: Mobile with minimal fuss, even with both games cranked to their highest graphics settings.

But, remembering the price, this is a perfectly pleasant display, which is plenty sharp enough to enjoy content on. Does it have a fancy OLED panel with HDR powers? No, sir.

Is it the sharpest tablet display out there? No. Combined with its lightweight build, this is a tablet that’s comfortable to hold and use for extended periods.įlip it round and you’re greeted with a 10.1in Full HD screen. Its rear is clad in a delightfully grippy smooth matte rubber-like finish, in a rather fetching dark grey colour. For the money, it obviously can’t match the premium metal build of its iPad rivals, but that’s not to say it’s a hulking monster. Nailing the basicsĪs for everything else, the Fire HD 10 Plus provides little reason to complain. If you pay extra for Amazon’s wireless charging dock ( £49.99), your Fire HD 10 Plus transforms into a genuine Show device when not in use, all without having to worry about plugging it in to charge each time. In this mode, it can display the weather, photos, calendar entries for the day, to-do lists and more, while letting you video call other Show users too. This is a pretty powerful feature, because you’re provided with value even when the tablet’s propped up on a table.
