#AMAZON FIRE HD 10 REVIEW UPGRADE#

I think what they are trying to do is offer something that is really cheap ($229) so you can lock yourself into the Amazon walled garden, without having to spend the same type of money as you would on an iPad. Amazon seems to be bucking this trend with their 10.1 inch tablet, which is truly mind boggling. Normally when new tablets come out, each model is incrementally better than the last. You will primarily want to use it to store your music and video collections.

You can upgrade it to 128 GB, but keep in mind the Amazon e-reading app will not read e-books from the SD card. I think most people will really dig that this is one of the first Fire models to have an SD Card. The intense processing used to deal with the tiny, low-res sensor just makes your photos look quite unnatural. YouвЂ™re just not likely to end up wanting to frame any photos youвЂ™ve taken with the tablet.

Of course, the Amazon Fire HD 10 will still be better for video chat than a 4.5in phone no matter how good its selfie camera is. Unless you have a really bad, really old phone. On both sides, youвЂ™ll get better performance from your phone. ItвЂ™s basically the least youвЂ™ll see in any brand-name phone or tablet these days. The Amazon Fire HD 10 has a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a VGA one on the front. The audio experience is still quite good, but last years model was way better. Last years 8.9 HDX was likely the pinnacle of sound, but the Fire HD 10 pales in comparison. Amazon is one of the only companies to have a partnership with Dolby, so the speakers emit louder sound than virtually any other tablet on the market. I have always been very bullish about the sound quality on the entire line of Fire tablets, but the larger ones always seemed to feature bombastic audio. The other thing that suffered on the new model was the audio experience. The Fire HDX 8.9 model that came out last year was significantly better in this department with a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels with 339 PPI. One of the big drawbacks of this new 10.1 inch tablet is the overall clarity of the screen and the ability to play true HD content. The sound quality is quite respectable with the Dolby Audio system, which actually gives you better sound than most other tablets on the market, including the iPad. The Amazon Fire HD 10 has a resolution of 1280 x 800 underneath the hood it is running a 1.3 GHZ MediaTek MT8135 Quad Core processor with PowerVR Rogue G6200 graphics, 1GB RAM, 8Gb or 16GB internal storage, a pair of cameras (5MP and 1MP), Bluetooth, and Wifi.

The overall specs are fairly poor, but the price is right.

The old carousal is gone, and the main UI looks a bit cleaner, making it easier to shop for apps, audiobooks, e-books and other digital content. Amazon released their first 10.1 inch tablet a few months ago and people who owned prior models of the Fire tablet will notice some sweeping changes.
