For many years, Amazon has offered a variety of tablets. Because the value for money is hard to argue with, they have been many people’s first port of call when searching for the perfect tablet.
However, in recent versions, Amazon has attempted to take things to the next level. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus is a prime example of this, aiming to do something other than entertain.
Quick Overview
Amazon’s Fire HD 10 Plus is an attempt to shift the tablet’s focus from recreation to something far more constructive. While typing a Word document is simple, as is participating in video calls, the experience falls short of that of more capable tablets from Samsung and Apple. If efficiency is your prime objective, you should look elsewhere.
However, the Fire HD 10 Plus appears to be a device meant to cover all of these bases. It’s at its best when watching apps like Amazon Prime Video or Netflix, or when entertaining the kids with the games it provides. But it is capable of much more.
The real allure of the Plus is its wireless charging, so purchasing it only makes sense if you plan to use it in Show Mode as well. Otherwise, you could be better off with the normal Fire HD 10, which provides a similar experience for a lower price.
At first glance, the new generation of the Fire HD 10, which will be released in 2021, does not appear to have changed much. While the screen remains the same size and the device is built similarly to previous models, the dimensions have changed.
The new HD 10 has shortened the bezels at the finish of the display, similar to the redesign of the Fire HD 8 Plus, creating a more uniform look. It’s more appealing, more modern, and contributes to the advancement of this tablet line.
The design remains largely unchanged, with a polycarbonate back and gentle curves all around the edges.
This Plus model also does not have the same solid plastic as that of the prior generation. It has a softer touch and glossy buttons on the end, making it appear more premium.
It’s important to note that the regular Fire HD 10 (which is slightly cheaper) lacks such a premium finish – there seems to be something ‘plus’ to the Plus – but if you use a case, you won’t notice (or feel) that.
Final comments
Fire OS is not comparable to Android and is not a replacement for Apple’s iPadOS. Not only does it lack app support, but it is also less slick to use and does not feel as modern as the most recent iterations of many other platforms. Carry on watching films and shows and you’ll find it entirely capable, but once you try to use your tablet more vigorously, you’ll find it lacks the speed to compete with more expensive rivals.
