Verdict

The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2017) is a budget-friendly tablet featuring a 10.1-inch 1080p Full HD IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and 224 ppi. It is powered by a 1.8GHz quad-core MediaTek processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 256GB via microSD. Key pros include its sharp and bright display, solid 10-hour battery life, and the introduction of hands-free Alexa support for easy voice commands. However, it suffers from slow charging times via its micro-USB port, mediocre 2MP rear and VGA front cameras, and a heavily locked-down Fire OS that lacks native access to the Google Play Store.
