Our take on the Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet (Newest Model)
The Fire HD 10 is Amazon's largest mainstream tablet, built around a 10.1-inch 1080p display, an octa-core processor and 3 GB of RAM. It is aimed at streaming, reading, browsing and light apps rather than heavy gaming or creative work. Against rivals like the Samsung Galaxy Tab A and Lenovo Tab, it leans on Amazon's ecosystem and hands-free Alexa instead of Google Play. Owners generally find it solid for the basics, but the app selection and Amazon-first home screen are the usual sticking points.
- 10.1-inch 1080p screen is sharp for the size
- Octa-core chip and 3 GB RAM handle everyday apps
- Hands-free Alexa works without pressing a button
- Expandable storage via microSD
- Amazon ecosystem ties in Prime Video, Kindle and Music

What reviewers say
Reviewers and owners treat the Fire HD 10 as a good-value media and reading tablet. Most praise the screen and Alexa, while complaining about the Amazon-first software and the lack of Google apps.
- DisplayPraisedOwners say the 1080p screen is bright and sharp enough for streaming and reading.
- App selectionCriticisedReviewers note that without Google Play, some apps and services are unavailable or need workarounds.
- SoftwareMixedThe Amazon-first home screen and preinstalled apps are convenient for Prime users but feel pushy to others.
Questions and answers
- Is the Fire HD 10 good for watching video?
- Yes. The 10.1-inch 1080p screen and stereo speakers suit streaming, and Prime Video is built in. It is one of the tablet's strongest uses.
- Can I install Google Play apps on it?
- Not out of the box. It runs Amazon's Appstore, so some Google-dependent apps are missing or need side-loading, which is not officially supported.
- How does it compare with the Fire HD 8?
- The HD 10 has a larger, sharper 1080p screen, more RAM and an octa-core chip. The HD 8 is smaller and lighter but lower resolution.
- Is 32GB enough storage?
- It is fine for streaming and browsing, since video is streamed rather than stored. For downloaded films, music and games, a microSD card adds room.
- Does it work with Alexa hands-free?
- Yes. Alexa responds without a button press, so you can ask for weather, timers, music or smart-home controls.
- Is it good for kids?
- It works as a family tablet, and Amazon offers parental controls and a kids' profile. The larger size makes it less portable for small children than the HD 8.
