I wasn't able to compare them side-by-side, but I didn't have any trouble using the Fire HD 10 in bright light. It still sports a 1080p, 10.1-inch display, although Amazon claims it's 10 percent brighter than the 2019 model. The new Fire HD 10 has uniform bezels on all sides, but otherwise isn't much different on the outside. Still, with a keyboard and slightly better screen, the new Fire HD 10 is something like a netbook-a small, cheap, capable, go-anywhere device. The Fire HD 10 is still hamstrung by Amazon's Fire OS, which doesn't have the bevy of apps you'll find on Google's Play Store. Surprisingly, this turns out to be true as long as you don't need to use Google apps. Amazon is positioning the Fire HD 10 as a device you can get real work done on. Amazon has also added something it calls the Productivity Bundle, which consists of a Fire HD 10 tablet (3-GB RAM model), a Bluetooth keyboard case, and a 12-month subscription to Microsoft 365 (which automatically renews if you don't cancel it). There are now two variants, one with 3 gigabytes of RAM and a "Plus" model with 4 GB.

But it is cheap, decently powerful, and good enough for many of us.Īmazon's 2021 update to the 10-inch Fire HD 10 mirrors what we saw last year with the 8-inch model. The Fire HD 10 isn't the best tablet you're ever going to use.
