We’re giving the 2019 Fire HD 10 the win here as we think it will continue to get software updates for longer going forward. While the software experience is likely to be identical, the older Fire HD 10 may not be supported for much longer.

The Fire HD 10 is a much more attractive prospect if you’re a Prime member because you get access to TV shows, movies, books, music, and more for free, but you can also install big apps like Netflix and there are various premium channel options you can subscribe to. It’s very easy to use, but it’s also very much geared toward the Amazon ecosystem.

It’s based on an older version of Android and it comes without Google’s Play Store, so you get access to the more limited library of apps and games in the Amazon Appstore.

#AMAZON FIRE HD 10 VS 10 PLUS UPGRADE#
Amazon hasn’t bothered to upgrade the main, rear-facing camera here, but it has slightly improved the front-facing camera from VGA to HD 720p, which will come in handy if you plan to use your Fire HD 10 for video calls. Winner: Tie Camera Julian Chokkattu/Digital TrendsĮven though Amazon offers free, unlimited cloud storage for the photos you take with the Fire HD 10 tablet, we don’t recommend using the 2-megapixel camera if you want to get good shots - your phone is going to be much more capable. At $150, this is still a good quality screen. The big bezels around the screen make these tablets feel somewhat dated, but you have to factor in the price. It is bright, sharp, and colorful enough to watch movies or play games on. For comparison, the latest iPad has a 264 ppi display. Both tablets have a 10.1-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, which translates to 224 pixels per inch (ppi). The screen was always the highlight of the original Fire HD 10, so it’s not a big surprise that Amazon has chosen to leave it as is.

Amazon claims the new Fire HD 10 is four times as durable as the latest iPad Pro in “tumble tests,” but a case is always advisable. Neither of these tablets is going to survive submersion in water, but the plastic body ensures they are fairly durable. The new tablet also comes in a different range of colors, including white. The 2019 model has upgraded to USB-C rather than Micro USB. The power and volume controls are on the top edge when you hold the tablet in portrait, with the charging port and the 3.5mm audio port in between them. The bezels look big compared to most other devices today. You’ve still got a 10.1-inch screen with thick bezels and a matte plastic back that curves around the edges. The design of the Fire HD 10 has not changed much, if at all. The charger in the box will take four hours to refill your battery, but with a 15W charger and the right USB-C to C cable you can knock that down to three hours. The 2017 Fire HD 10 took five hours to charge up via the fiddly Micro USB port the 2019 Fire HD 10 has an always-right-side-up USB-C port that will charge it much quicker. Perhaps more important in the battery department is the fact that Amazon has finally made the leap to USB-C. The newer Fire HD 10 also boasts more stamina, with Amazon suggesting it’s capable of 12 hours of mixed use, compared to 10 hours for its predecessor. Both tablets have just 2GB of RAM, so multitasking capability is limited and switching in and out of apps may not be as swift as you’d like.
Amazon says it’s 30% faster than the older chip.
That means it’s going to be significantly faster, more capable of running the latest games, and smoother in general navigation. The aging 1.8GHz, quad-core processor that was in the original Fire HD 10, has been replaced with an 2GHz, octa-core processor in the Fire HD 10 (2019).
