The Fire HD 10 is Amazon’s best tablet. The current model dates from 2023, which means it likely will get some kind of update in 2025, but we don't expect anything more than a processor and RAM upgrade. The current Octa-core processor is plenty fast enough for everyday tasks like web browsing and watching movies, and the 3-GB of RAM helps in browsing the web with many tabs. The Fire HD 10 also has a full HD (1080p) screen, making it better for watching those Prime videos.
That said, this is not an iPad, or even a OnePlus Pad, and does not perform like one. It is primarily for delivering Amazon content to you, sitting on your couch. It can work like an Echo speaker too. Turn on Show Mode (swipe down on the notification overlay and check the Show Mode box) and you can query Alexa til your heart's content.
There are 32-GB and 64-GB models, with a microSD slot on both so you can add up to 1 TB of storage if you need more space. Whichever you choose, Amazon will serve up advertisements on the lock screen. To get rid of that, you'll need to spend $15 more for the version without “special offers.”
If you want to try using your Fire tablet as more than a tablet, there's a keyboard option as part of the Keyboard Case Bundle ($190). Working on the Fire HD 10 isn't as terrible as you might think, as long as you don't need Google apps. None of Google's office apps work on the Fire HD 10, not even in the browser. This latest Fire HD 10—and Max 11 below—support the Made for Amazon Stylus Pen ($35).
