Amazon’s large-screen tablet “Fire HD 10” 11th generation review!

What kind of devices are you using to watch videos?
Many of you probably watch YouTube on your smartphones.
However, many people feel that the screen is too small on a smartphone and they are not satisfied.

Do you know about affordable tablets that are very useful in such cases?

Actual Usage Experience

Screen and Resolution that Don’t Feel Out of Place When Watching Videos

The “Fire HD 10” has a higher resolution and is larger than other Amazon tablets.
Therefore, the screen is naturally easy to see and beautiful.

Of course, you can’t watch 4K videos or photos with higher resolutions, but it’s too much to ask for that with a tablet in this price range.

I watched anime on Amazon Prime Video while commuting using the “Fire HD 10”, and I didn’t feel any particular discomfort and was able to enjoy it comfortably.

Supports micro SD cards up to 1TB

Since it supports micro SD cards up to 1TB, you won’t have to worry about storage capacity even with a 32GB card if you utilize micro SD cards.

You can expand the range of uses by downloading a lot of Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Prime Music content.

Supports 2-Screen Display

The previous model only supported single-tasking, but the improved current model (11th generation) supports 2-screen display.

Being able to use two apps simultaneously, such as browsing while typing emails, is a nice feature!

Cannot Use Google Play Officially

The Fire tablet is developed and sold for Amazon services and content, so the use of rival Google’s services and content is not assumed.
Therefore, you cannot use Google Play officially.

Basically, you can only install apps from the Amazon Appstore.
There are often orthodox apps such as Instagram and Twitter, but there are many cases where apps available in the Google Play Store are not available.

In particular, Google apps such as YouTube and Google Maps are not available (there are some fakes).
You can use them via a browser, but it’s very troublesome.

Not a Tablet That Can Handle Gaming

As you can see from the specifications, it is not a tablet that can handle gaming properly.

In fact, it’s wrong to expect a tablet in the 10,000 yen range to be able to play games smoothly (laughs).
There are many game apps available in the Amazon Appstore, but there are only a few games that can be played comfortably without stress.

Summary

If you limit its use to certain purposes such as watching videos, it’s definitely worth it

Affordable “Fire HD 10” tablet

It’s not a tablet like Apple’s iPad that can play games smoothly or draw beautiful pictures.
Since the price is what it is, its strengths can only be demonstrated in limited uses, but conversely, if you limit its use, it offers incredible cost performance.

Personally, I plan to use it to watch Amazon Prime Video videos while commuting.
Even if the storage capacity is small, you can download a lot of videos to the tablet by using a micro SD card.

It is also recommended for giving to children as it is cheap and durable.
