Apple’s iPad 2021, for comparison’s sake, earned a score of 3,387 on the same test, but starts at $329. The Fire HD 10 Plus earned a score of 1,399 on the GeekBench 5 multicore benchmark, soundly outpacing the Fire HD 10 (969), but lagging behind the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7(1,405). I took Asphalt 9 for a spin and while performance didn’t feel as lackluster as we saw on the Fire HD 10, loading could feel interminable at times, and the frame rate drops regularly when the onscreen action gets especially intense. Things were decidedly less fluid when more horsepower was required. It’s capable enough for casual usage, and I flipped through menus and fired up music and videos with nary a hitch.

The headphone jack and Bluetooth connectivity will come in handy, if you’re looking for the best audio experience. Crank it up too far, and the experience starts to suffer, as the sound take on an unpleasant, tinny wharble. Leaving the volume set to about the middle of the tablet’s range produced the best results, from the percussive “oomph” of instruments to dialogue in a TV show.

The Fire HD 10 Plus’ speakers are less impressive, but the tablet is still punching above its weight class. It’s worth the expense, though variants without ads seem to suffer from availablity issues (a situation I frequently encounter while shopping for Kindles) you can pay a fee to remove those after the fact, if you don’t want to wait.Į-readers are light and compact, and a proper e-ink dispaly will offer a much better reading experience, but at this price the versatility of a real tablet (albeit one limited to Fire OS) feels worth the compromise. The base model serves up ads on the lockscreen, and you’ll need to pay $15 to get a model that’s ad-free.

You can double the storage capacity to 64GB for $219.99, but the tablet supports up to 1TB microSD cards, which could prove to be a better deal - especially if there are sales. The Fire HD 10 Plus starts at $179.99 for the 32GB model. Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus review: Price and availability But if you’re willing to accept a few compromises, maybe that’s okay: the Fire HD 10 Plus offers stellar battery life, a decent display, and enough performance to make for a great value. The performance isn’t going to be on par with premium devices, and it’s a little bland, aesthetically.

You’re still stuck with Amazon’s FireOS, which means limited access to Android apps.
