Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have purchased every Fire since the first generation launched in 2011, and every subsequent Fire Tablet created by Amazon was a substantial improvement over the previous one--until now. Fire HD 10 sacrifices everything that made Fire Tablets great for a simple 10-inch screen and micro SD card slot. It comes with an abysmal 149ppi pixilation, which is even lower than the first Fire released in 2011 (it had 169ppi pixilation). It has poor connectivity rate for Bluetooth devices and poor stability rate for internet connectivity, as well as a slower processing speed (1.5 GHz) than its predecessor. Unfortunately, Fire HD 10 fails in every area that matters for a Fire Tablet when it is compared with Fire HDX 8.9 (4th Generation): Fire HDX 8.9 (4th Generation) Fire HD 10 Pixilation: 339ppi Pixilation: 149ppi Processor: Quad-core 2.5 Ghz Processor: Quad-core 1.5 Ghz Battery Life: 12 hours Battery Life: 8 hours 8MP HD camera (front & rear) 5MP HD camera (front & rear) 2GB Ram 1GB Ram 4G Connectivity No 4G Connectivity The Fire HDX 8.9 (4th Generation) launched in March 2015 and overall functions better as a product than Fire HD 10, as well as offers a vastly better visual experience. It seems that Amazon went from producing high quality Fire Tablets to a lower qualitatively cheaper model, with 1.1 inches of more screen and a micro SD card slot—for What? That’s a mystery, but what's clear is that Fire HDX tablets are qualitatively better than Amazon’s current line of Fire Tablets. Indeed, when contrasting and comparing Fire HDX tablets with Amazon’s current Fire lineup, it would seem that they are two distinct product lines altogether. I do not recommend the Fire HD 10 to any Amazon customer who owns a 4th or 3rd generation Fire Tablet (particularly HDX). Additionally, the very low resolution is hard on one’s eyes for reading, watching movies, streaming videos, and looking at images in general. Unless you really need a cheap, quality non-existent tablet, and you don’t care about your eyesight, purchase the Fire HD 10. Otherwise, save your money, hold onto your previous generation tablets and hope Amazon one day corrects this colossal error.
