Just briefly: Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet with a 52% discount

For 79.99 euros you can get a 10-inch tablet for a short time, whose suitability for everyday use the writer of these lines has been able to confirm for almost a year. Of course, the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) cannot compete with an Apple iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab, but it costs much less and has no major weaknesses.

The regular price for the Fire HD 10 is 164.99 euros. But as is well known, you should never buy Amazon's own devices at the regular price. After all, these things are available at high discounts several times a year, often in the context of discount campaigns. The same now: While the Prime Deal Days ended on October 9th, the special offers for Amazon devices are ongoing until October 15th at 8:55 p.m. Echo Dot, Echo Pop, Ring, Blink & Co. are offered up to 65% below RRP.

The discount on the Fire HD 10 is also high, specifically 52%. So you pay less than half the regular price. We show what the tablet can do. By the way: The Fire HD 10 has now been replaced as the most powerful Amazon tablet by the Fire Max 11 with an 11-inch display. Here too you can benefit from a high discount for a short time, saving 110 euros compared to. RRP.

What sets the Fire HD 10 apart?

In 2023, Amazon further improved the Fire HD 10 and launched a new model. It has a 10.1-inch display with 1,920 x 1,200 pixels, slightly more pixels than Full HD. In practice, the touchscreen produces a sharp image with beautiful colors. Video streaming is just as fun as surfing or playing simple games. The octa-core processor with 3 GB of RAM is a bit weak for complex games, but it is completely sufficient for normal applications.

The cheapest version (€79.99) has 32 GB available for photos, videos and apps. The tablet with 64 GB costs €109.99. We recommend the 32 GB model because you can expand the storage up to 1 TB via the Micro SDXC slot – and A memory card with 128 GB, for example, only costs around 11 euros. The bottom line is that this is cheaper for you.

The Fire HD 10 is particularly robust because it has a display made of aluminum-silicate glass and, according to drop tests, is 2.7 times more resistant than comparable devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2022). It is light and fits well in the hand. The 5-megapixel front camera enables video calls, while the optional stylus with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity supports writing and drawing in apps. The device is also family-friendly as it offers Amazon Kids+ with parental controls and access to books, games and media content. In addition, Alexa can be used to control smart home devices and for many other tasks.

Only €79.99 at Amazon – but only for a short time

At 84.99 euros, the Fire HD 10 was already surprisingly cheap on Black Friday 2023, because the recommended retail price (RRP) is 169.99 euros. Now it only costs 79.99 euros – the tablet has never been cheaper. However, the offer is limited and is only valid until October 15th at 8:55 p.m.

By the way: The low price applies to the “with advertising” configuration. Without advertising you pay 94.99 euros. But what does “with advertising” mean? This information only applies to the start screen of the tablet. When you turn on the tablet, an advertisement for a product on Amazon appears. Our experience shows that product recommendations are adapted to user behavior. In practice, this didn't bother us, which is why we would choose this cheaper version again.


Alternative: Fire HD Max 11 for €159.99

The best, most powerful Amazon tablet is the Fire HD Max 11. It has an 11-inch display with a resolution of 2,000 x 1,200 pixels. It has slightly more power than the Fire HD 10, with an octa-core processor with 4GB of RAM and a thin aluminum design with reinforced glass. At 159.99 euros, the Fire HD Max 11 is twice as expensive as the Fire HD 10 despite the 41% discount, which is why we think the latter tablet is a slightly better deal.

Google Play is not supported on Fire tablets – or is it?

Amazon's Fire tablets use Fire OS, so they are not full-fledged Android tablets. Biggest limitation: The Google Play Store is not available, so the range of apps is significantly limited compared to the Google Store. But there is a way to install the Google Play Store on the Fire Tablet. We tried it and it worked without any problems. We have that Step-by-step instructions at Computerbild.de used.
