Winner: The Fire 7's $50 price is a far-from-secret weapon. The $80 HD 8 costs $30 more, which is a 60 percent increase, and the $150 HD 10 is three-times the price of the Fire 7. One of the cheapest tablets ever that we actually like. In fact, the Fire 7's $50 price makes it a steal. Winner: The Fire HD 8 and HD 10 get a win, but it's not a strong one. Fire HD 8 Case DTangLsm Flip Case for Kindle Fire HD 8 Tablet (8th/7th/6th Generation 2018/2017/2016 Release) Premium PU Leather HD 8 Case Slim Folding Protective Cover Stand w/Auto Wake/Sleep, Green 4. The Fire HD 8 and HD 10 feature stereo sound from dual Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, but we heard slight distortion in the bass and vocals from both. Amazon's cheapest tablet features only one, rear-firing, speaker with audio quality that muffled both vocals and instrumentals during our testing. If you're looking to watch a lot of trailers or listen to music on your tablet - and do so without headphones - you won't want the Fire 7. Winner: The Fire HD 10 is the battery king. The HD 10 hit a high 13 hours and 45 minutes on the Laptop Mag battery test (continuous web surfing at 150 nits), which leaps over the Fire HD 8's run time of 9 hours and 12 minutes. In one of the biggest differences between these tablets, the Fire HD 10 owns this round to a large degree. The Fire 7 doesn't last as long on a single charge. The Fire 7 didn't get this feature, as it doesn't support Show Mode. Show Mode, if you don't know, is capable if you buy an Amazon Show Mode Dock, which turns your HD Fire tablet into a makeshift Echo Show, the Alexa-capable screen-based device. 5, Amazon added a new feature for the Fire HD 8 (20 models) and Fire HD 10. These slates, when docked in Show Mode, can now perform and receive Drop Ins and announcements, the calls and notifications you make between friends and family. Winner: The Fire HD 8 offers a solid combination of value and speed, but we look forward to putting the HD 10 through more testing to see how fast it feels in everyday use. The HD 10 may offer 32GB of memory in its entry-level model, but that $149 version is three times the price of the Fire 7. The 2019 Fire 7 offers twice as much storage, with 16GB and 32GB. The Fire HD 8 tablet also starts with more storage, coming with 16GB in the $80 model and 32GB in the $110 model. The Fire HD 8 stuttered only when we tried to multitask by jumping among multiple apps and the Silk browser with many tabs open. In testing, we saw the Fire 7 operate slightly slower than the HD 8, even pausing while it loaded apps. The new HD 10 got an even faster-than-before 2.0 GHz octa-core CPU to compliment its 2GB of RAM, which places it above the Fire 7 (1.3-GHz processor, 1GB of RAM) and the HD 8 (1.3-GHz processor, 1.5GB RAM). The pricier Fire HD 8 and HD 10 aim to make up for higher price with better performance. Winner: The Fire HD 10's screen is the best Amazon makes today. You'll only see better color output with the HD 10, as its 106% colorimeter rating trounces the sRGB ratings for the Fire 7 (78%) and the HD 8 (80%). The HD 10's panel is also the brightest of the three, blasting 403 nits of brightness, which vaults over the 307-nit HD 8 and the 370-nit Fire 7. They're both great for media consumption and light gaming, whether you're buying for yourself, your kids, or as a gift.The Fire HD 10 features the brightest, highest-resolution display. No matter which tablet you decide on, you'll be getting a surprisingly great device for the money. And it's smaller, lighter, and brighter than the previous-generation 2019 edition HD 10 tablet. It's more expensive than the HD 8, but it's still a bargain compared to virtually every Android tablet on the market. The larger, denser display, strengthened with aluminosilicate glass, provides a much better viewing experience, and you'll appreciate the louder speakers. If instead, you plan on watching a lot of videos and movies on your tablet, the larger Fire HD 10 is the better choice. Ensure your Kindle Fire has at least a 30 battery charge level before performing these steps. Buy the HD 10 as a video streaming device. A hard reset will reset your Kindle Fire back to factory default settings and clear all data from the memory of the device. It's half the price of the HD 10, and aside from weaker speakers and a slightly slower processor, you're not missing much.īuy the HD 8 as an e-reader and light browsing device. If you mainly want an e-reader for Amazon's enormous Kindle library, with the occasional video or music playback, the Fire HD 8's smaller form factor may be the better choice. 10, you should think about what you'll be doing most with it.
