I do feel the video can be a bit dark, and watching very dark scenes like on The Saint or Bosch was a challenge. The resolution as noted earlier is obviously better, but does that translate into a better viewing experience? Yes, there’s a slightly noticeable improvement, and having the widescreen format gives you more video to fill your field of vision with too. The video quality is again, pretty good, and definitely improved from the Fire 8. Even so, sound quality overall is good for a tablet of this size and at this price point. Music sounds a bit tinny and bass, not surprisingly is minimal. When it comes to music, you can hear it ok using the built in speakers but I think you’re losing a lot of the quality. Holding the tablet horizontally you get the stereo effect and voices are clear. I wouldn’t say they’re ultra high quality (because in something this size, that realistically not possible) but they’re good. The speakers on this tablet get pretty loud. This is definitely disappointing and might be a big drawback for some shoppers. I reached out to a contact at Amazon to double check on these functions, and guess what? They’re still not enabled in Canada. At least this time I could see the smart home gadgets I already had connected inside the app, but the voice control option wasn’t working. When I started to use Alexa voice requests, I couldn’t get it to work. So I was looking forward to seeing if things had changed. For starters, Alexa functionality wasn’t ready or functioning then, and the popular Show Mode option- in which Alexa voice responses are enhanced with full screen visuals also wasn’t working. Even so it did have some serious limitations, particularly compared to our American cousins. When I reviewed the Fire HD 8, I really liked the experience and found it to be an amazing budget tablet. Obviously it’s not as fast as an iPad, but it’s also a fraction of the cost and doesn’t have the same processing power.Īlexa on Fire? Does Alexa work in Canada on Fire tablets? So the Fire HD 10 is definitely faster than the 8. Silk Browser: 10 seconds on Fire 8, 4 seconds on Fire HD 10, instant on Safari Netflix: 6 seconds on Fire HD 8, 2 seconds on Fire HD 10, instant on iPadĬalendar: 2 seconds on Fire HD 8, 1 second on Fire HD 10, instant on iPad Prime Video: 3 seconds on Fire HD 8, 1-2 seconds on Fire HD 10 So I compared the Fire 10 to the 8 and to my Apple iPad Pro to see how long it takes to open apps:
Some have complained the Fire tablets are laggy.
