We've got no complaints about the 10.1-inch, 1920 x 1200 resolution, LCD screen on the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus вЂ“ although this is perhaps one of the areas where you can see how Amazon gets these devices cheaper than rival slates from Apple and Samsung. It's no iPad in the design department of course, but then it does cost significantly less. Still, on a device this cheap the money has to be saved somewhere, and overall the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus looks more elegant and premium than you might expect given its price. The tablet feels light enough for extended use with one hand, though it's tempting to wonder how much more compact it would be without those thick bezels.

It does feel a bit crowded on that side of the device, and it's not great positioning for when the Fire HD 10 Plus is in portrait mode, but we can live with it. If you hold the tablet in landscape orientation (so it's wider rather than taller), with the embedded webcam above the screen, all the action is on the right-hand side: you've got the volume controls at the top, then the power button, then the USB-C port, and then the headphone jack. It's actually exclusive to the Plus model вЂ“ the standard Amazon Fire HD 10 comes in Black, Denim, Olive and Lavender вЂ“ so if you like the look of it, you'll need to pay the extra for the more expensive model. There's a nice smooth plastic backing to the tablet, with a subtly embossed Amazon logo, and a gray-ish shade that Amazon calls Slate is your only color option. In terms of design, there's no difference between the Plus model and the standard Amazon Fire HD 10 (2021) tablet вЂ“ both are lighter and thinner than the Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019), but with reductions of 0.6 millimeters (0.02 inches) and 36 grams (1.3 ounces) respectively, you'll hardly notice.Дespite display bezels that are very chunky for a device launching in 2021, the tablet isn't a bad-looking bit of hardware, with nicely curved edges and corners that add to the visual appeal of the slate as well as giving it an air of toughness (it's the sort of gadget you don't feel like you have to treat with particular care).

Prices have held firm throughout 2022 in general, but there's always the potential for discounts during sales periods such as Amazon Prime Day, so keep your eyes peeled if you want an even cheaper tablet.ДЄt the time of writing if you want the official Wireless Charging Dock with your purchase, that's another $40 / ВЈ40, while the Bluetooth keyboard and a year of Microsoft 365 is another $60 / ВЈ60. You can of course buy these tablets direct from Amazon (opens in new tab). Those prices include lock screen adverts вЂ“ if you don't want those, add another $10 / ВЈ10 on.

For the 32GB of storage model, this slate will set you back $179.99 / ВЈ179.99 (around AU$330), and that goes up to $219.99 / ВЈ219.99 (roughly AU$400) for the 64GB model. The Amazon Fire tablets remain very affordable. Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus price and availability

The Fire OS software is based on Android, but lacks a few key apps, including all of the Google ones (and YouTube, unless you want to visit YouTube in a web browser) вЂ“ if you're heavily invested in the Google ecosystem, you might well be better off looking elsewhere. As for the negatives: well, it looks like a cheap tablet, on the whole.
