Whenever my tablet stand makes an appearance people ask about it! It's an Amazon Basics stand I bought a few years back. It's great: https://lon.tv/1ma3l (affiliate link)
Guys please don't buy it. I performs worse than a fire hd 8. It has so much bloatware. if you have the device below 20% power then it will drop in fps and usually make everything crash and reset, there's nothing to do to stop it. the battery percentages straight up just lie, it will die the second it tells you it has 5% power your done. No rushing to the charger, nothing it just dies, then it takes a lifetime to turn back on. Don't buy it. It sucks ass. I hate it so much and all I want anymore is a PC, at least windows will be able to avoid crashing every time you turn it on. Oh, and don't try watching tiktoks on it. It makes you rage. I have already broken the screen, it's weak as shit. And I have already punched the hell out of it at least 25 times in pure rage because the tablet just SUCKS. DONT BUY IT! DONT PLEASE JUST DONT ITS TERRIBLE! AVOID IT PLEASE DONT BE LIKE ME!
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!! WHERE IS THE "BACK" ARROW ON YOUTUBE???
I just picked up one on FB market foe 125 dollars used with a case. It is fast, and games play well. If you are not gaming, the Fire HD 10 would be a better option.
I downloaded the Google Play store on my fire mix 11. It will not allow me to install pubg mobile. Any solutions? Please help.
This thing's a pc of crap I've only had it about 5 days and it shuts itself off repeatedly maybe 25 times already and says it's not hooked up to the internet or we can't talk to Netflix
You can also hack it to make it normal android without ads.
These tablets are junk full of bloatware bad app store and ads. So many better opinions out there.
Nope, not even close. Its only got one power port and no audio port and none of the splitters work with this kindle. This is my 3rd kindle and the worst one ever. I hate this version 11, its built really cheap.
Does anyone know if you can use the tablet while charging?
Was about to get this, but no Google play store is a no go. Can’t add Google email, and not the browser I want. So, I passed. I decided to go with a really good laptop for an extra 100$ if you include tax with the accessories with this tablet. The laptop I ordered has 20 ram, and 1tb of storage. It’s a 2023 model with a SSD with Windows 11 Plus.
Can you use a stylus with this?
Why is their games upload requests constantly interrupting use when web browsing etc. ?
I have a mac book pro and looking a decent but still good affordable budget friendly tablet for basic entertainment so this convince me to get the fire tablet.
Never buy BRAND X. That tablet is BRAND X
Thank you, Lon, for this review! Not everyone can afford an Apple product.
You cant have faster charging but heres a fingerprint reader 😂 nice job amazon.
Ditch the fingerprint and get a faster charger speed is what they need to do lol.
Helpful and informative review thanks.
I decided to go for this. Excellent screen, fingerprint on the on button. Very good price (£134 atm). Excellent battery life. Multi user support. Plenty of apps that I use and browser access for the likes of Gmail etc or simply side load (which is easy but using browser YouTube for example, sideloading is unnecessary).
SD card and camera for landscape mode suits me perfectly.
Thanks. I was finished with the video when I heard $229. That's about 23 dozen eggs and I need to eat.
Or you can buy headphones for usb-c…
BTW Gmail works perfectly without Google play store. Silk browser is perfect for me.
I recently got the tablet. Ads do not bother me at all. So far I have major problem with SD card. Amazon supports Microsoft a lot, but they couldn't negotiate licensing for ExFAT, so SD card gets formatted using FAT32. Another funny thing, I got 512Gb card, however if I choose to format this card for an internal use, it disappeared after. I believe it got linked to Android directory and it isn't what I wanted. It's a family device for me too, so I simply selected no security. So I recommend the device to software professionals.
This is 2023 and no hdmi out.
1.67 to 1 = 16.9 aspect ratio cool for movie watching
Watching the Arnold doc I see 😂
Mine is on order! When will Roku play HD10
Good work mate
cDoes it have an audio jack? If not it goes in the steel can.
Can you put YouTubeTV on this?
Thank you for the information. I’m a Amazon Tablet Virgin 🙄. I’m 60 I’ve bought 6 IPads kids/grandkids this has been a really long long learning curve. I feel like a 1st grader learning to read 😳
If people like me wants to get a tablet that has the real and best android experience get the onn its great. Or basically any other tablets like the headwolf, oneplus, even a Samsung.
Can you use headphones or ear buds with it to view movies on the plane? If so, WHERE do they plug in????
The software is outdated and awful . This is not productivity tablet. Good to watch movies. No good apps at their app store for productivity
Can you get Apple TV app on this??
Thanks man! This is helpful as I'm deciding on whether to pick this up – I lost my Fire 10 – and I loved it (after Google Store added of course)
Excellent review.
Oddly, I like adds on the lock screen.
I bought a 10" Fire tablet a couple of years ago and installed Play store etc. Hated the fact that I was stuck with the default launcher and if installed a 3rd party one you could not make it the default. After a month i wert back to my old Samsung tablet.
Great vlog. Just got mine and very happy with it. Downloaded Play Store and Youtube with no issues but will be looking elsewhere for a case/kickstand
Nice comprehensive review. Very much appreciated. One thing I’ve noticed, however is the downloads of videos off the internet. Not Netflix or any of the other streaming services, but regular internet. I have the very first Fire tablet and I’m able to download anything and everything without any special apps. Why can’t we download vids off the internet with this newer version? Thank you.
Thanks for the great review. You really can't beat the price of these when they go on sale. As a matter of fact, I managed to get a non-ad version of this tablet on Prime day for $165. The ad version was $149. If you trade in an older Amazon tablet you can save even more.
The old Fire Hdx series were the best tablets Amazon ever offered. I still use the 10 year old 7" Hdx and the screen quality blows away all the newer ones.
Great review!
$149 prime day sale. lets go!
Not much of a Upgrade from 10 not worth the money to me wait till the next upgrades
I been using my Fire HD10 for more than a year now and I still love it. I'm just surprise that Amazon removed the headphone jack on this new one. I always like using my wired headphones compared to my wireless ones. And if I use a dongle for the headphones how can I connect my external drives to it.
I bought a 10 on Prime Day sale, it's not bad I like it. I had a 7 before and that my friend is pure garbage, it's so slow.
It may not have wireless charging but it does have the edge connector so I hope Amazon releases a speaker charging dock that turns this into an echo show at some point but if they donlt is there anything stopping 3rd party manufacutrers from making one?
I think Amazon is pretty open and doesnlt stop other companies from making accessories.
it is really odd to see the Pixel tablet have a speaker dock and not this, also odd that this has productivity bundle and the pixel tablet doesn't
it should have been reversed, the pixel should have been market asa productivty tablet and this shold have been marketed as the smart display dockable tablet.
there is no keyoard for the pixel tablet and not speaker dock for the fire max 11 which is really weird considering the pixel is much better suited for productivit with its tensor ship and double the RAM.
I think both tablters whould offer keyboards and speaker charging docks though just tha it makes more sense for the pixel to have a folio keyboard cas and fire maxx 11 to have a speaker dock, which is the exact opposite of what these cpmpletly clueless big tech companie have done.
