AMAZON FIRE HD 10 REVIEW 2016 720P
AMAZON FIRE HD 10 REVIEW 2016 FULL

App load times are a bit all over the place, and games in particular took an age to get back the start screen. Performance hasn’t really picked up from last year’s model.

You’ll go for over 11 hours of video playback on a full charge, too – more than enough for a full day out of the house. The whole back of the tab is covered in grippy plastic – a sign of just how cheap it is, but at least it isn’t a fingerprint magnet.Īt 9.2mm thick and 341g, it’s small and light enough to use in one hand all day, or sling in a bag and forget it’s even there. The two tiny speakers on the bottom edge pump out pretty decent stereo sound, so you won’t need to reach for a pair of headphones every time you want to watch a TV show. Adaptive brightness finally makes an appearance too – no manually fiddling every time you step outdoors. Colours are still punchy, though, and there’s no backlight bleed like on last year’s model.

AMAZON FIRE HD 10 REVIEW 2016 720P

Good enough for 720p video, but it leaves text and images looking a little blurry at any distance other than arm’s length. It’s still a budget tab, though, so that extra resolution tops out at 1280×800. Basically, it’s all the tablet you need for watching Prime Video on the move. The cameras aren’t too hot either, but then they rarely are in affordable tablets, are they? You need to put a little bit of effort into the Asus ZenPad S 8.0 when you first get it, but when you consider what some other brands offer you for just £20 less, you have to appreciate its value-soaked style.Īmazon’s revised Fire HD 8 is a step up from the £50 Fire, with a larger, higher resolution screen, stereo speakers and double the storage. You wouldn’t get that with an Apple device. However, the buttons on the side feel worryingly spongy a lot of the time, the feel changing depending on how your hold the thing. It’s slim, and has a classy metal plate on the back to make sure it doesn’t feel flat-out cheap. The build isn’t quite as nice as it first looks either. It’s just not as clean as what you get with a Nexus device, for example. It adds a lot of apps that clutter-up the interface. Firstly, the software gets a bit annoying. Before you get too excited, there are some downsides. Given some of the tablets Samsung and LG trot out close to this price, the Asus ZenPad S 8.0 looks like a real bargain from all angles.
