This Black Friday, Amazon has chopped the price of our favorite Fire tablet for sharing IN HALF
The Amazon Fire HD 10 is a good mid-range Fire tablet, especially at just $70.
'Tis officially the season for tablet deals and other device discounts, as Black Friday week officially arrives. As such, buyers can currently get half off the price of the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, bringing the price down to just $70.
The HD 10 is one of our favorite Fire tablets, especially for those in a household who want it to be used among multiple family members, both old and young. While Amazon also offers a similar HD 10 Fire tablet edition for kids, this one is actually also a good pick for its parental controls settings and compatibility with the MFA stylus, which offers up to 4,000 levels of pressure for drawing, note-taking, and other stylus uses.
It also includes both front- and rear-facing cameras, an improved processor from former generations, and a decent battery life that will get most users through a school day or work day, even when performing power-intensive tasks.
Amazon Fire HD 10: $139.99 $69.99 for Amazon's Black Friday Week
At half off, it's hard to argue with the offerings of the Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, which includes a 10.1-inch screen, expandable storage, a long-lasting battery, and front and rear cameras. Beyond being the best Amazon tablet for sharing, the price point also makes it seem like a worthwhile pick, as you won't find anything even close to this performance level for just $70.
✅Recommended if: you're looking for a super affordable tablet that can still be used for TV and movie streaming, gaming, or as a shared smart display for a family household; you need something with a battery life of over 12 hours; you prefer a tablet with a screen of roughly 10 inches.
❌Skip this deal if: you need a device with high-quality cameras; you prefer a super thin and lightweight model that's easy to take with you wherever you go; you'd rather upgrade to something more powerful and you have the budget to spend more on a tablet.
The Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is our favorite Fire tablet for sharing, offering a solid mid-level size amongst the rest of the retailer's tablet options. The 10.1-inch screen offers a 1920 x 1200 resolution, while performance is backed by a basic octa-core CPU and 3GB of RAM.
While this deal is just for the 32GB version of the device, it also comes with a microSD port that will let users have up to 1TB of storage. Additionally, it sports around 13 hours of battery life per charge, 5MP cameras on both the front and rear, easy-to-use parental controls for shared device use, and compatibility with the separately sold Amazon stylus.
Don't be fooled by the low Black Friday price tag; the Fire HD 10 offers decent enough performance speeds for most casual users, and especially for those who plan to use it for basic streaming, non-power-intensive games, web browsing and other low-level tasks.
