With the Kindle Fire specs above, you should either know exactly which Kindle Fire you have, or have it narrowed down to two possibilities. If you've narrowed it down but still aren't sure, take a look at the unlock tab on your screen the one that comes up when you first turn on your Kindle Fire :.
Still, it could serve as a window into what Amazon has in store for its devices in the future. Hardware has become increasingly important to Amazon. As an e-commerce site that sells both physical and digital products, Amazon has long had a focus on content with books and CDs, and later, e-books and digital music. But it's hardware that allows Amazon to stay with a person throughout the day and showcase its goods, giving its most loyal users easy access to purchases that contribute to Amazon's bottom line.
Amazon's recent product announcement is indicative of its strategy to push smarter devices. Further betting on the family-friendly nature of tablets, Amazon will also make the Fire HD 7 and 6 available in Kids Editions, which include a chunky case, a 2-year warranty, and a free year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited, a subscription service focused on kid-friendly content such as apps, games and videos.
Only buy one of the "10th Generation" or "11th Generation" Fire tablets. We suggest sticking to the tablets we talk about in this article also listed here. If you're on a tight budget, the Fire HD 10 is often available for less than the new one. The downside with it and other, older model Fire tablets is that they may not get software updates for as long as the current generation will. You'll also miss out on the faster processor and more RAM in the newer model.
You can do most of the same things from an Android tablet or iPad, but the Fire OS interface is crafted specifically to deliver Amazon goods, with swipeable pages for each type of media Amazon sells.
The Kids Editions are also some of the best-quality tablets for kids, encased in a rugged bumper, and all have MicroSD slots so you can add extra storage. Cheap: Did we mention the price?
They're a great value. Non-Amazon Content is Lacking: The greatest strength of these tablets is also their greatest weakness. Tech-savvy users have found ways to add the Google Play Store or sideload apps, but these devices are built to serve up Amazon's library first and foremost.
Old Tech: The tech inside these tablets is old. The operating system is also dated depending on which Fire tablet you're buying , which could hide some of the weaknesses. That makes it feel dated compared to a current Android phone. Amazon also uses the home screen to promote content, apps, videos, and more in a spammy way.
The bigger software problem remains: Amazon does not have access to the Google Play Store and is therefore lacking many of the apps you are familiar with on a phone think Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Docs, etc.
Amazon tells me the Anker stand I tested it with is currently unavailable. Half of it is a detachable Bluetooth keyboard that pairs wirelessly with the tablet. The other half is a snap-on case that connects to the keyboard via magnets to form a familiar clamshell look.
The keyboard is small, has no backlight, and the keys themselves are plasticky. There is no trackpad or pointing device, however. I was able to pull up the Office app and a browser window at the same time, but in order to create a new Word doc, I had to exit the split-screen mode. The Fire HD 10 Plus is not a good device for getting work done. Despite their names, the Kids and Kids Pro models are, in fact, the same hardware, just wrapped in a different case. As mentioned before, both cases can be had in a variety of colors and designs and come with built-in kickstands that double as carrying handles.
The other difference is found in the software interface. Both kids appreciated the larger screen and better sound from the inch tablet compared to their older 8-inch models.
