Amazon Fire Tablets

What is an Amazon Fire tablet?

Tablets are great. With a bigger display than any smartphone, they are ideal for mobile entertainment including playing video games, streaming video, web browsing, and reading. They are perfect for checking in on your social media, and even provide an ultra-portable productivity solution when you need to answer emails or get some work done.

Amazon Fire tablets deliver that experience at an incredibly affordable price, and include seamless integration with Amazon services including Alexa.

Fire tablets run the Fire OS mobile operating system with access to apps on the Amazon Appstore. Fire tablets are affordable, yet still include the specs you expect including bright and responsive HD or Full HD touch displays, quad-core and octa-core processors, front and rear cameras, 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus all-day battery life. Some even include Qi wireless charging and high speed USB-C ports.

What types of Amazon Fire tablets are available?

Amazon offers a wide range of Fire tablets. This includes the Fire HD 10 with a 10.1-inch Full HD display, the Fire HD 8 with an 8-inch HD display, and the ultra-portable Fire 7 with a 7-inch display. Each model offers varying storage options, with most ranging from 16GB to 64GB (plus an integrated SD card slot for easy storage expansion).

One of the unique Amazon Fire tablet options are the Kids Edition models. These are favourites of parents. They provide the perfect kid-friendly tablet experience, including a kid-proof case that makes the tablet easier to hold while protecting it from drops, and easy-to-use parental controls. Amazon Kids Edition fire tablets come with a free one year subscription to Amazon Free Time Unlimited, which provides access to educational apps, videos, and books from Disney, Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, and more.

What should you consider when buying an Amazon Fire tablet?

When choosing an Amazon Fire tablet, picking between models is primarily a matter of deciding how large you want the display to be and how much onboard storage you’ll need. Those who want to take advantage of the Fire OS ability to display split screen apps will likely prefer a larger display size.
