Sure, you'll get all the big streaming apps like HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu and other popular apps like Facebook, Instagram, Spotify and more.īut, others are missing. The Amazon AppStore is still pretty barebones compared to the Apple App Store. You'll get far more bang for your buck from the regular $329 iPad if you like having access to lots of apps.

Speaking of the battery, I like that Amazon continues to use the more modern USB-C charging port, which is the same charger you might already use for your computer or Android phone. So, it exceeds Amazon's promise in this regard. it was still playing with about 28% battery life.

I started playing a movie on loop, with the brightness set to about 50%, at 10 a.m. But the keys are a little cramped and it lacks backlighting, so I often just found myself using a computer when I needed to get real work done.įinally, the battery life was excellent in my tests. It's decent for a $50 keyboard and works well for things like typing in Microsoft Word. Amazon sent me the keyboard, which also works with the plus model. That bundle also offers a year of Microsoft Office worth $69.99. It's included in a new productivity bundle with the regular - not plus - model of the tablet for $219. As expected, it just ties in really well with Amazon's products and services.Īmazon also launched a $49.99 Bluetooth Keyboard Case accessory for its tablets this year. And you can easily control smart home gadgets, like your lights and cameras, if you already have them connected to an Amazon Echo. I also like that Amazon's home screen shows you all of the stuff you might want to access quickly: the book you're already reading, the last TV show you watched, books you might like to read, apps you recently opened and the weather. I mostly just watched movies while it was charging on my desk, though. It's convenient if you're already an Echo household and want to turn the tablet into a hands-free assistant in places like the kitchen. It'll show you recipes, the weather and act as an Echo when you say "Hey Alexa" nearby. This is great if you're using the wireless charging stand. There's a unique "Show Mode" and turn the Fire HD 10 Plus into an Amazon Echo Show with a screen. You just plop the tablet on the dock and it starts charging.
Amazon includes wireless charging in case you want to buy yet another optional accessory, the wireless charging dock, which brings the total cost up to $219.99.
