Amazon Fire HD (2018) - Pros & Cons

viewing angles were decent
stereo sound was very decent
performance was good enough to run current games
very sturdy and robust protective shell
cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye
Sturdiness was decent
worked as reliable and seamless as expected
The sensors worked flawlessly
and sound was decent
easy to read and reasonably crisp
new ways of thinking
new connections
and new industries
faster
has more storage
and the 10-inch HD screen looks much nicer
a sturdy plastic build and the advertised durability
a capable performer in both video and audio respects

Poor lighting conditions are too much to ask for
slightly roughened back cover feels somewhat grippy
the display was simply too dim to be used outdoors
screen shows slow response rates
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
Battery life is very sensitive to changes in screen brightness
this setting cannot be enforced by the benchmark app
the entire Fire OS interface remain stuck in a rut
device may be too hot or have other apps running in the background
performance
poor software and a mediocre screen
too many corners cut in the production
Color reproduction is another weakness
screen is washed out and lacking the vibrancy which
the camera still takes awful stills
The picture lacks definition in the darkest scenes
really refresh the hardware
Limited apps Credit
older-generation iPad minus the home button
handle multiple taxing apps running at the same time
doesn't get nearly as loud as an iPad Pro
lack of performance and the poor quality
it will occasionally feel sluggish in operation
it s essentially the same tablet as the previous model
It also has pretty poor battery life
HD 8 was never going to set the standard for screen quality

Small upgrades sweeten the deal just a bit

The latest HD 8 isn't much of an upgrade over last year's model, but the "always-ready" hands-free Alexa feature is a nice addition to what remains the best tablet value.
