Low cost ; Downloadable Amazon video content

Uninspiring design ; Limited interface

10.1-inch Full HD screen ; New 5MP cameras ; Amazon Alexa built in ; Budget-friendly price

Google apps aren't available ; Slow to charge ; Underwhelming performance

The Amazon Fire HD 10 (2023) is a top choice for anyone who needs a cheap, basic tablet. While it's not super powerful or slick, it is fit for purpose.
