Amazon Fire HD 6

A quality tablet at a pocket-friendly price

Excellent value ; Decent screen ; Solid battery life

Quite heavy and chunky ; Fire OS is restrictive ; Cameras are rubbish

are now available for under £100, the tablet loses some of its shine at this price.

Amazon Fire HD 6 review

Small enough to be smartphone, the HD 6 packs a surprising punch

Compact size ; Prime integration ; Sharp screen ; Reasonable price

A bit too chunky ; Awful cameras ; Fire OS can be restrictive ; Tinny speaker

One of the most enticing tablets to come from Amazon, mixing efficient integration with the Prime services and a compact footprint that makes it easy to drop in your bag. It's no tablet king, but it does what it sets out to well.

Amazon Fire HD 6 review

If you like the form factor of a Kindle eReader, but want a fully-fledged tablet with a proper web browser, email, Skype and apps, Amazon can now oblige with the Fire HD 6.

It isn't perfect, but the HD 6 is really good value. Performance is well above the level you'd expect at this price, as is the quality of the screen. Some might find the 6in screen too small, though, so it's worth trying to track one down before buying.

Amazon Fire HD 6 review

The Amazon Fire HD 6 turns the budget tablet category on its head. Starting at only $99 for an 8GB model, the 6-inch slate rocks a sharp IPS screen, performs smoothly, and offers a feature-filled, user-friendly operating system -- and that's more than...

The Amazon Fire HD 6 starts at an affordable $99. Its small size makes it extremely portable and easy to use in one hand. Performance is smooth and its OS features a variety of family-friendly functions.

The plastic construction feels cheap and girthy. It lacks Amazon's Mayday instant customer-service feature as well as the Google Play store. The free space on the 8GB model fills up quickly.

The smooth performing and feature-filled Amazon Fire HD 6 is unrivaled in the bargain tablet category.

(Rating Hidden)

The Amazon Kindle HD6 is the baby of the Amazon Fire tablet range. It's designed to be powerful yet pocket friendly and take on the likes of the popular Tesco Hudl 2. But with a tempting price tag, is this a bargain or a cheap tablet worth avoiding? We...

Amazon Fire HD 6 review

Amazon's family-friendly HD 6 comes in at a tempting £79, but it's far from cheap and nasty

When it comes to family-friendly tablets, it’s hard to argue with the Amazon Fire HD 6. Its child-friendly form factor, easy-to-use parental controls and low price point make it ideal for use either as a shared tablet in the home or as a personal...

Amazon Fire HD 6 review

It could be a phone ... but it's not. Amazon's latest 6-inch device is very much a pocket-sized tablet for shoppers on a budget.

Lovely screen, fast processor, decent build quality, Amazon features

Poor quality camera, no Google Play, no Mayday video support, no expandable memory

Amazon Fire HD 6 review: great value for a $99 tablet

Here's a question: How did Amazon know it was time to make a $99 tablet? Because of focus groups? Its ace marketing department? Close: user reviews. Let'

Sharp screen ; Long battery life ; Useful features such as family sharing and the option to add six user accounts ; Great overall value for the price

Heavy for its size, cheap build quality ; Limited built-in storage, no microSD slot ; Some performance lags ; Doesn't include Amazon's Mayday live support feature

With long battery life, a sharp screen and some useful software features, the HD 6 offers impressive value for the money. It's an excellent choice for children, and anyone else looking for a small-screen tablet on a budget.
