Tablets fill the gap between phones that are too small to comfortably watch videos on, and laptops that are too bulky to casually browse from the couch. Apple has long dominated this space, pricing entry-level iPads from around $349 which forces budget buyers to choose between paying premium prices or settling for questionable Android alternatives.

“The Fire HD 10 is comparable to the iPad 9th or 10th, yet it is offered at a significantly lower price point,” says one reviewer . “In my opinion, the Amazon Fire HD 10 significantly elevates the capabilities of iPads with price tags less than $499.”

It's designed to be as future-proof as any tablet can be, especially when it comes to quickly advancing on-device AI tools.

It's nice and slim, comfortable to use, with a 10.9-inch display measure that matches up to the entry-level iPad in terms of scale. It's got Samsung's own Exynos processor on board which, despite initial doubts, is plenty powerful for gaming tasks.

Full compatibility with US carriers, apps, and services is guaranteed with the 2024 US version with no regional or software restrictions. You will also receive timely security updates, have complete access to the Google Play Store library and warranty support via Samsung’s US customer service channels.
