Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBConfiguration: Without Special OffersColour Name: BlackStyle: Standalone Amazon Fire HD 10Verified Purchase
So I mainly use this as a monitor for my security cams (Tinycam Pro for RTSP cameras, and Unifi Protect for Unifi cameras).
Tinycam Pro is available on the Amazon App Store, but Unifi Protect is not. I had to use something called Fire Toolbox, which installs in less than a half hour, and I was then able to add the Google Play store and run Google Apps like the Unifi Protect app.
On the last gen 10" Fire Tablet, TinyCam Pro would have all sorts of trouble displaying 8 concurrent feeds on the screen. With the latest generation model, it has no issues.
The screen, CPU and WIFI are noticeably better than the last generation of the tablet.
In terms of form factor, it's pretty similar to most Android tablets of the same size. The build quality is pretty good, and if you need a case or keyboard, there are options for you to buy on Amazon. The speakers sound fine for the price point of the tablet.
I got my tablet on sale during Black Friday, but even at full price, it's still a pretty good value, depending on what you intend to use it for.
The tablet can be limiting if you are only sticking to the default configuration (no Google Play store), but it is still fine for general media consumption. If you're adventurous and add Google Play support, it takes it much further than the base configuration, although not all apps will support the device.
All in all, I'm glad I upgraded from the previous generation.
