Fire HD 10
The base Fire HD 10 tablet has a 2GHz octa-core processor and 3GB of RAM, 50% higher than the previous generation’s RAM. The 10.1-inch 1080p HD display is 10% brighter. You’ll get 12 hours of battery life.
The new tablet’s body is slimmer and lighter than the previous Fire tablet. The 2MP front-facing camera is landscape-oriented to support widescreen video calls. The Fire HD 10 is available with 32GB or 64GB of memory.
Fire HD 10 Plus
For an additional $30, you can step up to the Fire HD 10 Plus. This bumps the ram up to 4GB and adds hands-free wireless charging. The Plus is compatible with any Qi-certified charger, or you can opt for an Anker Made for Amazon wireless charging dock, which turns the tablet into an Echo Show.
The Fire HD 10 Plus features a soft-touch finish colored in slate. If you’d like to get the wireless charging dock, you can get the tablet and dock for $220.
