What reviewers say

Reviewers find the Fire HD 10 (2023) a sturdy, good-value tablet with a sharp screen, long battery life and loud speakers. The common criticisms are the limited app selection without Google apps and the push towards Amazon's services; TechRadar and Tom's Guide found it little changed from the 2021 model, and Trusted Reviews found charging very slow.
