Like the previous Plus model, it also has Qi support for wireless charging. The Plus version has all the features of the regular 10 model, but it ups the RAM to 4GB and adds in a slightly different soft touch, slate-coloured body. This £49.99/$49.99 Bluetooth keyboard is the first time we’ve really seen Amazon position this mostly media-centric device at getting real work done.įire HD 10 Price – £149.99/$149.99 Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus There is also deeper Microsoft 356 integration and a keyboard add-on available which you can see pictured below. An example Amazon gives is having Prime Video and Facebook Messenger visible at the same time. The updated Fire OS lets you have two apps open side-by-side, though it seems apps need to be updated for this to work. There has been a clear focus with these upgraded tablets to make them more productive. These were already fairly durable tablets so this should help increase this further. Amazon has added Dolby Atmos audio (how well this will work on such a cheap device remains to be seen) and claims you’ll get 12 hours of juice from the battery.Īmazon has said the 10.1-inch 1080p display is 10% brighter than the outgoing model and it now has a strengthened glass over the top. If you want to store more on the device you can add up to a 1TB Micro SD card. Inside you’ll find 50% more RAM than the previous model at 3GB, an unnamed octa-core processor and either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. It does look slightly more modern than before, but still with that distinct Amazon look. Amazon Fire HD 10Īmazon’s base 10-inch tablet has received its yearly update, with a design that’s slimmer, lighter and has more uniform bezels than before. For now, here are all the specs and details you need to know about. This breaks every law I thought I understood about electronics, but I’m thankful to whoever figured this out.We’ll bring you full reviews of all these tablets when we’ve spent time with them. So I think it’s the vertical orientation. It’s possible my battery as just so depleted that it took a long time just to get above 1%, but I don’t think so- the first night I attempted to recharge it I had it plugged in for over an hour and it never went past 1%- but this time, vertically, it only took it a few minutes to break the 1% barrier. I am really surprised to say this but it does seem to be working. I was just in the middle of researching what replacement Kindle to get when I stumbled across this post and gave it a try. After 48 hours it did start successfully when plugged in, and I thought at first it was fine, but when an hour of being plugged in didn’t get the battery past 1%, I figured the battery was ruined. I checked at about 24 hours and saw there were still moisture droplets visible behind the camera lenses even a day later, so I put it in the sun (still in the rice) for a half hour at a time on each side for a while, hoping to heat it enough to evaporate the liquid and let it escape (but not get so hot as to melt the plastic). Eventually it seemed to run the battery down (probably way down) with this and I didn’t hear more from it. I wish it had a user-openable back because I could hear the Kindle struggling- it kept trying to reboot itself over and over and I wished I could just take the battery out to prevent damage, but with the glued on back I figured I risked doing more damage doing this than I’d prevent. After my outpouring of relief that she hadn’t been shocked by the battery, I shook all the water I could out of it, and threw it in a bag of rice with a few drying packets over the weekend. But I was disappointed to see the new Kindle 8” kids’ edition tablets are being panned for being slow, and I don’t relish having to pay again to turn off all the cosmetics ads and stuff like that anyway, so I’m delighted that this Kindle may be a survivor after all.ĭETAILS: My situation is that my daughter (who has severe autism) brought the Kindle in the bath with her b/c we somehow missed hiding it away the way we usually do. I was in the middle of researching what replacement Kindle to get. So I think our Kindle is going to be another success story of this weird and improbable solution. But stumbled across this post and figured, what the hey, I’ll give it a try! At first it didn’t seem to make a difference, but at some point suddenly it went past 1% to 2 and now to 5. For reasons clear in the details below, I was pretty sure the battery was ruined. When I started, the battery *did* show the lightning bolt and gave the impression it was charging, but it never went past 1%. I’m not sure my situation was quite like everybody else’s though. I’m astonished to report that the vertical-orientation thing worked for me as well.
