The low processing power may come to a head when trying to play demanding games or run many apps at once, but if you’re buying an Amazon Fire HD tablet you probably don’t need the 10,000-plus scores of iPad Pros, so this won’t be as much of a problem. The latter is average for a low-end phone, but the former is rather poor by any standards.
The Fire HD 8 comes with a Mediatek MT8163 processor, while the Fire HD 10 has the slightly better Mediatek MT8173 – when we put both tablets through benchmarking tests, the former returned a poor 1,677 while the latter came back with a 3,021 average. Neither of the tablets are processing powerhouses, with middling chipsets powering each. When we powered both up from 0% power to 100%, the Fire HD 8 took 6 hours while the Fire HD 10 took 5 hours, and both of which is incredibly slow compared to other tablets, likely thanks to the microUSB charging port. Similarly the charging rate was rather similar, that is to say both tablets charge painfully slowly. The tablets have different battery sizes – while the Amazon Fire HD 8 has a 3210mAh power pack, the Fire HD 10 boasts 3830mAh, however because of the different screen sizes, we found in effect the slates last around the same amount of time in day-to-day use. The size is basically the only difference though – both tablets have LCD screens, which is fairly low-end in terms of display tech. This difference is matched in resolution, as the Fire HD 8 is 800 x 1280 pixels with a pixel density of 189 pixels per inch (ppi) whereas the Fire HD 10 is 1920 x 1200 pixels and 224ppi – this means that not only is the Fire HD 10’s screen a little bigger, but it’s also better quality, so if having the best screen is important to you, you should check out this tablet first.Īmazon Fire HD 8. DisplayĪs we’ve previously mentioned, the titular difference between the tablets is the display size, as the Amazon Fire HD 8’s screen is eight inches across diagonally, while the Fire HD 10’s display is – you guessed it – a 10-inch panel. One minor design difference is in the available colors – while the Fire HD 8 is available in black, yellow, red or blue, the Fire HD 10 doesn’t offer the yellow version, so if you absolutely need the brightest tablet, you’ll have to stick with the Fire HD 8. No, they’re not as specced-out as other tablets or even most phones, but that matches the price point. That’s basically the only design difference between the tablets though – both have plastic bodies with 3.5mm headphone jacks, 2MP cameras, and microUSB ports.
