A tablet is a terminal that can display information on a screen larger than a smartphone in an easy-to-read manner. If you use your smartphone on a daily basis and often think "if the screen is a little bigger", it is worth buying a tablet. On the other hand, if you are satisfied with the screen size of your smartphone, you probably won't use it even if you buy a tablet.
When I'm using a smartphone and think "if the screen is a little bigger", "watching videos", "typing characters", "displaying recipes", "previewing photos", "checking Excel data", etc. For full-scale data editing work, it is not enough to just enlarge the screen size, so I moved to a personal computer. The recognition is that tablets are "displaying information in an easy-to-read manner."
If you want to watch streaming video, you need to check "Security Level". Each tablet has a security level such as "Widevine L1", "Widevine L2", and "Widevine L3" based on the Digital Rights Management Law (DRM). If your device is "Widevine L1" compliant, you can watch approximate videos in high resolution settings.
However, depending on the distribution service, even if the tablet side complies with "Widevine L1", it cannot be viewed in high resolution. If "correspondence" is not specified in the information column, it is "not sure" whether it can be viewed in high resolution.
Amazon Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Plus are Widevine L1 compliant
Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Plus are inexpensive, but the security level is "Widevine L1". Since it is a tablet released by Amazon as a manufacturer, it is natural that you can continue to watch Amazon Prime Video at high resolution (HD 1080p).

In addition, it also supports popular distribution services such as "Netflix", "DAZN", "Hulu", "ABEMA", and "Disney Plus", making it ideal as a media player for watching videos.

In addition, it is easy to "romaji", which is difficult with smartphones on tablets. It is faster than flick input and you can create long sentences in a short time.
Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Plus have a case with a dedicated keyboard, so you can use it closer to your computer. While using it as a media player, transform it into a typing machine as needed.

There is no problem with "Recipe display" and "Excel data confirmation" as long as there is a certain screen size and resolution. If you install "Amazon Photos" on your smartphone and synchronize the shot images, you can preview it on Fire HD 10 or Fire HD 10 Plus at any time without moving the data.
Those who have a clear purpose of playing games or drawing with a stylus should buy a high-performance model such as the iPad or Xiaomi Pad 5. However, if you want a tablet somehow, try Fire HD 10 and Fire HD 10 Plus as an introductory machine. Perhaps most people will be satisfied with this.

Uses aluminosilicate glass that has been chemically processed. Durability is greatly improved by using tempered glass, which has 6 times the surface strength of general glass. Furthermore, the brightness has been improved by 10%, making it easier to see the displayed contents even in bright places. It has evolved into a practical tablet that you want to take out and use not only indoors.
The Fire HD 8 Plus has the largest memory capacity of the Fire tablet series so far, with 3GB. With this update, the Fire HD 10 has increased the memory of the standard model to 3GB, and the higher model Fire HD 10 Plus has increased the memory to 4GB. When the memory capacity increases, the operation becomes comfortable when using multiple apps at the same time. Even if you already have a Fire HD 10, if you find that the number of apps you use on a daily basis is increasing and you're feeling sluggish, consider switching to a new generation.
The performance of the CPU that is the instruction system does not change, but originally uses a higher performance processor (2.0GHz: 8 cores) than Fire HD 8 Plus (2.0GHz: 4 cores). With the installed memory exceeding 3GB, it can be said that it has clearly regained its position as the top model in terms of processing power.
The old Fire HD 10 weighs 504g. It's less than half the weight of a laptop computer, but it's lighter than a laptop computer. You can easily reduce the weight by reducing the capacity of the battery, but that will shorten the drive time.
The Fire HD 10 weighs 465g and the Fire HD 10 Plus weighs 468g, while maintaining a maximum continuous drive time of up to 12 hours. I feel the soul of Amazon as a maker.
The first wireless charging feature on the Fire HD 8 Plus is now available on the Fire HD 10's higher-end model, the Fire HD 10 Plus. The biggest advantage of wireless charging is that it can be charged easily, but it is not the only advantage for Fire tablets. Unlike smartphones, tablets are large in size, so they tend to get in the way when charging.
The Fire HD 8 Plus and Fire HD 10 Plus have a dedicated wireless charging stand (made by Anker), so if you lean against it while charging, it will not waste space and will look neat and stylish. In addition, it automatically switches to Show mode while charging, so you can use the Fire HD 10 Plus as a smart display. The Fire HD 10 Plus's wireless charging function supports the three elements of charging, storage, and smart display.
Two-screen display is one of the functions that should be used on tablets instead of smartphones. With the wide 10.1-inch display area of the Fire HD 10 series, you can recognize information firmly even if you divide the screen.
You can use it like a computer, such as watching a prime video while doing research on the net, or composing an email while checking the schedule. You can take full advantage of the increased memory. The Fire HD 10 series has become more convenient to match the processing power. The ultimate one that you can't let go of at home or on the go.
The memory capacity has increased and dual screen display is also possible. If you want to use it like a personal computer, you still need a keyboard. Cases for Fire tablets with keyboards are already on sale from third parties. However, when I look at the reviews, there are complaints about quality and key input.
The Fire HD 10 series will be the first Fire tablet to have a dedicated keyboard case. I've purchased Made for Amazon certified products such as cases and charging stations, but they are all of excellent quality.
The selling price of 5,980 yen is an order of magnitude cheaper than Apple products. It is also attractive that it has a familiar Japanese layout and that the case part can be attached and detached and carried. It seems that there are many people who buy a new model because they want this keyboard-equipped case.

"Amazon Charge (cash payment)" is one of the best ways to purchase products on Amazon.
