Amazon’s Newest Fire Tablet Is Only $150, With 10,000 Units Sold In the Last Month Alone

Amazon has made a name for itself with its slate of Alexa-enabled devices, but the retail giant is also a leader when it comes to its lineup of tablets. Whether for work or streaming, Amazon’s Fire Tablets offer up huge value, especially when compared to Apple’s iPad or the Samsung Galaxy Tab.

Case in point: A new deal gets you the all-new Fire HD 10 Tablet on sale for just $154.99, less than half the price of the cheapest iPad on Amazon. This is a bestseller on Amazon too, with the site reporting more than 10,000 units sold in the last few weeks alone. Almost 80% of shoppers, meantime, give the tablet a full, five-star review.

The Fire Tablet features a 10.1-inch full HD display with millions of dazzling pixels that bring your content to life in full, vivid color. Amazon says the Fire HD 10 is almost 20% brighter than the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 when comparing the two side by side.

With up to 13 hours of battery life, meantime, the Amazon Fire Tablet beats the iPad by three extra hours, letting you spend more time connected to your device and less time waiting for it to charge.

Features-wise, the HD 10 Tablet comes with 32GB of storage, a super fast octa-core processor (that offers “25% faster performance than the previous generation,” per Amazon) and 4GB of RAM for instant responsiveness and smooth loading of all your apps and content.

The 5MP front-facing camera is great for taking calls, while the 5MP rear-facing cameras can be used for snapping photos or shooting video in stunning 1080p HD quality. The tablet is great for streaming too, with Dolby Atmos sound and a large, crisp display.

The Fire HD 10 Tablet is one of most durable tablets on the market, which makes it great for travel or commuting. Amazon says the Fire HD 10 was almost three times as durable as the Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 when measured in “tumble testing.” The Fire Tablet screen, meantime, is reinforced with a scratch-resistant aluminosilicate glass.

The Fire Tablet can be used as an e-reader or as a digital notebook with the Amazon Stylus Pen (sold separately). Amazon says the tablet has been refined with more than 4,000 levels of “pressure sensitivity,” allowing it to better respond to your writing and sketching. We personally use a Fire Tablet to take notes during our weekly pitch meetings, share ideas (via Microsoft OneNote) and to keep track of assignments.

The Amazon deal gets you a brand new Fire HD 10 Tablet for its cheapest price this year. You can save an additional 20% off if you trade-in an old device. See full details here.
