2021 Amazon Fire HD 10 PLUS - amzn.to/2SPyE4U
After doing my review of the Amazon Fire HD 10 11th Generation, many commenters asked if they should get the regular HD 10 or the Fire HD 10 PLUS.
I decided to pick up the Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus and do a review and comparison of the Fire HD 10 vs Fire HD 10 Plus.
Overall, I felt like the HD 10 Plus was worth the upgrade only because it is only $30 to upgrade to it over the regular HD 10.

Are you getting either and, if so, which one are you going with?
I'm still on the fence. I have the 2019 version and am seriously thinking about upgrading. If I do upgrade, I will definitely get the plus version for the extra RAM.
Trading in my 2019 version for the new plus!
@@Tesseus I just ordered one. Couldn't resist the special Prime Day price. But for only $30, it's not worth trading in my old tablet. I'm gonna keep it.
@@OOICU812 Yes the Prime Day price is too good! About the trade in: you also get 20% off the full price so it's like an additional $36 off, so combined with the $30 it's like you get $66 back.
Got the fire hd10 plus on Prime day. Great tablet awesome price.
I ordered the 10 on prime day. Giving to my 92 year old dad. It should keep up with him. He likes simple games and keeping up with all us kids and grandkids.
Lol love this.. hope he enjoys it!
If hes made it this far hes probably gonna make it to 100.. you should have got him the 4gb version lol. I hope hes well..
good idea! My dad will be 93 this year, I guess yours is already (since it's been a year!), I was interested if he uses it enough to be worth it. Thanks!
I bought the Plus for the extra RAM and the grey soft-touch finish. I haven't been disappointed, but I was glad to see your comparison.
Yeah the plus is with the extra $30
Nice video. I went with the plus for future proofing, am loving it.
SPOILER Alert! Most of the soft touch plastic finish end up being a greasy sticky mess. You should avoid those finishes on plastic devices they always deteriorate. 30$ just for 1 Gb of RAM I DONT THINK SO. I bought the 10 standard model on Amazon prime day on just 79$. Then used Amazon fire toolkit, and now have and awesome ad free and junk free android tablet. Still my iPad rocks. But this baby it’s a cheap substitute for internet browsing, RUclips, TV streams and daily use.
First time listening and really liked your coverage. Was doing impulse shopping as I have two previous units but this one is even better and will be my last. Going with the plus with 32 gb and have loads of memory chips as more and more use the micro chips. Thanks for the coverage going to listen to some more of yours.
I got the plus primarily for the wireless chaging feature. Less wear and tear on the usb port. Eventually, (as with other devices that use usb ports for charging) the port or cable wont work anymore. Both can be fixed, but it's much easier to use wireless for charging. I use the port occasionally for tranferring data between the kindle and my computer.
wireless charging shortens battery life
Have used the Kompanio powered Fire HD 10 Tab and I'm pretty happy with it
I'm a compulsive app closer so I think the regular HD10 will be fine 🙂 and the 8 core processor is super op. This baby is only $79 plus tax right now for prime day. I already ordered mine as a birthday present to myself 🥳
Hi Aaron - I found your channel while searching for reviews of the Fire HD10 Plus. I love your Dad type perspective and the great review of this tablet. I have a 1st grader at home and share my Kindle Fire with him often. This new version is definitely a step up from my older HD 10 model. I hope this one doesn't have that annoying ad based price discount like on the prior model. In any case the extra RAM does look helpful and I do like the wireless charging option even though it is kind of lame like you said. Love your review. Adding a sub to your channel and looking forward to more of your videos. Do you have a Patreon membership plan and/or is there anyway for folks to show appreciation for your content?
Great Video truly helps 👍 keep up the great work
Great video. Helped me decide the regulard 10 is probably ok for me because I'm not sure how much that soft touch matters if you're going to end up putting it in a case which is what I think I'm going to do.
Glad it helped!
Awesome review! 😊
I doubt anyone is reading the comments on a year old video, but here's my thoughts, having just bought a second Fire HD 10 (the first was for my daughter, this is for me).
1) The grippy back would be nice, but is irrelevant if you are going to be using a case, which I would have thought a high proportion of people are. Especially if you are using the multi-tasking, where you might be using a keyboard case.
2) Most reviews say go for the HD Plus because the $30 is such a small increment for he extra processor. It's only a 20% increase on the base price of $149 after all. BUT, it you are doing the sensible thing and waiting for Prime Day or Black Friday sales, where the base price is $79, it's a 38% increase, which makes it a lot less worth it for what you get extra.
So I'd say pay the extra at full price but not if you can wait and buy at the discounted price.
The only other reason is to get the wireless charging, which as the review here says is rarely a massive advantage. I would guess the only big reason for doing that would be to look neater if you were using the charging stand and leaving it mostly in one spot somewhere visible as a home automation hub or an Echo Show alternative.
A couple of thoughts a month after getting the Fire 10 HD.
- I like it. It does what I want it to do. I think it was excellent value. No regrets here.
- Installing the Google Play Store APK has made it much more useful. Following a RUclips video made it very straightforward.
- I had to get the version with ads because for some reason that was the only option Amazon offered. I assumed I would pay and change the settings via my account later, as I’ve done with other Kindles, but actually it’s just the background on the lock screen. They are so unobtrusive that I haven’t bothered.
- The responsiveness is not perfect. There is often a slight lag after screen presses that sometimes causes you to press twice. Not just demanding software, even settings menus etc. Load times and responsiveness are noticeably slower than my 5 year old iPhone X, even with the likely throttling it’s doing with its ageing (second) battery. I don’t know if that is normal, I haven’t used other budget android tablets to compare and I don’t know if the plus would have been better. The videos I’ve seen suggest not.
Thanks for the video!
I love your videos I love them!
thanks for the video. i just bought the plus version before seeing this video. i think the 1gig ram alone is worth the 30 bucks. i want to emulate some games on this pad, so 1gig is quite a bit.
Hello I'm interested in the 10 plus myself. How about sharing best case for the new portal stand? TIA
Thank you, I’m thinking of getting the fire 10 for my sister I also will get a cover so she will be able to set it to stand on its own to watch a movie.
I got one for my sister in-law and she truly loves it fire 10 with a cover that lets the fire stand on its own and gives a little form of protection.
Thanks
So useful; right now, since it's prime day. Thanks!
Days before Prime Deal Days I happen to have an older 🔥 Tab 8 from Amazon as a gift and was so impressed of the Tab8 I wanted to upgrade to the latest models with an octa core 2.0 ghz and 10 inch screen. The Fire 10.1 is a bit bigger then avarege brands of size. The octa core is upgraded from quad core of the Fire 8. I am very impressed of the Fire HD 10 of also being true full 1080p besides the speed of processing. These Fire Tablets are very useful if ya a media junkie. I use separate Tablets for separate functions in favor of not using a PC for this of is latest trend of using multiple tablets of using different applications. I have a LenovaTab8 with same cpu octa core 2.0 ghz with 2k resolution and must admit the Fire 10 is equal to the Lenova but the Fire 10 was more affordable at only 74$ total on Amazon. It's refurbished but looks new, with ad promo screen which only pops up on sleep mode and barely notice anything annoying. GREAT BUY, if not the BEST Tablet overall of getting more then the money you paid. A MUST tablet to have with your group of tablets which is the trend of using multiple tablets to replace the PC due to saving electricity and more convenient for today's ever changing times of tech use.
Great video. 👍
On BlackFriday deal, it's a steal. Around 85 euro with delivery for HD10 2021, I don't think anything can beat it the price/performance you get.
very helpful thanks!!!
I have an older gen of the Fire HD 10 (7th Gen) and I've loved it but I must have damaged the charging port because I now have problems trying to charge it. Since today is Amazon Prime Day I will probably buy the Plus so that I can have the wireless charging capability as a backup. I wish that my charging port wasn't damaged though because otherwise my 7th Gen Fire HD 10 still works great.
i also found my charging port became no functional and I was no longer able to charge my kindle. I tiik it to a local repair guy and the price he was going to charge to fix it was almost as much as a new kindle on rime day.
So I went for the new plus
Getting the HD 8 Plus today. in watching RUclips comparisons, doesn't seem to be much difference. Saw HD 10 plus at a good price on the Mercadi app for $80 , but I'm gonna stick with what I'm getting today.
Thanks for doing this comparison, helps a lot! I'm going with the PLUS. Seems well worth $30
No problem
Do they have a show mode dock for the 10 and 10 plus?
Just a guess because in the running shoe world saving weight means reducing the rubber footprint. So the 1gb ram and wireless charging circuitry are prolly not adding the 3 grams. Good review and any chance you can compare 32gb vs 64gb? Thanks.
Since they all are currently on sale ive been debating on which one to get. The soft touch and wireless charging arent a big deal for me cause i would definitely get a protective case for it. But i do like that extra gig of ram.
Just get the 3GB for $75 as the H@RDW@R€ hasn't changed from the previous 2019 MoDeL... Will add the 4GB/64GB in next MoDeL should they upgrade that Hardware.
For the current $145 $aLe on the 4/64GB, you may as well get 2x3/32GB... always good to have another Backup 😎
Nice unboxing and review
Thank you 🤗
Only works with Wi-Fi or you could add SIM card for your carrier and pay for that to stream whenever and where ever you please?
Hi sir should I buy honor band 6 if I don't have HONOR PHONE and how is it's accuracy
Thanks, I ordered both for Prime day. Cancelled the 10 based on the review.
Hope you like the plus
HD 10 right now is $79 for a 32gb .. I don’t need a tablet at all due to having a 2020 iPad Pro 11, but for that price I kind of want one.
Hello, could you guide me how to install playstore for 11 gen tab, i have tried many options available on you tube and nothing worked
The best thing about fire tablets is dumping the Amazon OS and making them stock android tablets. You get a nice mid range android tablet for a cheap price that way. 😉
100% agree... very easy to do too
Hi i am unable to install stock Android in my fire hd 10 11 gen tab. Please guide me
@@dad.0 hate to ask but how do you do that?
@@robglobal1 by using a software on your pc called fire tool box.It is very easy to do.
I thought the latest version of fire os 7... did not work according to slickdeal commenter.
Can you print to a wireless printer from the HD 10 ?? OR 10 PLUS
I canceled the Fire HD 10 to upgrade my order to the plus once I realized it was a thing. I was confused and thought the 64GB model came with 4GB of ram and the 32GB came with 3GB. Then I realized there was a plus model lol. Kind of a pricey upgrade for an extra GB of ram but its still worth it in my opinion because 3GB really isn't much ram nowadays neither is 4GB but 4GB really is impressive on a 100 dollar tablet and great for lite to moderate use. If this device had less bezel it would be amazing for the price. I mean it's still very nice for the price but just having that large screen real estate would make it pop. I do feel like 64GB should be the base amount of storage though as 32GB is a joke nowadays especially since the OS and bloatware typically take up a good chunk of that. But it is nice that I can pop in a quality microSD card and run it as internal storage.
I just wish I could get one for myself I'm ordering this for a family member.
Your also paying for wireless charging on the plus which the regular doesn't have
@@SKYELOVER yeah it's definitely something what you can get nowadays in the $100 range.
@@TheFrogInYourClosetWatchingYou you really can't no tablet offered true wireless charging only kindle so far rest require docks to charge and that is on limited models
You forget the wear and tear on the plug. Wireless charging could save you if it accidentally gets damaged
Could you also cover keyboards for the HD10?
I have a 7th gen fire tablet hd10 so what’s the difference between 7th gen and 11th gen?
Thank you.
i bro i have a little question coz i just buy fire 10 hd
can i change alexa name & voice in fire hd 10 ?
Thank you
You didn't notice a difference but would recommend the 10 plus anyway because of the grip?
so, on amazon's site it's saying that the display on the plus is brighter. Are you not finding this not to be the case? When I'm watching shows on my regular Fire 10 it's really hard to make out anything in darker lit scenes. So i was wondering if the Plus might solve this. What's your take?
I don't think that is due to brightness but is actually a result of light bleed with makes the blacks washed out
That's great! Do you know if by adapter, it accepts connection by ethernet? Thank you!
I would think so but not sure
Thank u❤️
More RAM is not just for faster response and having more apps open in the background, most importantly it's also futureproofing it
Definitely worth an upgrade. Though, I think the Mediatek chipsets used in both the devics is very similar.
They are the exact same
Hello, I tried to connect the tablet to my smartphone so that I can access the internet outside of my home. I am able to connect through hotspot but says no internet. My phone has internet but when the tablet is connected, I can't get internet. Any help besides restart the tablet or restart your phone would be greatly appreciated.
Got the plus today. Figure If I run this device for two-plus years, it's just an extra $15 per year. Also not a big fan of wireless charge, wireless charging only comes in handy for me it's what I charge my phone in the car.
Can this be set up for kids only?
Good review not worth the additional cost
I'm sticking to the normal Fire HD 10 because I want to save my money and I don't care much about wireless charging.
I have both,the Fire 10 charging port is giving me trouble,so i wish I had wireless to fall back on.
Just got one for my wife. Hope she likes it!
Can you remove kindle of HD’s 10
I wish you had covered more the information on the Office program, if it is a permanent or if there is yearly fee.
Microsoft Office is a yearly fee
Update: Cyber Monday etc...You can now get the plus for almost the same price after thier trade if offer...( 32 plus about $73... 64 plus $105) even if your older tablet is not working. I contacted Customer service before buying... They made a note in my file if I purchased first, they would reimburse me the difference of trade in offer.... I did not have to send my older broken tablet back! I do NOT know if you purchase BEFORE contacting customer service.. if they will still honor discounts... They might though!
If you had to choose between the Samsung a7 tablet or fire hd 10 plus, which would you pick? Lets say you only had to pay 15 dollars more for the a7 which one would you go with?
A7
@@dad.0 Thanks for the prompt reply, and great content on this channel
The wireless charging is way better IMHO no worn out Sockets or tripped over cords to fret about.
For anyone who has ever had a broken charge port make a device worthless wireless charging is a true must have for any phone or tablet.
If i game on a tablet its usualy something simple like bounzy, home/garden scape, and few other games that are similar. I dont use tablet to do intense gaming like my consoles. Most time i prefer just watch videos, surf web, check email, and chat with friends.
Not sure whether the PLUS is worth it or not, but between my wife and I, we've had 3 Kindle tablets quit working and at least 2 of them are due to the charging port losing connecting due to poor quality mfg. I am wondering if the QI charging would eliminate most of that? I'm also trying to figure out why we get $20 off just once for ads that we get to view for eternity (or until the next charging port fails)? Seems it would be a bit more fair if you got the $20 off your yearly Prime fee.
I'd imagine it would help if it was the usb c port that was defective
What are people using for an anti virus protection?
How this tab rate
How can I get my password to take in email after factory reset?
I like my 10 plus, but i'm having issues sideloading apps
Call me crazy but with Amazon Prime Day coming soon, I wonder if they will discount these new Fire HD 10’s by a little bit 👀
As us Minnesotans say... you betcha
They always do.
On sale now.
now they are worth buying, prime day has the plus 10 at $109 and regular at $79
£70 off both... But which one do I buy 😅
I got the hd10 plus and played metro exodus with the Luna. The 4gb is well worth it.
there a lot App you can't download into this Tablet like Wise View, KP.org and lot more
Dude, I think for 2 items this close, some people would like to jump to the conclusion part of the video. I mean your video is well made and all, but people are aware of the similarities, so being able to jump to your conclusion part would be nice, because the specs are so so close, and at this price point, I doubt people use this as their main device. I grabbed one just a few days ago for the black Friday deal and plan to use it as a dedicated raspberry pi mobile monitor, and I think videos showing me how to do that was super nice info on devices like this, one app and one usb hdmi capture and it is amazing how the raspberry footprint shrinks, I think that is a cool add on video to this. But if you have the time to consider the suggestion, having a jump to 5 minute mark if you are only here for the conclusion would be a nice touch, unless I missed it.
Like your comment, just jump to the point instead of the story.
I hear ya. Some still like to call out the obvious. I put in chapters to skip ahead
Does the 10 plus suffer from horrid light bleed on the screen like the 10 does?
Yup, same screen
Were you paid by amazon to make this video?
Still can't buy the plus in Canada. Like, why?
Is this tablet compatible with google Chromecast or other devices for casting video to tv?
yes, depending on the app
just got the fire hd 10 plus for 100 dllrs sale on Amazon
Join the club....
lol
Really useful comparison, personally the RAM difference is minimal and most won't notice any difference, and the finish/grip issue is up to each user. In the UK the £30 difference will more than buy a nice case so it's no brainer to go for the HD as opposed to the Plus for me. Good cases come in for less that £20. And right now in the UK you cannot buy a Plus with 64GB without Ads but you can buy the HD with 64GB without Ads... weird as both can be expanded anyway. HD standard for me
I just ordered the HD10+, mainly for the extra RAM and the productivity bundle.
Whoever liked my comment, uh, thank you! For the money, it is an excellent device and can easily be upgraded to a full on Android device.
Do they have identical processor?
Yes
yes, RAM is the only difference
Firetool box make this amazing
Seems like a no brainer going with the HD 10 PLUS... I mean, its only $30 more
Agreed
Right now you can't even find an Amazon fire hd10 plus. They're out of stock!
Just picked up 3 of the HD 10's at $149 CDN for 64gb models and 3 cases plus some tempered glass screen protectors all for same price as iPad 8th gen. 😂
I still can’t decide ... because I don’t care for the extra ram but I also want my tablet to last for years ... hmm 🤔
I'd go Plus
Do they both connect Bluetooth controllers without issue?
Yeah. They both have Bluetooth capabilities. Which connects them... But since the fire tablet is developed by Amazon and not Logitech, Microsoft, Google, or Sony, the special buttons like the big Xbox button on a Xbox controller won't work correctly, hope this help!😁
Luna controllers work amazing hence them being developed by Amazon.
March 2022 - I went for the 10 Plus, primarily for the greater RAM (4GB) and the finish. Then bought the keyboard case that covers all that up! Ha! But yes, it is a great upgrade from my old Fire HD 7 that is so old and tired now that it is barely usable!
The deal breaker for me is that the new Fire 10 will NOT display links provided by RUclips authors.
Got the 10 and got 2 for $186.
Doesn’t it come with a keyboard?
I thought it does!
i want a 8in fire hd with better gpu octa core
I prefer the HD 10 Plus for the extra gig of ram.
Just get a cheap magnetic USB adapter.
HD 10 plus is slightly better.
Agreed
Wow Amazon doesn’t care about its tablets.
Why is no one talking about Amazon using wireless charging without a glass back?
You don’t need a glass back for wireless charging. There are other devices that used wireless charging with a plastic back
@@robertguerrero2172 you’re right. Less power loss with glass but metal and plastic can and have been used for wireless charging
I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
