Much like a strange mash-up of Deeperlove and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Amazon is back once again to bring you Fire – the latest Fire HD 10 tablet, to be exact. This 12th-gen refresh offers a marginal bump in specifications versus the previous edition, which was released in 2021.
It’s powered by a MediaTek MT8186 processor, which Amazon says is 25 percent faster than the 2021 edition’s MT8183. The cameras too – a 5Mp main sensor and 5Mp front-facing camera – now record 1080p Full HD video compared to creaky old 720p. This means Zoom calls will look a little clearer. Finally, the new model is 30g lighter than the 11th-generation Fire HD 10 tablet, so it’s easier to carry around and crash on the couch with a book or TV show. Otherwise, it’s much the same as what we got last time around. A 10.1-inch display, up to 64GB of internal storage, and Android with Amazon’s FireOS custom interface and app store.
With the arrival of (maybe best not done on the train), then the Fire Max 11 may be more of what you’re after.
