We have the definitive listing of the best Amazon Fire Tablets to help you make your purchase decision. Fire Tablets have been around for almost a decade. Many thought that Amazon was onto something with a low-cost, easy-to-use tablet experience when the original Kindle Fire was released in 2011. You know what? They were correct. If you count the Kids Editions, there are no fewer than six Fire tablets on offer. The Fire HD 8 (2020) is the best overall value because of its size, improved processor, charging, storage capabilities, and ability to hit an affordable price point still. There are some of the best Fire Tablets on the market right now.

The Fire HD 8 is in between the Fire 7 and Fire HD 10. It is priced in the middle of the two sizes, but it is also in the middle. There are two data points that justify the Fire HD 8 being a great choice.

The lowest-priced Fire device you can get is this one. You can quickly and cheaply add to the base model's storage with a microSD card and expand it up to 1 terabytes. With up to 12 hours of battery life, you can play games on the go and watch movies. The device comes with a jack for a headphones to listen to music or videos. The Amazon app store has better offerings than it used to.

Our favorite feature is hands-free. You can ask questions or give commands. This device is great as an entertainment portal, but it can also serve as a smart home hub. You can control your lights, thermostat, and Ring camera with the touch screen, or you can use it to video chat with friends and family. There are two 2MP cameras, one on the front and one on the back.

Even though the Fire HD 10 has a bigger screen, we think the Fire HD 8 has all you need for a great entertainment experience. The current iteration has the same port as the HD 10. The addition of Game Mode for distraction-free gaming will please both the kids and the adults in the family.

Fire HD 10 is the most realistic video and gaming experience on a Fire Tablet. We know it is the most expensive fire, but you know what? It is still affordable. If you can find another iPad or tablet that is the same size as this one, you should.

The Fire HD 10 is the largest Amazon tablet with a full HD display, coming in at 1920x1200 resolution. It has up to 12 hours of battery life, and it comes with a headphone jack and dual stereo speakers. It has the same 2MP cameras as on the HD 8 and has a VGA front-facing camera.

The Fire HD 10 has the best processor of the Fire Tablet line, as well as more storage than its size would suggest, and it has the best camera on the market. You can use that speed to watch hours of Prime Video, and you can also play mobile games on that full HD screen.

The Fire HD 10 was a bit heavy for some at 17.8 ounces, but the latest version is a bit lighter at 16.4 ounces. It is a great device for reading books, newspapers, magazines, or even websites because there is so much more screen space to view your content.

The HD 10 Plus has the same features as the HD 8 Plus, including increased RAM and wireless charging. The HD 10 Plus is included in the Productivity Bundle, which also includes a year of Microsoft Office and a keyboard.

The HD 10 Plus has more storage than the HD 8 Plus but it can be charged in as little as 3.5 hours. Similar to the HD 8 Plus, the HD 10 Plus can also charge.

The HD 10 Plus isn't compatible with the wireless charging dock released alongside the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus. The HD 10 Plus is more expensive than the HD 8 Plus and the regular HD 10, but I think the benefits and extras offered as part of the HD 10 Plus ensure you will get a lot more use out of it than any other Amazon Fire Tablet.

Amazon Fire 7 (2022)

The Fire 7 is the entry point for every excellent product line. This version is the perfect portable companion for anyone who wants a low-cost tablet to watch their favorite shows on, play games, read their favorite book, or surf the web or check Facebook. The Fire Tablets come with two cameras, a 720p HD video camera, and you can still take some decent shots and video chat to your heart's content.

If you could get an affordable family tablet, this would be a great option. You can easily afford a protective case with the savings you will get on this device. You can add Amazon Kids+ whenever you want.

Even though it is not HD resolution, the screen looks good for most use cases, and you can still access all of your favorite content through this device. You can add to its internal storage with a microSD card. The Fire 7 is already cheap, but you can often find it on special for less.

The price alone may make some object to this pick. The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is more expensive than the Fire HD 10 Tablet, even though they are essentially the same device. Why is this happening? It has all of the extras, which adds up to a good value.

The Kids Edition Fire Tablets come with a kid-proof case with a built-in stand to protect them from accidents. You can get the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro in a number of colors. You can send the device back at any time if it gets damaged, and Amazon will send you a new one if you don't like it.

Digital peace of mind is just as important as physical device security. The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro comes with parental controls that allow you to decide what your child can and cannot do. It is easy to set screen time limits, curfews, or limit content. By default, in-app purchasing is disabled. One year of Amazon Kids+ is included with the device, which gives you access to 20,000 apps, books, videos, games, audiobooks, and educational content.

The option to expand the storage capacity via the microSD card slot is included in the specifications. You can get unlimited cloud storage for any Amazon purchases. The device can get up to 12 hours of battery life depending on usage, and it features dual stereo speakers and a headphone jack. When you want to have the kids chat with the grandparents, there are 2MP front and 5MP rear-facing cameras and a 720p video camera.

The lineup of Amazon Fire Tablets has never been so complete, and we can understand why these are among the best on the market. They offer a great entertainment experience with industry-leading parental controls and child content options, as well as access to Amazon's connected home platform, at a fantastic value. The iPad is the only one that can compete.

The Fire HD 8 is the best choice for most people. It has an impressive HD screen, and is hands-free. If you pick up two or three of these for less than the cost of an iPad, you can easily share it with your family.
