Amazon’s Fire HD 10, one of our picks for best Android tablets, is getting both a refresh and a new Plus version that features wireless charging.
Amazon announced the revamped 10-inch tablets today alongside its upcoming line of Kids Fire Pro products, which are designed for older children. Models range from $99 to over $200.
On the Fire HD 10, you’re still getting a 2GHz eight-core processor. But the company has bumped up the RAM from 2GB to 3GB.
Amazon also says the tablet is thinner and lighter than the 2019 model, while the 1080p Full HD display is 10% brighter. Its expandable storage, meanwhile, can now top out at 1TB instead of just 512GB, if you slot in the appropriate microSD card. It's still $149, and battery life remains at 12 hours.
For $30 more, the Fire HD 10 Plus largely has the same specs as the standard Fire HD 10, but raises the RAM to 4GB. The other standout feature is wireless charging, which means you can prop up the product on a compatible charging stand, turning the touch-screen tablet into a smart display.

Amazon is also selling these products under a “productivity bundle,” which will add a 12-month subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal and a detachable keyboard case, starting at $219.
Both tablets ship on May 26, but you can place pre-orders now. The Fire HD 10 Plus is designed to work with any compatible Qi-certified charging device. However, Amazon has partnered with Anker to create a dedicated wireless charging dock for tablets, which will be available for $49.
To appeal to children ages 3 to 7, the Fire HD 10 Kids Edition is a refresh of the 2019 model. The new version has also increased the RAM to 3GB while upgrading the rear-facing camera from 2MP to 5MP. It'll retail starting at $199, and you still get the kid-proof case, which comes with a built-in stand.
For children ages 6 to 12, Amazon is introducing the Fire Kids Pro lineup, which adds more digital content for older children to the existing 7-inch, 8-inch, and new 10-inch Fire tablets.
“Kids Pro tablets include access to a digital store so kids can request apps like Disney+, Spotify, Minecraft, Zoom, and more. Kids can request apps, and parents approve purchases and downloads,” the company said.
According to Amazon, the interface on the Pro tablets also has a “grown-up” feel while the web-browsing experience is more open so children can work on school projects and access online curriculum. In addition, the Kids Pro tablets support voice and video calls. However, parents can still rein in access through parental controls to manage screen time, as well as voice and video calling on the tablet.
