Check back after we're done testing the tablet in the CNET Labs for results from our battery-drain testing.
#Amazon kindle fire hd6 full#
With a little less than 50 percent battery life I was able to stream about three hours of video with the brightness on full blast, and at only 10 percent remaining, I was able to squeeze out about half an hour of reading. With casual to heavy use, the tablet lasted about two and a half days on a full charge. In actual use, battery life for the Fire HD 6 was preemptively impressive. The 2-megapixel rear camera is fine for quick snapshots. If the tablet is in the process of downloading a large file, gesture response can become delayed or staggered - a typical downside to tablets with less than 2GB of RAM. Touchscreen response was quick and accurate. Reading e-books was smooth sailing, however the lack of an ambient light sensor requires manually adjusting the screen's brightness when changing environments. Text is also clear and easy to read at the smallest and largest fonts. Colors appear true to life, but sometimes fall flat when watching cartoons or CGI-infused movies. HD video looks sharp on the small 1,280x800-pixel resolution IPS LCD screen. There have been plenty of $99 tablets that haven't been worth your time, but the Fire HD 6 isn't just a throwaway cheap slate, it's a low-priced tablet that packs in plenty for the money and is well worth its price.
#Amazon kindle fire hd6 upgrade#
If you're not cloud-centric about your content, the upgrade to the 16GB is a smart investment and only a small bump in price.
Amazon's top-of-the-line small tablet, Fire HDX 7, starts at $199 (at current exchange rates that's £124, €181 or AU$263) and packs more features and better performance, but if you're looking to keep costs low, you can enjoy all of your Amazon content on the 6-inch Fire HD for about half the price. The specs on the 6-inch tablet aren't the most cutting edge, but for a rock-bottom price, its lack of Google Play store and girthy plastic construction can be forgiven.īudget tablets have slowly improved in quality throughout the years, and the Fire HD 6 continues to up the ante. In comparison to its 7-inch counterpart, the Fire HD 6 sports a more compact build that's easier for travel and commuting, not to mention lighter on your wallet.
