The budget-friendly Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is down to its lowest price this year

One particular brand tends to shine when it comes to cheap tablet deals: the Amazon Fire range. Usually, the best prices are available during Prime Day and other major sales events. However, right now, you can buy the Amazon Fire HD 10 at Amazon for $89.99 (was $139.99). You can also get the Fire HD 10 at Amazon UK for £104.99 (was £149.99).

It was $15 cheaper during Black Friday, but it hasn’t dipped that low ever since, and I can’t see the Amazon Fire HD 10 seeing a better discount until Prime Day – and that’s still a couple of months away in July. If you’re looking for a cheap tablet, now is the time to buy, as it usually costs over $90 at a minimum during other times of the year.

Ranking high in our look at the best cheap tablets, the Amazon Fire HD 10 is a good option for entertaining the kids on long journeys or simply for casual streaming or web browsing.

The best cheap Amazon tablet around, we may not have been huge fans in our Amazon Fire HD 10 review but that price cut makes a huge difference. It’s “incredibly hardy” and is a “handy Alexa command center” while providing a nice looking full HD display.

Among the best cheap tablets, it’s hard to fault the Amazon Fire HD 10 even if you are stuck in the Amazon ecosystem without Google Play support. It won’t compete with the best tablets but nor should you expect it to at this price. For a simple way of providing entertainment, it’s all good.
