    *I upgraded from the 8 inch to the **Newest.Technology** 10 inch. I really didn't expect it to make that much difference but it has. It is also much faster and responsive. Great Purchase.*

    The reason why speakers are on top so your body won’t covered the sound. For me, I like to hold it resting on top of my body while laying down. When I do this I always make sure the speakers are pointing up.

  • @bufordmaddogtannen
    @bufordmaddogtannen Před 4 lety +3

    The speaker are placed down so that the sound can bounce off a table, your hands, or even your chest and feel louder.
    It has been like this for ages.

    • @martymahem236
      @martymahem236 Před 2 lety

      @@HaiderAli-tw9js It works fine, but overall I would say no, it is not worth buying. The Fire tablet is not a full Android tablet. Amazon does not allow you to use the Google Play store to download apps. You can only download apps from the Amazon App store, and their selection is infinitely smaller than Google Play. I ended up ordering a Samsung Galaxy Tab 8 plus a couple months later. It was a little more expensive, but I like it much better than the Fire Tablet as it is a full Android Tablet. But if the Amazon App store gives you the apps you want or need then this tablet could be fine for you.
      I gave the Fire tablet to a grand nephew.

      This tab it will work. You would want a OTG c cable 3.0 or 3.1; use any usb = faster transfer then the 2.0
      Otg cable- Plug in the c to the tab, and then plug in any usb using the cable.
      Or the OTG C flash drive will work as well. 2in1- Usb c or use the Usb on computer.
      Best buy sells the OTG flash drive 128gb sandisk type c and it's a good deal. Any of the 2 will work just fine.

      As small as the device is you will probably appreciate the larger bezels, especially if you are using it to read Kindle books. I had the new Paperwhite with the thin and flat bezels and I was constantly sliding my finger onto the display and flipping pages. I got rid of that Paperwhite and went with a standard Kindle reader.

U don't use the word "reading" , but we have watts , gigs of RAM, Play store, apps, software, 2 cameras, 12 hours battery, faster this and that ...processor ... Is this the TABLET for going to Mars maybe.Are you going to learn anything from this gizmo or are these things just for very forgettable entertainment. Just asking. Sometimes I think people don't realize just what a deep set of stuff they are getting in a product like this , for maybe under 100 bucks. It's important to remember the amazing age we are in.

I have a HD 8 2016. It received a software update a few weeks ago... I add the play store to all my fire tablets and I'm also a prime member.....so as you said, best of both worlds.
