For example, if your screen had a 2 x 2 resolution (4 pixels total) and you made a square using all 4 pixels it would fill the entire screen. Now the same square on a higher resolution screen say 200 x 200, should also take up the full screen using 40,000 pixels but the square should be smoother because it is made up of more pixels. Instead the lazy developers still make the square 4 x 4 pixels on the higher resolution screen making the image extremely small. They justify their laziness by saying you get more screen real estate.
I had a $225 8.4 inch Samsung tablet with a higher resolution, something like 1600 x 2350, that I couldn't stand because the text was so small it was like reading the fine print of a contract or credit card agreement. Despite increasing the font size the problem persisted because apps determined the font size within them because the programmers aren't going to program for a bunch of different resolutions. More stuff fit on the screen resulting in clutter.
This results in no memory available when an app you are using needs it causing the app to slow to a crawl or crash as the OS tries to swap out used ram for the app instead of having it immediately available as the app you are using needs. It.
This is why a tablet will run fast when you get it but slow down as you put more apps on it. Statistically Goggle has more stupid people working for them than any other company.

EDIT* I had these tablets in "kid safe" cases as well. Oversized hard rubber cases. The kids would start complaining after a bit that the volume buttons weren't working or the screen would not respond to their fingers. I would pull the tablets out of the cases and see a very large and noticeable warp to the body. Many times forcing the screen to pop out from the housing. The area around the volume button on all 3 bent out at a sharp 45 degree angle and broke off as that part of the body is the thinnest. Once that piece breaks, the rest of the body soon follows. As others said, cheap Chinese junk.
I own the 2021 4GB Fire HD 10+ and unless I play whack a mole on the background processes it is a piece of junk. It's my last Fire tablet that I will ever purchase because I have had nothing but issues related to the OS in this and older generation tablets.
I'm going to wait and see during Prime Day on the Linc. If it isn't that great of a tablet I'm only down $100.

I've closed the apps. The issue is that even doing that you have to close the background processes. That is where I see the difference. I've even disabled notifications and these apps still spawn.
