This Fire HD 10 deal stands out as a cheap large screen tablet for media, kids, comics, photo frames, and home dashboard use. The slate color variant is repeatedly confirmed as the Fire HD 10 Plus with 4GB of RAM, and Fire Toolbox or sideloaded Play Store support can make it more usable for browsing, streaming, and simple apps. The main drawback is speed, with repeated reports of sluggish performance, memory limits, and weak long term support. USB C hub charging is also problematic, and the tablet is best suited to light, mostly passive use.

Common Questions (5)

  • It works well for light, mostly passive tasks such as comics, downloaded media, PBS Kids, digital photo frames, and home-automation dashboards. It is slow for web browsing and interactive use, so it fits best when you mainly view content rather than multitask.

  • Yes, it can be hacked with Fire Toolbox and Launcher Manager, and some setups add the Play Store or a custom launcher for a more usable interface. The key caveat is to block FireOS updates before connecting to Wi‑Fi, because later updates can reduce support for these tweaks.

  • Yes. The Slate color models are the Fire HD 10 Plus variant and have 4GB RAM; the black 64GB model is described as 3GB. Several buyers also verified the RAM in Developer Options and on the About screen.

  • It is generally slow, with some users describing it as only good for one app at a time and others saying web pages reload when memory runs out. A few report it is serviceable after tweaks for media and light browsing, but it is not a strong choice if speed matters.

  • Not reliably. The tablet's USB-C implementation is barebones and often does not work with typical USB-C hubs for power pass-through or full data/video features, and some setups trigger a moisture-detected error. A hub that supports charging may still work for other devices, but this model is a poor fit for that use case.

You can open pages, it's just that trying to interact with the page would reload it half the time because it ran out of memory.
What kind of pages are you interacting with? The thing has 3GB of ram. It shouldn't run out of memory unless whatever page you are looking at has more video ads than content.

I would advise caution buying these as I believe they do not connect to WPA3 wifi networks

Absolute garbage. It should be illegal to sell this e-waste.

I think you may have misread it - I just checked the Wikipedia page, and it says "Also higher RAM versions were released: 3 GB RAM in the HD 8 Plus in 2020 and 4 GB RAM in the HD 10 Plus in 2021." Not 2023.

I and hundreds of others have gotten this HD10 Slate deal before. Actually using it rn checking the Dev options says 4.0 GB and About -> "Fire HD 10 Plus (11th generation)".

Happy to dm pic if needed, but definitely can confirm. Also look up past Slickdeals threads and you'll see that others also confirmed. If I recall correctly, a woot representative confirmed that "Slate" color option (which isn't a valid color for the non plus version) is a plus version, in one of the earlier threads.

GLHF!
There was an exploit out there that allowed to block FireOS updates. It also allowed custom launcher:

If one gets a tablet from the deal, don't let it connect to WiFi, and try to block the updates.

Interestingly, Amazon is offering $20 + 20% off the next tablet when trading in a Fire 10

So these tablets can't run Fire Toolbox? That's been patched?

You have to install a custom launcher through this method?

Depends on your use case. For as much as they're handicapped they're okay for casual consumption. I'd prefer a cheaper Chinese tablet that has more storage and doesn't require as much hacking to get Google apps working (and pokemon go! No gps)
Please share a link to cheaper Chinese tablet that you have working for Pokemon Go. Thanks!

You couldn't pay me to get another cheap Fire tablet. I've had two that worked just fine for a good while, but eventually they both ran so slowly that I couldn't really load any websites or watch any videos, and it takes almost thirty seconds just to wake the damn thing up from sleep. I don't know whether it's poor specs or Amazon using firmware updates to intentionally cripple old hardware, but I'd suspect the latter since they both worked fine before.

Can these be hacked with Fire Toolbox or does that not work anymore with the latest updates on these tablets?
a post on reddit says this 2021 model is the "last/best" model that you can use fire toolbox on, I haven't looked further than that...

You can just side load the Google Play store directly. You don't need fire toolbox. These are great for kids.
