Awesome, thank you.
There is no "usually" in 2020: https://mobilesyrup.com/2020/07/21/amaz ... this-year/
Build quality will be better than equivalent priced china-branded tablets. Other than that, completely agree with what you said. Having said that, my kids uses these and are perfect for younger kids. Also, they are perfect for "dedicated use" applications, like if you wanted to use one specifically to answer your video doorbell for example... the 7" version, although far inferior in terms of performance is even better for dedicated use applications, especially at coming in at $29 USD on sale.Bananacat wrote: ↑ I would not recommend these. They suck. Slow bogged down ******** tablets. By the time you get it working right it will be obsolete. Just buy a china off brand tablet for same price and will stomp this junk. Lots and lots of problems with Canadian residents. Everything from Alexa to audible not really working proper. No casting to devices other then Fire Tv's either. They are a real drag and disappointment. In my opinion you can't really take advantage of the amazon software unless you actually have a amazon.com account. You will be pulling your hair out trying to figure stuff out. Hard to root. Lots of 3rd party apps and tools needed to get basic stuff on it from the play store. Lots and lots of " This app is not compatible with your device" warnings. They are alright for kids and they take a beating though. So there is always that. Amazon does live up to their warranty to. That said I would never buy another Fire os device until the day I die. Or I moved to the USA. This is not ready for Canada customers in my opinion.
Plus Prime day is coming this fall. These will be deeply discounted most likely like every prime day. I would wait until October. Buying a Fire tablet at a high price is asking for regret. These things go on major sale every few months.
That's a bit extreme. About 80% of Android apps work fine on the Fire tablets, whether from the Amazon app store, the Google Play Store, or side-loaded. About 10% have compatibility issues, and another 10% require high performance that you aren't going to get in a low-priced tablet to run smoothly.
If you can, definitely wait for the Kindle Fire HD 2019 edition to go on sale. I bought mine for $179 (or maybe even $149) last Christmas - at the time, I was considering this and the Galaxy Tab A. The tablet experience out of the box is "Meh", but if your tech savvy (or don't mind learning something new), you can go on XDA forums and find out how to revert the Kindle back to stock android. Once I did that, it was amazing - the internals are even better than the TAB A (higher antutu and geekbench scores). Honestly it was the best money I ever spent on a tablet (from a value perspective).
