Title: Amazon's latest sale knocks up to 50 percent off Fire tablets Post by: HCK on October 03, 2022, 04:05:02 pm Amazon's latest sale knocks up to 50 percent off Fire tablets
<p>Amazon appears to be kicking off its fall Prime Day event (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-prime-early-access-sale-2022-everything-you-need-to-know-134524557.html) a little early. Hot on the heels of announcing a new generation of gadgets (https://www.engadget.com/heres-everything-amazon-announced-at-its-fall-hardware-event-195138747.html), the company is holding a sale on Echo smart displays (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-echo-show-5-new-low-price-35-dollars-150003966.html), Fire TV devices (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-fire-tv-stick-4k-max-all-time-low-of-35-154011085.html) and, it seems, <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:Fire tablets;" href="https://www.amazon.com/deal/7af64f07?&linkCode=ll2&tag=gdgt0c-p-o-1dds-20&linkId=bba477c6ba8b4c1ad430a200fec708c1&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Fire tablets[/url]. Highlights include the Fire 10 HD, which is <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:back down to $75;" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BX7FV5L/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=dealpost2022-20&language=en_US">back down to $75[/url], a price we last saw during Amazon's Prime Day event in July. Meanwhile, the new Fire 7 tablet <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:has been discounted to $45;" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096WKKK2K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=dealpost2022-20&language=en_US">has been discounted to $45[/url].</p><a class="athena-button" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BX7FV5L/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=dealpost2022-20&language=en_US" id="b49996c7caab40888e2cd41501930430" data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:Amazon Fire HD 10">Buy Fire HD 10 at Amazon - $75[/url]<a class="athena-button" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096WKKK2K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=dealpost2022-20&language=en_US" id="12d3e640e2b34f2fb715b30dd3fe3c7d" data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:Amazon Fire 7">Buy Fire 7 at Amazon - $45[/url]<p>While the Fire HD 10 (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-new-fire-hd-10-tablets-plus-kids-pro-130029307.html) is the older of the two devices, the deal on that tablet is still the highlight here. For the money, you get a 10.1-inch display with full HD resolution, an eight-core 2GHz processor, 3GB of RAM, 12 hours of rated battery life and up to 64GB of internal storage (expandable to as much a 1TB via a microSD card). </p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>As for the Fire 7, we need to caution you that it earned a lackluster score from us when we reviewed it (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-fire-7-review-150054618.html) last summer. Although we acknowledged the then-$60 tablet got some basics right, including battery life, USB-C charging and, well, the affordable price, we dinged it for its unimpressive display quality and sluggish performance. If we were to review it fresh today with a $45 list price, perhaps we'd be a little more generous in our rating.</p><p>It's unclear when Amazon will refresh either its 10- or 7-inch tablet line. At its hardware launch last month, Amazon only mentioned a new $100 8-inch model (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-fire-hd-8-plus-kids-tablet-2022-price-release-date-130025038.html), <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:amazon;pdid:which promises;" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TMJ1R3X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=productpost2022-20&language=en_US&uuid=tWiFEYEkXEgrbONy0904">which promises[/url] 30 percent faster performance, slightly improved 13-hour battery life and a new Tap to Alexa feature that allows you to summon the voice assistant without speaking. </p><p>Follow @EngadgetDeals (https://twitter.com/EngadgetDeals) on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter (https://subscription.yahoo.net/Newsletter/Preference/sub?b=engadgetdeals&src) for the latest tech deals and buying advice.</p> Source: Amazon's latest sale knocks up to 50 percent off Fire tablets (https://www.engadget.com/amazon-fire-tablet-sale-161517699.html?src=rss) |
