The iPad runs iPadOS, the big-screen sibling of iOS: they’ve been split into two different operating systems as the lines between iPads and laptops have grown ever more blurry. Apple’s version feels like being in a lush department store Amazon’s is more like your local store. Fire OS 7 is pleasant enough, although it’s a bit dark for our tastes.Īmazon’s App Store contains all the big hitters you’d expect but it has a smaller selection than Apple and doesn’t offer the editorial selection and curation of the iPadOS App Store.

Fire OS 7 is based on Android 9 Pie and is largely a reskin of the Google OS with Amazon’s own App Store where you’d normally see the Google Play Store. The Fire HD 10 runs Amazon’s own version of Android. iPad 10.2 (2020) vs Amazon Fire HD 10: Operating system and apps The supplied power adapter is 20W, and it charges quickly. Apple promises the usual 10 hours of web browsing or video between charges that it does for all iPads. Bluetooth 4.2 is on-board too.Īpple has moved its other iPads to USB-C, but this one retains the Lightning connector for connectivity and charging. The Wi-Fi in the iPad is also dual-band up to 802.11ac, but the Apple device also has HT80 with MIMO for faster connections (which mean faster downloads and streaming if you have a recent router) and you can specify your iPad with 4G LTE as well as Wi-Fi, if you want. The Fire’s wireless is dual-band 802.11 up to and including 802.11ac. Amazon says you should expect 12 hours of reading or web browsing between charges.

The Fire HD 10 has a USB-C charging port capable of a full charge in just three hours if you connect it to a 15W power adapter, although the adapter in the box is 9W and takes four hours. iPad 10.2 (2020) vs Amazon Fire HD 10: Connectivity and battery life The cameras are fine for video calls but underpowered for photography, where the image quality is pretty weak. The cameras are a bit of an afterthought in the Fire HD: there’s 2MP front and rear cameras capable of recording video at 720p. The front-facing camera is 1.2MP with Retina Flash for better-lit selfies, and while it’s pretty mediocre overall, it's perfectly fine for the Zoom calls and the like. It’s several years behind the cameras in recent iPhones such as the iPhone 12 and the current, more expensive iPads, but it’s perfectly acceptable for shooting the odd home video or using augmented reality in apps.

The main camera in the iPad is 8MP with up 1080p HD video recording, image stabilisation and body and face detection. But an Apple camera that isn’t quite top of the range is not necessarily a bad camera. It’s clear that for Apple and Amazon the cameras were obvious corners to cut in order to keep the price down. iPad 10.2 (2020) vs Amazon Fire HD 10: Cameras
It isn’t as fast or as smooth as the iPad but it’s just fine for everyday apps and typical tablet gaming. Its processor is a 2.0GHz Mediatek octa-core processor with 2GB RAM and an ARM Mali-G72 GPU. The Fire HD 10 comes with 32GB or 64GB of storage and can be extended up to 512GB with a memory card. It’s teamed with either 32GB or 128GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. It’s not as fast as the A14 in the iPad Air (2020), but it’s still extremely responsive and more than capable of powering pro-level apps – its performance in benchmarks is better than most budget laptops.

This iPad has Apple’s A12 Bionic chip, a six-core processor with quad-core GPU that you'll also find in the iPhone XR, and a more powerful version of which is in the iPad Pro (2020).
iPad 10.2 (2020) vs Amazon Fire HD 10: Performance and storage Sound is clear, if a little lightweight and can sound harsh at higher volumes. The Fire boasts Dolby Atmos sound, but we think that’s a gimmick in a tablet with tiny speakers. It's more widescreen than the iPad's display, which means that video fills its size better than the iPad, though browsing in apps and online is slightly easier with the iPad's taller screen. It’s not quite as sharp as Apple’s higher-resolution screen, but it’s not bad for the money, with decent colour reproduction and contrast that makes it fine for box set binging on Prime Video. The display in the Fire HD 10 is 10.1 inches with a resolution of 1920x1200 pixels.
