Durability: This is one of the main reasons why you should buy one. Although, I think it helps it more than takes away from it, and you'll see why when you read below this. I warn you to keep it in a case or it will have dozens of small scratches in no time.
Build quality: It's plastic, and is kind of creaky when you press it on, but not a big deal. The ads and special offers aren't very welcomed either, but it's a cost saving measure, so I can understand why Amazon does this. You could also tinker with it a bit more and root it if you want. To counteract this, I sideloaded the Google play store. For people into Amazon's services, it's completely fine, but I personally use many Google apps, and those aren't available on Fire tablets because of a different app store.
My 2017 Kindle Fire 7 has better calibrated whites than this. My only problem with this display though is that the whites are leaning more toward the warmer side. It gets reasonable bright, and is all around good. Final verdict: Good value, but for a little more $$$ you can get a better tablet.ĭisplay: The display is really nice for this price point. Performance? Meh, it'll do for most, but not good for power users. OS? Perfectly fine if you don't use many apps or use Amazon's services a lot. After about 1 and a half years of use, here's my verdict on it. I bought this tablet during Christmas 2017.
