Among our favorite Prime Day deals is the Amazon Fire HD 10 for $99.99. Traditionally priced at $149.99, it's $50 off and at an all-time price low.
In our Fire HD 10 review, we liked its bright, vivid screen and snappy performance. Although it's not compatible with Google apps, it packs the best screen and performance out of all the Fire tablets we've tested.
The Fire HD 10's 1920 x 1200-pixel panel produces crisp, bright, and vivid images. Its screen can emit up to 405 nits, which is higher than the 335-nit Fire 7 and the 380-nit Fire HD 8.
