I noticed while reading an ebook that the screen brightness/color isn't completely uniform across the screen. However, the Fire HD has it's own display issue, or at least my unit does. One thing I like better about the Fire HD 6's screen is it doesn't have an annoying blue border that surrounds the screen like on the HDX.

The resolution is higher, making everything appear a little sharper, and colors have more depth, plus it supports 10-point capacitive touch whereas the Fire HD 6's screen supports just 2. The light has more of a bright white tone than the screen on the 7-inch Fire HDX, which has a warmer yellower tone. It has wide viewing angles, colors are vivid, and there's a good range of brightness adjustment, although some may find a dimming app is needed to further dim the screen when reading at night. The resolution is high enough at 252 PPI to give text and fine details a nice sharp and clear appearance. Most tablets range from 7 to 10 inches, whereas the Fire HD 6 is closer in size to a large phone with its 6-inch 1280 x 800 screen. The Fire HD 6 is just 4" wide, which makes it a little over 1" narrower than the 7-inch Fire tablets and about 5/8" narrower than Kindle ebook readers, so that gives it the unique distinction of being the smallest Kindle or Fire tablet yet. One inch doesn't sound like a lot, but when it comes to holding the device in one hand or sticking it in a pocket there's a hug difference.

What makes the Fire HD 6 most unique is the slimmed-down overall size from more common 7-inch tablets. Fire tablets aren't very useful in cases where Wi-Fi access is limited. Devices like these are much better suited for cloud storage and streaming, which requires a constant internet connection. That equates to only 5GB/12.2GB of usable space, and that's not very much when it comes to things like videos and audiobooks. One of the weak points with the HD line is the small amount of onboard storage space.

The USB port is SlimPort enabled, meaning it can connect to a TV or computer with a SlimPort adapter. There's also a power button, volume buttons, and a micro USB port for charging, and the device even comes with a 5w USB charger (E Ink Kindles don't even come with those anymore, just a cable, and they cost $20). The single speaker on the Fire HD 6 is okay too, it's just loud enough to be useful and the sound quality isn't as good as the HDX. Picture quality is okay 2 MP isn't great, and there's no flash of course. The front camera is VGA quality and the rear is 2.0 MP. Battery life is rated at up to 8 hours, and that seems pretty accurate. It has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a speaker, microphone, 3.5mm headphone jack, and front and rear cameras. It's powered by a quad-core 1.5GHz processor with 1GB of RAM. Price: $99 - $134 at Amazon Fire HD 6 Video Review and Walkthroughįor $99 the Fire HD 6 has respectable specs. The Fire HD 6 is a good entry-level tablet and it makes for a good secondary tablet too. Couple that with the low price and it makes it hard to be disappointed with the device, even despite the lack of expandable memory and having to use Amazon's custom interface. The small size gives the Fire HD 6 its own unique set of benefits.

The smaller profile makes it more portable and easier to hold than 7-inch tablets, and even 6-inch ebook readers because of the narrower screen ratio. Most tablets under $100 have low resolution screens and weak batteries, so it's good to see Amazon offering something better.īut what stands out the most with the Fire HD 6 is the unique size. It has a high resolution screen, front and rear cameras, Bluetooth, a zippy quad-core processor, and a respectable 8-hour battery life. The Fire HD 6 is a surprisingly nice tablet for $99.

No memory card slot, minimal storage space internally, relies heavily on WiFi and cloud storage.Overall the screen is pretty good but it could be better (see screen section below).
