"Fire HD 10 Plus", Show mode and extension function are convenient for tablets after a long absence

I bought a tablet since Google Nexus 10.

It's been about eight years since I bought the Nexus 10, and it doesn't have a battery, the back of the rubber material is hydrolyzed and sticky, and the operation is too unstable, so I haven't turned on the power for the past year or two. I've been looking for an alternative Android tablet for a long time, but considering the cost performance, it was difficult to choose any of them.

However, considering the recent use of the private internet, I began to think that it does not necessarily have to be a pure Android tablet. You can shop online, search for cooking recipes, see the staggered Aiseki Shokudo, or read comics. I don't play games and I don't draw pictures with a stylus, so I don't have to stick to high specs.

So, I was suddenly interested in the new 11th generation. The model with a storage capacity of 32GB alone costs 18,980 yen, which is less than 20,000 yen. Although it's mainly online and video, it has a lot of RAM, so I chose Fire HD 10 Plus (RAM 4GB) instead of the standard Fire HD 10 (RAM 3GB). Even with the set model with Anker's wireless charging stand, 22,980 yen is a good value.

The standard doesn't support Google Play, so it's possible that the apps you've been using may not be available, but given my recent uses, it's perfectly fine. You can enjoy the internet, videos, and comics on the large 10.1-inch screen to your heart's content in your private time. Recently, it has become difficult to read comic characters on a small 5-6 inch screen of a smartphone, but 10.1 inch is also comfortable. I won't lose to presbyopia! (I'm losing).

If you put it on the wireless charging stand, it will automatically switch to "Show mode" as soon as charging starts, and you can use it like the Echo Show on the smart display. You can play BGM, listen to weather forecasts and news without hassle, and it is also nice to be able to quickly operate smart home devices with the "device dashboard" that can be called from the icon at the bottom left of the screen.

Even now, the call (or drop-in) function that allows voice and video chat between Alexa devices is playing an important role at home. This makes it easy to make extension calls.

The Fire HD 10 Plus is usually in my work room on the first floor, and the Echo Show 5 I've been using for a long time is in the dining kitchen on the second floor. Currently, my wife also works from home in the dining room, so by talking on these two units, "What should I do for lunch today? (Go shopping)" or "Trash out" between the 1st and 2nd floors. Consultations, requests, orders, and pressures such as "? (Get trash out)" are easy. Yes! right now!

Up until now, I could have a conversation by connecting the Alexa app on my smartphone to the Echo Show 5 if I wanted to, but it's very easy to be called immediately while using the stand to leave it halfway.

Advertisements are displayed on the lock screen, recommended content that is not so interesting is displayed on the home screen, and the feeling of imposition of Amazon related services is amazing, but if you customize it, it will look like a normal tablet. can. After that, it will be useful not only at home but also as an entertainment machine for children when moving a car.
