We download RuPaul’s Drag Race UK from BBC iPlayer and the colours are bright, tonally accurate and vibrant, while blacks are inky, dark and detailed. The latest Apple iPad Mini has a 2048 x 1536 display – but, of course, you’ll pay over double the price for it. The large, 10.1in LCD screen has always been a big selling point for the Amazon Fire HD 10 and it is exactly the same here, with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels.

The 720p video hasn’t been levelled up to 1080p (found in Apple's latest iPad Mini), which might be a sticking point for those who like to video call – although at this level, that seems an acceptable compromise.
The front camera has been vastly improved, and using the front or rear snapper in HDR mode no longer means holding the tablet perfectly still to avoid blurry images. Alexa responds well to our requests, though there is a predictable bias towards Amazon’s streaming services. What really sets the Amazon Fire HD 10 apart at this price is Alexa compatibility, which allows you immediate access to Amazon’s voice assistant and grants the ability to control Alexa-enabled devices from your tablet. And if you want Google Maps, Gmail, Google Play, YouTube or Chrome, for example, you're simply out of luck. Amazon Music, Kindle books, Amazon Prime Video and Audible content are all placed centre-stage. That said, as with previous iterations, you’re still dragged into the Amazon ecosystem. It looks altogether cleaner and calmer – and less like a perpetual advert for Amazon products and services. It’s slightly less busy, with text smaller and closer to the edge of the screen.

The HD 10 fires up with greater speed than its predecessor and the OS skin has been tweaked pleasingly. That is a minor gripe at this price-point though. It feels counter-intuitive to alter volume on the horizontal rather than vertical – and the buttons are too far from the natural position of our hands when holding it to make adjustments stress-free.
The power button, charging port, 3.5mm headphone jack and volume buttons are all located on the top edge of this comparatively large 10.1in tablet when held in portrait position, so our usability issues with the volume persist.
