appearance
When most people see Amazon Fire HD 6, they have such doubts at first sight: is this a phablet? In fact, it is easy to understand that the HD 6 screen is only 6 inches, which is not much larger than the mobile phones on the market.
The front of HD 6 is a 6-inch screen, which is far from an ultra narrow frame. On the screen is a 30w pixel camera.
There are only two volume keys on the left.
Amazon's logo is printed on the back, a 200w pixel camera is on the upper right corner, and an external grid is on the lower end.
The right side is very clean.
From left to right on the top are the power button, Micro USB interface, microphone and standard 3.5mm headphone interface
The bottom is as clean as ever.
Amazon Fire HD 6 comes in five colors: white, black, red, yellow, and blue.
HD 6 is made of plastic. Although there are no highlights, the interface details are very good, and the overall feel is very smooth. The official also equipped with leather holster.
Getting started
keyboard
Amazon's default keyboard is Android native, and the original voice input is a good choice.
application program
Amazon Fire HD 6 does not have built-in Google services and applications, and cannot access the Google Store. The only compensation is that Amazon has its own Android app store, which has more than 200000 applications and games.
camera
As a low-end tablet, HD 6's shooting ability is not outstanding. It can be seen from the sample that the overall picture is blue, but the detail processing is OK. On the whole, it can meet the daily use.
Endurance
The price of $99 does not affect the endurance of the HD 6. The WiFi connection that can last for eight and a half hours is already higher than the average level of tablets.
system
Running the latest Fire OS 4 Sangria system, there are some new adjustments compared with the previous generation system. Shortcuts such as games, applications, books, music, videos, journals, documents, and browsers are added at the top of the main screen to make the operation easier.
Child mode
Fire OS 4 Sangria allows you to create separate accounts. Each account has its own unique permissions. By default, children's accounts do not access browser, email, social applications, cameras and other programs.
performance
Amazon Fire HD 6 uses MediaTek's 4-core processors (two 1.5GHz and two 1.2GHz CPUs) plus 1GB of RAM, and it runs smoothly.
In the overall performance test of Geekbench 3, Amazon Fire HD 6 scored 1474, lower than Asustek MeMO Pad 7 (2431)
However, Amazon Fire HD 6 scored 10288 in the graphics test.
