Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro vs. Fire HD 10 Kids

Amazon has made some advancements to its existing Fire HD 10 Kids tablet by making the design sleeker and upgrading RAM and storage. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Kids Pro has excellent hardware and looks more premium than the previous generation Fire HD 10 Kids tablet. The UI on the latest model is more open and offers better access to popular apps and tools.

Both the tablets get a two-year worry-free warranty from Amazon, but the Pro variant features better options that preteens would prefer. Both the models have dual speakers with Dolby Atmos for a better experience of content like movies, shows, and games.

While there are not many notable differences between the two tablets, the Fire HD 10 Kids Pro is better suited for children between the age of 7 to 12. If you have a younger kid, you can easily go for the standard Fire HD 10 Kids tablet. For kids older than that, better pick the Kids Pro model as it has more appropriate features. The Fire HD 10 Kids Pro carries a more mature look that will fit the need of your growing child entering into the teen years.
