![]() ![]() Amazon even has its own app store – no Google Play in sight. This is very much an Amazon experience, and as such is geared heavily toward buying the company’s wares and using its services. It isn’t the very best for reading on, though, which is ironic when you consider its Kindle heritage.Īmazon Fire HD 6 Kids Edition – Performance and Fire OSįire OS is Amazon’s own operating system, based on Android – although you’d hardly know it. That’s plenty sharp enough, especially for the type of content with which the Kids Edition will be faced, and it’s also bright, with decent viewing angles. It’s a 1280×800-pixel IPS display that offers a 251ppi (pixels per inch) resolution. Amazon Fire HD 6 Kids Edition – ScreenĪgain, there’s not much more to add about the Fire HD 6’s 6-inch screen that we haven’t said already in our original review. Realistically, though, that would probably involve a protruding part that’s easily snapped off, so I can understand why Amazon has chosen to keep things simple. In an ideal world, the case would have a simple kickstand to hold the HD 6 up on a table for video viewing. I’d have liked to have seen a screen protector bundled in, rather than as a £9.99 optional extra.īack on the upside, the Kids Edition case does make the HD 6 a lot easier for tiny hands to grip safely, which should help to stop too many drops from happening in the first place. However, although the case protrudes from the front to help stop damage to the screen, there’s nothing to lessen a direct hit to the display from a table corner or random pointy toy lying on the floor. That big rubber bumper might prevent serious damage from an initial impact, but would the tablet then pop out and possibly take a knock anyway? I tried dropping it on a few different surfaces, but it stayed put. The lips that secure the case over the tablet are negligible, meaning you can pop the case on and off without much trouble. Straight from the box it even has that new-car smell.įitting it involves simply squeezing it over the edges of the Fire HD 6, which is easy enough. The Kids Edition case reminds me of a car dashboard, a little rubbery but still firm, and textured with that grainy, dimply pattern. There’s a rather thick black bezel around the screen, within which is the front-facing camera, while you’ll also find a camera on the back, as well as a mono speaker. On the top is the power button, a Micro USB charging port, a 3.5mm headphone socket and the tiny hole for the microphone. It feels better built than most, though, and its size and weight issues aren’t so relevant once it’s squished into the supplied Kids Edition case. It’s a rather heavy, chunky 6-inch tablet.
