Amazon Fire HD 6


The Fire HD 6, a 6-inch tablet priced at $99, is the company's cheapest and smallest slate yet, and it's designed to take on all those unreliable no-name devices that shoppers seem to hate so much. Really, it offers some great value for the price.

Design:

There are lots of reasons you might buy the HD 6: screen quality, interesting software, long battery life. But an attractive design isn't one of them. The HD 6 is a chunky and surprisingly heavy little thing, measuring 0.4 inch thick and coming in at 10.1 ounces, or 0.63 pound.

Up front, the 1,280 x 800 screen is coated in Gorilla Glass, making it less vulnerable to scratches. Amazon also ran its new tablet through a gamut of torture tests, ranging from sunscreen to salt water to a machine that simulates items being tossed around inside a bag.

Screen:
Amazon sets itself apart with a 6-inch, 1,280 x 800 panel, which equates to a respectable pixel density of 252 ppi. That's actually the same resolution as Amazon's 7-inch tablet, except there, the pixel density drops to 216 ppi

Audio:

On the audio front, the HD 6 makes use of Dolby's Digital Plus technology, which Amazon uses in most of its other tablets (the high-end Fire HDX 8.9 uses Dolby Atmos instead). That means the 6- and 7-inch Fires should offer similar sound, except the 7-inch version has stereo speakers, while the 6-incher makes do with just one

Software:

With the Fire HD 6, Amazon also introduced a new version of Fire OS, code named "Sangria" (Amazon names its operating systems after alcoholic beverages the way Apple used to name its OSes after large jungle cats).

Conclusion, it offers some great value for the price.
