These do the same function as an ipad in the manner that a Skoda does the same function as a Rolls Royce, for basic tasks such as browsing, watching video it should be fine for your needs

It's adverts that come up on the locked screen, as soon as you unlock the screen they disappear x

No need, just install play store and download Kodi (plus all your android apps) from there, takes 5 minutes.
Just did a chat with Amazon and they removed the 'special offers' free of charge :-)

what did you say for them to offer that please? and was this before or after you had bought it?

Amazing! Can confirm that this actually works!
Although, I was recommended to purchase the device without them next time :wink:

It was today after I received it, I chose Kindle from the online chat drop down and I just said I found the 'special offers' spoilt the tablet so they said it would normally be £10 to remove them but on this occasion they would remove them for free and they came off within a few minutes.

Does this play 720p videos? in the specs it says 'sd video playback' but surely it must play 720p.....?

Checked my receipt on Amazon. It says All new fire HD. Also the cases Amazon are recommending state 7th gen.
I purchased one yesterday and it's arriving tomorrow. Will confirm again when it's here.

Any recommendations for a cheapish kids case for these? Was looking at the amazon one but seems crazy to pay the price of the tablet for a case!

Seems an ignorant question, but can I install "Broadlink RM Tasker" on this, so I can use it in conjunction with Alexa/Broadlink to switch on wireless plugs, TV, etc?
TIA! (y)

Mate, you almost compared a tv with a brand new Boeing here. There is a price tag too, and you should check it first.
I have an Octavia and I love it. yes, I like Rolls Royce obvious but I can't afford that. For now.
Maybe in 10-20 years.
Try to be reasonable, some people are actually trying to buy something in here, like me. If you're not happy with it just say the good things if they are, and the bad things.

Student10 takes a further £10 off this making it £19.99 and the 8" £39.99.
schofield8883
11 Jul 17#46
thank you i refused the order when they tried to deliver and ordered two of these, i used student discount for £10 off and it worked out slightly cheaper that the other tablets so even better. :smiley:
erjin999
11 Jul 172#45
Are you certain? The blurb says it's the new generation, it also mentions Alexa and the colours available match the current 7th generation ones.
Either way my comments are for the 7th gen ones never had the previous ones myself.

11 Jul 171#44
To be fair my Warehouse one looked brand new as everything was sealed as if new. However it seemed a no brainer for £4 to swap. By all accounts the changes from the 5th gen and 7th gen are minor. Best review I found was here. Hope it helps.
AzNDeals
11 Jul 171#43
Well I think for the extra £4 you are better off with a brand new unit..

Wait so can you install a custom Rom or not? there's conflicting answers in this thread!
householdhorror to kutekitty
11 Jul 171#39
No, it's not been figured out (yet). You could, with the previous version. But you can still install the play store.
John59
11 Jul 17#37
You can install the Google play store on these tablets. You can even install a new launcher. Just be aware that it is a little buggy in as much as you see the original home screen for a fraction of a second when you press home.
The only difference I really see to the 2015 model is the screen is a little brighter and the tablet is lighter. It's not a great difference really. It has the same SOC / RAM and flash storage. It's a shame you can't root these to install a custom ROM like with the 2015 model prior to 5.3.3.

You don't have to root it at all, just enable unknown sources third party installs in the settings. Download the apk from the website via the browser.

How does this compare with the Fire 7 ( which is more expensive)?
Is this one inferior because it has Alexa?

10 Jul 171#27
19.99 if you're an Amazon student member and use the code STUDENT10

If I bought a case and already have à subscription to kids unlimited can someone please tell me, would this then be the same as the children's version?

With current reductions spend the extra and get the HD version. They handle basic tasks well enough, for the price don't see what all the hate is about.

Apart from the generous replacement warranty that they provide with the kids one, I would think yes.

Temper your expectations. These have a terrible screen and are pretty slow. Great throwaway tablet for a young child but not good for your daily driver.
redzarf to lucifon
10 Jul 17#25
Seconded. Bought one in the Christmas sales for my toddler to watch youtube on - couldn't even handle that :-( At least at this price if you give up on it, you can sell it on ebay for close to the same price.

7th gen looks very different to the one here for £29.99. This one is definitely 5th gen. Other offer was for used ones under £26. This one is new for £29.99.

everydayrolex123 to CosmicAero
10 Jul 17#19
Yup, if you look online you should find a tutorial. I can confirm it works but disclaimer: it's a bit slow at times (as expected). I also only use it for YouTube and Showbox.
erjin999
10 Jul 17#18
These are the newest version. 7th gen.
The ones in the other offer are 5th gen I think.
These can't, to the best of my knowledge, be rooted yet.
I have 3 for the kids. I'm happy enough to have got the Play store on them.
I paid more than this for mine.

10 Jul 17#16
I have two of the previous gen. They work good for watching the occasional flick. But it is quite slow. How much of an improvement is this new version?

is this the same as the other fire which was on offer for £25 used?

Yes, I have one and have managed to install Google Play on it, with a bit of messing about.
The Alexa update is great and works pretty much as my Echo would, but on my tablet. Awesome price, I didn't pay much less than this from the Warehouse. Heated :smiley:

Are these any good?
Been looking for a tablet for a little while and was looking at iPads but for £29.99 if this does the same function.. Seems like a no brainer. Tablet will mostly be used for watching video (either via WiFi or via tether to my phone)
