The biggest online sale of the year, Prime Day, is not until July 16, but a bunch of sales are already active. Early Prime Day deals include bargains on headphones, Apple AirPods, Fire Stick devices, smart speakers, and Blink cameras. But if you're looking for tablets to stream media and do everyday tasks, Amazon's Fire tablets are also on sale, discounted up to 58% off. Here are my favorite Fire tablet deals you can find right now, all of which are either matching or breaking record-low prices, according to price-checking tools.
The Amazon Fire Max 11 is Amazon's biggest and baddest Fire tablet, currently $139.99 (originally $229.99), the lowest price since its 2023 release. It has an 11-inch screen with 2,000 by 1,200 pixels of resolution. This is the 64 GB version and gets you about eight hours of juice depending on your usage and settings. It got an "excellent" review from PCMag for its modern design, vibrant display, and good processor performance for its price. This is the best value for your money if you're looking for the best option available.
Also reaching a record-low price is the Fire HD 10 Plus, currently at $94.99 (originally $194.99). This tablet came out in 2021 with a "good" review from PCMag for its then-new wireless charging capability, and the same 4 GB of RAM as the Fire Max 11 (an extra GB compared to the Fire HD 10 base model), but it has somewhat unimpressive speakers. The Fire HD 10 Plus drops the storage capacity by half compared to the Fire Max 11 for just $45 less, but if it's what your budget allows, it's still a good value for your money at its current price. The battery is also much better, giving you around 12 hours of performance.
If you're looking for a tablet under $50, the Fire 7 tablet for $49.99 (originally $79.99) is a good pick. This budget tablet came out in 2022 with a "good" review from PCMag for its affordability, improvements in battery and specs over its predecessor, and the ability to expand its storage. If you're looking for a bigger screen to surf the web or stream your favorite shows, the Fire 7 can do the job with about 9.5 hours of power.
