Amazon Fire HD 6 8GB Wi-Fi Black Tablet

Engineered by Amazon

Amazon engineers Fire HD tablets to hold up against everyday life. When tested against iPad mini 4 in tumble tests, Fire HD 6 proved 2x more durable.

Real scenarios, real tablets

The scenarios in our latest commercial were shot in real time using our real tablets. The drop test happens so fast that we had to slow it down using a high speed camera to show the more than 3,300 Newtons of force at the moment of impact.

More than 25 rigorous tests

Our tests are designed to simulate accidents likely to occur during your everyday life, from dropping your device onto a hard surface to sitting on your tablet. Although not indestructible, Fire HD tablets undergo more than 25 durability tests and are designed to withstand forces of 1,000 g’s. In addition to drop tests and tumble tests, our tablets endure a wide range of scrutiny to ensure quality, including impact, torsion, and backpack testing.

Powerful tablet, endless entertainment

Powerful, full-featured Fire HD tablet—with beautiful 7" HD display, 2x faster quad-core processer, dual speakers with Dolby Audio, and unsurpassed durability in its class.

Powerful quad-core processor up to 1.5 GHz
The fast quad-core processor consists of two high-performance 1.5 GHz cores and two lower-power 1.2 GHz cores running simultaneously for optimal load balancing and power efficiency. With over 2x the speed and over 3X the graphics performance of the previous generation Fire HD, the quad-core processor ensures faster app launch times, smooth games and videos, and better overall performance.
