starting at only $99 Amazon smallest tablet ever is also its cheapest but isn't any good I'm Xiomara Blanca Christina here taking a look at the Amazon Fire HD 6 the petite 6 inch tablet sports a new design it looks similar to the HDX series but what plasticky and less angular the top edge houses the headphone jack microphone pin pool micro USB port and power button with the volume rocker on the left corner and a solitaire mono speaker on the bottom edge it's incredibly comfortable to hold in one hand yet at point 6 3 pounds it's a bit heavy the Fire HD 6 houses a 1.5 gigahertz quad-core processor 1 gigabyte of RAM and 8 gigabytes or 16 gigabytes of internal storage it ships with the new Amazon sangria operating system and it's very similar to last year's mojito for casual use like checking email reading and browsing the web the tablet performed smoothly sometimes it was slow to respond when loading new magazines or books and it was occasionally buggy when trying to execute menial tasks but the kinks were rare our review unit came with only a gigabytes of internal storage but Amazon also offers a 16 gigabyte model meant to be used with cloud content the eight gigabytes were spent quickly the pliers don't offer expandable memory options so juggling content between the cloud and your device is necessary HD video looks sharp on the 1280 by 800 pixel resolution IPS LCD screen text is also clear and easy to read unfortunately there's no ambient light sensor so you must manually adjust the screens brightness the Fire HD 6 offers up a pair of underwhelming cameras the front-facing VGA shooter is fuzzy yet meets the basic requirements for video conferencing and the 2 megapixel rear camera isn't much better though there's a manual focus option photos don't come out very sharp and colors are washed out with a bluish tint to them the fire HD 6 starts at $99 for the 8 gigabyte version or 119 for the see and gigabyte model why would you choose the six century over the Fire HD 7 aside from saving $40 for an 8 gigabyte model or $30 on the 16 gigabyte model the HD six is extremely compact and easy to use in one hand so if you're looking for something to primarily use on the go it's a small price to pay for a small device for a more in-depth look check out my full review on SEANET once again I'm Xiomara Blanco and this even a first look at the Amazon fire HD 6 tablet
