Best Android Tablets for Battery Life
The Amazon Fire HD10 Plus runs 15.9 hours on a charge in CR’s video playback test, and 16.5 hours in our web-browsing test. Your mileage will vary depending on how you actually use the tablet, but basically this device will easily let you catch up on the news and get through your inbox at the local coffee shop, and still have time to watch a few episodes of your favorite show at home without having to reach for the charger. This device also delivers on value. You can find it for well under $200, which isn’t a lot for a 10-inch tablet with decent performance and a fairly good display.
