**A Tablet Test: The Amazon Fire HD 10 2019**

As I began testing the Amazon Fire HD 10 2019, I couldn't help but notice its stutters and slowdowns. While some games performed relatively well on this device, others struggled to keep up with the demands of the hardware. One of the games that caught my attention was King of Fighters All-Star, which seemed smooth at first glance, but upon closer inspection, I noticed some noticeable stutters. I had the rendering resolution set to its lowest and graphic settings set to low, yet still experienced slowdowns and stutters with this game.

In contrast, PubG performed admirably on this device. The game was well-optimized for lower-end hardware, and I was able to run it at a decent frame rate even at the lowest settings. While I wouldn't recommend buying this tablet specifically for gaming purposes, you could get by playing PubG casually on this device.

Call of Duty Mobile also ran smoothly on this tablet, with a low frame rate but playable performance even at the lowest settings. The game was well-optimized for lower-end hardware, making it a great option for those looking to play their favorite titles on a budget-friendly device.

However, one area where this tablet fell short was in emulation. I attempted to test various emulators and games, including NES, SNES, PC Engine, NeoGeo, Final Burn Alpha, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Dreamcast, and even God of War: Ghost of Sparta. While some emulators worked relatively well, others were plagued by issues such as slowdowns, frame skips, and graphical glitches.

The Dolphin emulator, which is often considered one of the best emulators for the GameCube, had some serious performance issues on this tablet. Despite having a lot of graphical hacks enabled, I couldn't even run games at full speed, let alone maintain a stable 60 FPS threshold. Even with Vulcan and OpenGL emulators, results were underwhelming.

**Native Android Gaming**

While this tablet is not ideal for gaming, it does have some redeeming qualities when used for everyday tasks such as browsing the web, checking email, and watching videos. The device's performance in these areas was more than sufficient, making it a decent option for those looking for an affordable tablet for basic use.

**Emulation Performance**

Unfortunately, emulation on this tablet is not where it shines. I tested various emulators and games, but found that most struggled to run at full speed or even maintained a stable frame rate. The Dreamcast emulator, in particular, was a disappointment, with issues that made it difficult to enjoy classic Sega games.

The PSP emulator, however, fared slightly better, managing to run some titles like Soulcalibur and Broken Destiny at a reasonable pace. However, even this was somewhat hampered by the tablet's limited hardware capabilities.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, while the Amazon Fire HD 10 2019 has its strengths in everyday use cases, it falls short when it comes to raw performance, especially when it comes to gaming and emulation. While some games can run on this device, others are plagued by issues that make them unplayable. If you're looking for a budget-friendly tablet for basic use, such as browsing the web or watching videos, this might be a decent option. However, if you're into gaming or want to run classic console titles, you may want to consider other options.

For those interested in purchasing one of these tablets or learning more about its capabilities, I've included some links in the description box below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey what's going on guys the CTA praten back here again today we're gonna be taking a look at Walmart's all new on surf tablet pro this is the 10.1 inch version and they also make an 8 inch version this one retails for $129 and the 8 inch version is 99 we have a 10.1 inch screen the 2 gigahertz octa-core CPU 3 gigs of RAM 32 gigabytes of internal storage and Android 10 just judging by the specs here and the pro moniker that should be much more powerful than the ones they released in 2019 now if you remember correctly they released the $69 10 inch tablet and I believe it was a $49 8 inch tablet in 2019 under the same brand on but these are the pro versions new for 2020 and I'm really interested to see how these perform now inside of the box you're gonna receive a few coupons like $10 off your grocery purchase you also get three months of Vudu free but I'm interested in the tablet itself it's definitely got some heft to it and to my surprise it actually has a metal back so hopefully this helps with cooling that 2 gigahertz CPU on the front here it's got all your instructions you need we also get our user manual USB type-c cable and a 1 amp 5 volt charger now this is not going to do any quick charging with this but you could move up to a 2 amp charger and get a little better out of it so on the bottom here it looks like they have their proprietary keyboard dock connector I'm not sure if they're selling this yet I have not seen it and I'm not sure if the older keyboard dock works with this on one side of the tablet we have a 3.5 millimeter audio jack for your headphones a USB type-c charger port micro SD card slot compartment our power button and our volume rocker now that's pretty much it for buttons on the unit but up top we do have dual stereo speakers and I have tested these out they actually sound pretty good for a cheap tablet aspect schoo it's looking a lot better than the 2019 non pro versions for the cpu we have the mediatek and four cores at two gigahertz for the GPU we have the power VR rogue GE 8320 it does OpenGL and Vulcan so it is built into this version of Android 10 that comes pre-loaded on the tablet and we also get three gigs of RAM now that definitely doesn't seem like much but with these cheaper tablets they're usually shipping with two gigs so that extra gig will help out in the long run the display is a 10.1 inch 1920 by 1200 LCD now nowhere in the manual or on the box does this say it's an IPS display but viewing angles really aren't that bad they're not as good as let's say the new Amazon fire 10 tablet but overall I think it's a pretty decent screen for a hundred and thirty dollar tablet 32 gigabytes of internal storage plus a microSD card slot good up to 128 gigabytes now that's all that I've tested in it it might go higher but 128 will be perfect for something like this 802 11 AC Wi-Fi so you can pick up that 5 gigahertz Network and I do want to check out GeForce now and X cloud streaming to this because we have Bluetooth 4.2 built-in so I can connect pretty much any Bluetooth controller and the tablet is actually running Android 10 overall it's a pretty clean ROM but I do call this the Walmart launcher because at the very bottom we always have that Walmart icon that'll bring us right to Walmart comm and there's three other apps built in that you can disable but you can't delete Sam's Club grocery and Vudu so one thing I never really talked about are the cameras on these tablets because most of them are garbage and this one is exactly the same we have a five megapixel front shooter and a 5 megapixel rear shooter both of them are really bad the kids would love them playing around with some games that incorporate the camera but overall this isn't something you want to buy to take family photos with so obviously I had to run some benchmarks on both of them on the left-hand side we have the new on tablet on the right hand side the 2019 Amazon fire 10 HD this is Geekbench 4 unfortunately I couldn't get Geekbench 5 Orion 2 to to run on the Amazon Fire HD but as you can see the HD is definitely beating out the on pro tablet by a lot in single core and multi-core performance now this is just strictly dedicated to CPU performance so yes the Amazon Fire HD 10 does have a more powerful CPU but what about the GPU and for that I use 3dmark sling shot extreme unfortunately the Volken part of the test didn't run on the on tablet but Vulcan is supported I've tested it with ppsspp and a few other apps but for OpenGL we scored a 351 on the new on pro tablet and the Fire HD 10 came ahead in OpenGL with 11:58 so we do have a significantly more powerful GPU and CPU in the Amazon Fire HD 10 over the new on pro tablet and just because I'm here I did want to test out some other benchmarks that work on the on tablet here we have Geekbench 5 single core 146 multi 786 so we're on the lower end here with Geekbench 5 and finally antutu total score 90 1617 like I mentioned the Amazon Fire HD 10 wasn't run this right now but I have run in the past and it scored a 128 thousand but the GPU score on the HD 10 was around 30000 so yeah that HD 10 is just much more powerful than this little tablet here one of the big things that people use these tablets for is media consumption whether streaming video from YouTube Netflix Disney Plus Hulu Amazon Prime and this works really well for it 1080p 60fps video is no issue whatsoever I'm gonna go ahead and test out a video here on YouTube 1080p 60fps everything loads up relatively quickly and I really do like the speaker setup on this like I showed you we have those dual stereo speakers up top and it does get pretty loud so YouTube works really well let's go ahead and test out Disney Plus now keep in mind you're not gonna get any 4k content on this this is a cheap tablet with a 1080p screen but 720 and 1080 p video is totally possible and it works very well Disney Plus loads right up you can download this directly from the Google Play Store I also tested Amazon Prime video and Hulu but here we have some Netflix just to give you a look just start a random video here might be a little dark with this one but overall it does work well so if you want to buy something like this for the kids so they can watch their favorite shows on Netflix YouTube through Disney Plus it'll work out just fine so with video playback out of the way it's time to test out some gaming we're gonna test out minecraft asphalt 9 King of Fighters all-star Call of Duty mobile and pub G so first up we have Minecraft Pocket Edition I did install the beta version just so I could see the FPS up at the top here I'm set to 8 chunks fancy graphics is off and we're getting an average of around 30 fps definitely not the best that I've seen out of an Android tablet but it is playable next up we have asphalt 9 and to my surprise it actually performs quite well a lot of these lower end tablets that I test have a bunch of stutters but this one here seems pretty smooth here we have King of Fighters all-star and performance here isn't great I mean it's kind of playable but I do notice some stutters here and there and by the way I do have the rendering resolution set to the lowest and graphic settings set to low but I have noticed a lot of slowdowns and stutters with this game Pub G is really well optimized I've been able to run this on the $50 Amazon fire tablets and here performance really isn't that bad we're at the lowest settings with the lowest frame rate I wouldn't run out and buy one of these specifically to play pub G on but you could get by playing this game casually on a tablet like this and finally for native Android gaming call of duty mobile again very well optimized game it runs on low-end tablets and low-end phones quite well here I'm at the lowest settings lowest frame rate and it is playable now one of the things I was really excited about testing out on this tablet was emulation I'm using an Xbox one controller connected over bluetooth I'm gonna save you some time right now and just let you know that higher in emulation is not great on this device if you want to run older systems using retroarch like nes SNES pc engine NeoGeo final burn alpha Game Boy Game Boy Advance and even Nintendo DS using the drastic emulator it's gonna work fine all of those run at full speed but when we move up to the harder to emulate systems like even dreamcast using redream i've run into issues even with some of the easier to emulate games like Sonic Adventure 2 we just can't maintain that 60 FPS threshold even with an easier to emulate game like this one I do have the settings as low as they can go here and this is definitely not the worst that I've seen but I have seen better out of Cheaper prepaid phones so this is an easier one to emulate let's move up to a harder one like Dead or Alive - and see how it performs I'm still set to as low as I can go here and we're getting an average of 45 FPS out of this one let's take a look at some PSP emulation using ppsspp this is a really easy one to run Soulcalibur broken destiny I'm at 1x resolution with all the hacks on and if I go to 2x it just won't run at full speed so far I haven't had really good luck with these higher and emulators on this tablet but since I'm here I figured I test one of the hardest ones to emulate and that's God of War Ghost of Sparta and like you may have guessed already it's pretty bad no I don't have frames skip on and you could use it here but overall if I buy a tablet for 130 dollars I don't want to have to use frame skip that these emulators and finally because everybody asks even if those other emulators don't run well they want to know if dolphin's gonna run or GameCube games and as you can see here we're running the dolphin emulator with Soulcalibur - it's pretty bad so you will not be able to run GameCube games at full speed and I've got a lot of graphical glitches going on here I've tested Vulcan and OpenGL so after spending some time with this tablet have actually come to the conclusion that this really isn't a bad tablet for everyday use now if you're into any or native Android gaming then I would definitely stay away from it but if you're looking for a tablet to watch videos on check your email check the news and do some web browsing this is gonna work out just fine but as for raw performance this really just isn't gonna get you there the Amazon fire 10 HD 2019 has more power than this but it's running Amazon fire OS which is something I really hate yes you can install Google Play on it but it's still not stock Android and this is running Android 10 right out of the box yes we do have those four apps pre-installed from Walmart and the little Walmart icon in the bottom but I can overlook that but yeah I mean this tablet would work out for kids or grandparents you can play Minecraft on it in roblox plus they got YouTube Disney Plus and Netflix ready to go but that's it for this one I was hoping for some better emulation performance but that's what we get with a hundred and thirty dollar tablet really appreciate you guys watching I will leave some links in the description if you're interested in picking one of these up or just learning a little more about it like I said you can't buy it online yet but you can find one at a store near you if you have any questions let me know in the comments below but like always thanks for watchinghey what's going on guys the CTA praten back here again today
