Amazon Fire HD 10 and Xiaomi Pad 5
Amazon Fire HD 10
BEST FOR BINGE WATCHING
What’s the story?
This is a big-screened Android tablet designed to showcase Amazon’s growing suite of content, from Audible to Kindle and Prime Video. It’s also an Alexa-enabled tab that turns into an Echo Show, and supports Disney+, Netflix and others.
It misses out on the Google Play Store, so you get your apps using the Amazon Appstore. But while it won’t run as many apps as rivals running full-fat Android, it packs ace specs for the price.
Wanted dead or olive
Don’t like Apple’s metallic shades? This Amazon tablet comes in a choice of four colours: black, blue, pink or olive green.
Givin’ on a prayer
Simply switch on Show mode to turn the Fire HD 10 into a big-screened Alexa assistant, listening out for commands.
Is it any good?
A chunky tab with a big, immersive screen and stereo speakers for a bargain price – that’s the Fire HD 10 in a nutshell. It looks less fancy than the other tabs on test, but the rounded corners are nicely comfortable to hold and it isn’t too heavy.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess - It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year
It's really not what you expect from a major publisher these days, but Capcom's curious blend of action, real-time strategy and tower defence is one of the most original games you'll play all year.From its colourful costumes to a pastoral message of healing nature, Kunitsu-Gami is proudly Japanese in its inspirations. Your masked warrior is on a mission to help a divine maiden purge a mountain of an evil 'defilement'... but this is no Link/Zelda dynamic: you'll also rely on villagers to help you beat back monsters.
Tesla Model 3 (2024)

Cygni: All Guns Blazing
Is this just a nostalgia trip, or does it genuinely offer something new to make it as memorable as the top-down shooters of yesteryear?
Scott Contessa Voltage eRide 910
This is an electric trail bike designed with women in mind – not that you’d know that just by looking at it, because thankfully Scott hasn’t adopted the insulting ‘shrink it and pink it’ approach that many brands take.
Squareless whisper
This budget smartwatch sequel from the Nothing sub-brand no longer looks like an Apple Watch wannabe... but can it improve on the original?
