<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/tesco-scraps-bargain-hudl-tablet-range.html">Tesco last month announced it had "no plans" to continue its hugely popular budget tablet</a> – the Hudl.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The supermarket giant's £65 eight-inch Android tablet was once the budget device to beat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But now there is a new kid on the block from eReader veteran, <strong>Amazon</strong>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/amazon-fire-tv-review-streaming-movies.html">Hot off the success of the 4K compatible Fire TV,</a> the Redmond firm is throwing its hat into the bargain tablet ring with a stellar new cut-price device.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having had the £49 Amazon Fire in our hands for the last few weeks, <em>NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com</em> has been hugely impressed with this budget tablet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Granted, the Amazon Fire's plastic case isn't going to win any design awards for style.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But there plenty of features to get excited about in his budget gadget – including its incredibly tasty screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Amazon Fire has a sharp seven-inch IPS display.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's colourful, bright – and no other budget tablet comes close to matching it.</div>

Whilst this screen isn’t in the same league as the premium market, it offers a crisp, clear and colourful picture quality that's very easy on the eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Squeezed inside the Amazon Fire is a fast 1.3GHz quad-core processor which brings a slick experience to users.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The tablet breezes through day-to-day tasks with web browsing and casual games running free of any stutters or delays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Battery life is very reasonable and whilst it does not beat market leaders like the iPad Air 2 or Samsung Galaxy Tab S2, it should be enough to keep you entertained through the most tedious plane journeys.</div>

Unfortunately not everything about the new Amazon Fire is as top-class as its stellar display and battery life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you switch on the device you will have to put up with Amazon’s own Android-based operating system, FireOS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's clean and easy to use, but honestly, is not anywhere near as attractive as alternative mobile operating systems from Google and Apple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And whilst the Amazon Fire has a jaw-droppingly low £49 price tag, tablet owners will have to put up with a slew of adverts from the online retailer filling up your lockscreen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That means every time you hit the power button, your screensaver will be replaced by a bumper advert for the latest app, game or Amazon online service.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Granted, these advertisements are a small price to pay for such a well-built budget tablet – or you can pay an extra £10 at checkout to get rid of the sponsored screensavers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But if you aren't a fan of Amazon, its own FireOS system is likely to annoy you, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The home screen alone contains over 10 Amazon apps including Audiobooks, Shopping, Games and Offers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Swiping left or right on these will whisk you to more of Amazon's online shopping opportunities in the blink of an eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately the Amazon Fire is also a little on the heavy side and its thick black bezel can make the screen feel small and cramped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally the front and rear cameras won’t be snapping award-winning shots, with the results often appearing dull and blurred.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are looking for a bargain tablet and are a fan of Amazon services, this nifty tablet is a no-brainer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seven-inch display is excellent, the tablet has a clean, easy-to-use OS (even if it is a little Amazon-heavy) and has solid battery life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But before you get too excited – you need to be warned, the Amazon Fire is not flawless and if you’re not an Amazon addict you might want to look elsewhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The constant bombardment of adverts on the £49 model can quickly drive you potty and the Fire operating system isn’t in the same league as what Apple and Google currently offer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But for £49 – you won't find better than the Amazon Fire.</div>
