+1 pts“Plus the fire tablets have terrible speakers I bought them for the last few years and it the sound quality just gets awful over time it's not loud enough I guess and it just doesn't work for me which is why I came here trying to find out which tablet has the best speakers for playing videos or audio. Don't get amazon fire 8 or 10.”
