What Operating System Does Fire HD 10 Use?
Android Pie was released in 2018. Since then, there have been three new Android operating systems released, including:
- Android 10 (Queen Cake)Android 11 (Red Velvet Cake)Android 12 (Snow Cone)
This version was initially released in 2018, which means it may feel dated to avid Android users. Unlike the newest versions, Android 9 does not include a gesture-based interface. Instead, there are three buttons at the bottom of the screen for easy navigation: home, back, and recent apps.
This operating system is not compatible with automatic switches between light and dark mode, nor does it allow screen recording. While the operating system works very well overall, it is overall much less customizable than more recent versions, and it may take some getting used to if you keep your Android phone up-to-date with the newest operating system.
