If you wanted to purchase a tablet recently, you will find out that most devices come in 32-bit as well as 64-bit. Phones and tablets just like laptops and desktops come in different processing power, and this is solely determined by the hardware (CPU) used on the device which can’t be changed. If you’re looking at tablets in 32-bits, there aren’t a lot that can be found in the market, and we would discuss why.

If you want to purchase the Fire HD 10, checking if it’s a 64-bit device or a 32-bit device is important for the tablet’s speed and performance. What you have to do is to first know which model of Fire HD 10 you want to get.

 Fire HD tablets have come a long way from 2015 models, 2017 models, 2019 models as well as the 2021 model. I might be guessing that you may be confused already with the words 32-bit, and 64-bit being thrown around. So let’s first differentiate the two to get a deeper understanding of what it means for your tablet/phone to be any of these bits.

What’s The Difference Between 32-Bit and 64-Bit?

So what do these numbers mean? Most computers and tablets made earlier use the 32-bit system that can process 2^32 (4,294,967,296) bytes of RAM while its counterpart can carry out about 2^64 (18,446,744,073,709,551,616) bytes of RAM. 

This means that the 64-bit system can process a billion times more data than the 32-bit system. So enough of the boring mathematical equations, let’s know how choosing any of this can affect you as a user. 

How Can This Affect You as a User?

While the 64-bit processor is highly overpowered when compared with the 32-bit system, it does not mean that you need a tablet that runs on 64-bit. Whether you should install any of the bit applications depends on the type of fire HD you buy.

How to Check Your Fire HD Tablet’s Bit

If you are not sure of the generation of Fire HD 10 you purchased, you can simply check if it’s 32 or 64-bit by doing this:

  • Open your device settings by going to your tablet’s home screen.Find either “about phone” or “system” and select.Then go to the Kernel version. You would be able to see if it’s 32 or 64-bit.If it doesn’t show up, you can download a third-party app called Antutu benchmark or CPU-Z from a third-party website or Google play.

Conclusion

Getting to know if your Fire HD 10 runs on 64-bit, and how it can affect us is important so you can get the right type for yourself. If you have already gotten one, and you find out it has a 32-bit processor, unfortunately, you can’t convert it into 64-bit. 

The type of bit depends on the type of processor used in your fire tablet, and it can’t be changed. You just have to get one that is 64-bit. Well, at least next time you should pay close attention to the specifications of the device you want to purchase.
