Have a new fire tablet (All-new Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, HD display, 32 GB), installed the Google Play store via side loading and installed Runescape. It's playable, but there is a bunch of flickering and frame rate drops, even on 'balanced'. have nothing really to compare it to, so I don't know how the mobile clients performance is normally.

The UI is also a bit weird (like you can't minimize the chat window during the tutorial and your inventory constantly re-opens itself). I think they did that so new players didn't miss anything but it means 75% of screen real-estate gets covered.

OSRS works like a champ though, honestly I'll probably just stick with that for now since it runs nicely on Android and Linux.

On a sums in A40, the playability is pretty hopefully for some flickering after certain actions such as teleporting, other than that is pretty good for a small screen.
However on my ipad air on iOS 12.4.7 it's total trash and if can stay logged inset 30 seconds and my little man makes it on screen I am amazed.
I have a fire hd in my hand as we speak so I am tempted to sideload the Google play store, does it open you up to security risks or is it Amazon being snowflakes?
The fire doesn't seem to have any decent apps in its stable compared to Apple and google, but that's no real surprise.
Also do you know the RAM size of fires? I know what I want to do, but can rarely achieve it

My Honest Opinion I’ve had My Fair Share of Android Galaxy Tab III Three Notice After 6 Months Battery Drainz Completely after 2 Hourz of Full Battery Usage Apple on the other Hand Is More Supperior Far as Battery Usage Goez For Example On Full Battery On My Apple 6Th Gen Tablet can Get 4-6 Hourz On MMO or MMORPG My Galaxy Tab Three Maybe 2 Hourz If That, My Honest Opinion Would Buy You Used or New Apple Tablet And Wait it Out If you have the Exstra Cushion Then buy One From Each Device IOS N Android You’ll find out Apple Is way better Tablet far as Vs Android
