Relatively new tablet Amazon Fire has attracted the attention of gadget lovers, above all, at a low price - only $ 50 is asked for this device. Yes, the configuration of the 7-inch tablet does not beat records, but you cannot call it terrible either, despite the fact that the cost of the tablet is quite low. But the problem is that this tablet is closed on the Amazon ecosystem, with its own catalog of applications and media.
Yes, you can install applications to view external content, but you can really use the capabilities of the device by installing the Google Play Store. There are a lot more applications here, while putting Google Play on Amazon Fire is not so difficult. And even rutat tablet is not necessary. Forum user Xda-developers has posted instructions on how to do this by installing Google Services and the Google Play Store. In general, all that is required for this is to connect the tablet to the desktop PC, with the launch of the bat-file, which will allow you to connect the tablet via adb by downloading all the necessary applications and files. After that, you need to wait about 10 minutes, during which Google services will be updated. ')

At the same time, not only the Play Store will appear on the tablet, but also other Google applications that were not there, including Gmail, Chrome, and the official YouTube app.
Of course, all this is done at your own peril and risk, there may be some problems. For example, the Google Inbox application for some reason does not work.
Nevertheless, this is a significant increase in the functionality and capabilities of the tablet from Amazon, thanks to which for $ 50 you get a full-fledged device, on which you can even play Angry Birds now (yes, that's how progressive it is :)).
It is worth recalling that the configuration of this tablet includes a quad-core processor with a core frequency of 1.3 GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, a slot for microSD memory cards, WiFi, Bluetooth, front and rear cameras, plus customized Android 5.1, called here Fire OS 5.
