Amazon Fire HD 8/8 Plus (2022) tablet released: faster, from about $701
After two years of having a large number of Fire tablets, Amazon has finally updated its popular 8-inch model, the Fire HD 8. The new model is faster, lighter, and has excellent battery life. The new Amazon Fire HD 8 starts at $99.99 (about $700.93), and the high-end Fire HD 8 Plus starts at $119.99 (about $841.13).
The Fire HD 8 is a budget-conscious device with an 8-inch 1280 x 800 display with a 2.0 GHz hexa-core processor and 2GB of RAM. In terms of storage options, you can purchase either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage. Of course, users can also expand the tablet up to 1TB using a microSD card slot. the device features a 2MP front-facing camera that can shoot up to 720p video. Amazon says the tablet can be used for up to 13 hours on a single charge, but it doesn't say exactly what it's for. The device also supports a USB-C port for charging, but it takes up to five hours to fully charge the device using the included charger.
Amazon also introduced the Fire HD 8 Plus, which has roughly the same specs, except it will get more 3GB of RAM, wireless charging, a 5MP camera and a faster USB charger. Amazon will also offer various bundles for the tablet, such as the Fire HD 8 Kids, which will come with a protective case, software and content perks, and parental controls. In addition, Amazon will also offer a gaming bundle with a Luna controller grip.
The Fire HD 8 comes in three colors: black, denim and rose. the Fire HD 8 Plus is available in gray. Users who own an older Fire tablet device can also take a 20 percent discount off their purchase. These new Fire HD tablets will be available for purchase starting October 19.
