Don’t pass up this amazing price! You can get the Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet with 32GB of storage for just $64.99 on Amazon for a short time only. That’s 35% off the regular price. We think this deal is too good to pass up if you want to get a new computer or improve the one you already have. The Fire HD 8 Tablet is great for streaming, browsing, reading, and more because it has a bright screen, fast performance, and lots of apps and entertainment choices. The Amazon Fire HD 8 is almost exactly the same as it was in 2016. The buttons and ports have changed a little, but the device is still exactly the same size in every way. A drop seems like it would not hurt the Fire HD 8, and Amazon backs that up. The company says that the Fire HD 8 is twice as sturdy as the Apple iPad mini in drop tests.
That makes sense since it feels like a toy. The screen on the Amazon Fire HD 8 looks cheap, but it works fine for watching TV shows and movies. Only 1280 x 800 pixels, the LCD panel doesn’t have a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution. Instead, it’s more like a 720p HD screen. We don’t really mind the lower quality, though. It looks like the screen is a little washed out and blurry. It doesn’t have enough contrast or deep colour. It doesn’t get very bright, so on a nice day you shouldn’t watch TV outside on this screen.

Where to Get Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet?
The specs sheet says that the model is the new MediaTek chip and the name is Amazon Fire HD 8 (2022). Not to get too technical, but the new chip has six cores instead of four in the old one. Amazon says this makes the speed 30% better. But it doesn’t matter what the numbers are. This tablet takes too long to work. It moves very slowly. There’s a wait when you tap on the screen. There’s a wait when you open apps. Everything on the tablet moves slowly, and it doesn’t seem to do anything.
The good news is that playing videos works well, which is the main thing we want this tablet to have. Once we started watching a show, it never stopped, even if it was downloaded or streamed over Wi-Fi. Your favorite streaming service looks the same on Amazon as it does on your big screen TV. Amazon was right when they said the Fire HD 8’s battery would last. It had a battery life of more than 13 hours when we watched movies saved on the memory card. This tablet would be great for watching films or TV shows on long planes or trips by car.
