Amazon Fire HD 8: amzn.to/39BuiTo
Install the Playstore on Fire HD Tablet: www.androidpolice.com/2020/12...
I recently review the Amazon Fire HD 10 that came out in May of 2020. After posting that review, I received a few requests asking me to review the Amazon Fire HD 8 and compare it to the HD 10.
So, I picked one up and tested it out for a few weeks. After my testing was over, I was left conflicted as to which one I liked more.
The Fire HD 10 has a bigger and better screen while the Fire HD 8 is more portable and comfortable to hold for extended periods of time.
Overall, I really enjoy my time with the Fire HD 8 10th Gen and would still recommend it to anyone looking for a good budget tablet in 2021.

I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one kzread.infoUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
Great video review, I just purchased this same exact Fire HD 8 a few day's ago on (Tuesday July 12th 2022) during the Amazon Prime Day Sale. I got the 32GB in the Twilight Blue color for only $44.99 during the Sale. I also have the latest Fire HD 10 and the previous Fire HD 7. I personally love the Amazon Fire HD tablets and for only $44.99 for the latest model HD 8 was a must have for me.
As a 3 year old Amazon 8 inch 10th gen user I would say it's good even in its 3 year old age. I have gotten this for free from a gift haul ( a random surprise gift) and I've been very gentle and sometimes rough but it never disappointed me. Yes it sucks on camera but the performance was really decent-good. I don't think nobody heard this but these tablets can last for years before the battery goes bad one day. I've done tests after 35 months and I barely notice battery drains. For comparison on the first day it lasted 13 HOURS and sometimes 8 with gaming and social media compared to now it's 12 HOURS and 7 hours. Amazon is a W get one yourself
Every day I updated the KZread feed to watch your new videos ❤️❤️ ❤️😍😍😍😍
Just ordered one for $54. Also got the echo dot with some smart bulbs. Very excited 😊 🤗
Just picked one up for $50 refurbished after bricking my 2017 model. This looks like a great replacement!
Thanks for the review. Really helped me.
Awesome review. I just picked one up from a box store for $45 to replace my xoom. @@ I wish I had gotten the Fire HD 10, but it was kind of a spur of the moment purchase since the sale was ending that day. So far I'm loving it. My plans are for just using it to read books and watch videos, so nothing super intensive. The next prime day or sale I'm def. going to grab a 10 though. :)

Interesting and informative video. Thanks for sharing this helpful video. I enjoyed it very much.
Thank you. I bought it after watching this.
I do alot of hospital duty and traveling so this works as my travel tablet, plus it's small enough to fit in my bag without taking up space.
Very nice review! I am interested in the HD 8 plus, which has 3gb RAM - up from 2gb on the regular HD 8.
great video!! we love this!!!!

I see it is currently on sale for 60 bucks at some stores this week. Do you think it's better to wait for black friday and see if it might be lower or even if the 10 would be around 60 dollars at that time. Or should I jump on this 60 dollar deal now? It's going to be a xmas gift for a family member who doesn't own a tablet. This person does use amazon a lot and has mostly apple products but as a starter tablet I thought the amazon ones (being more affordable than apple) would be a good choice..
Honestly, for the retail price I was between this and the Samsung A7 Lite. I just wanted another “smaller” tab to read manga, comics and books in it because my iPad Pro is too bulky. Decided to go with this one. Gonna be delivered tomorrow :v

Tachiyomi works beautifully on the Amazon Fire 8, I highly recommend it. Just change the scroll-style to "Webtoon" and enjoy. Fun fact, I used to have the weakest 7-inch Lenovo budget tablet, and even though it looked gorgeous (aluminum brushed frame) it was simply too slow and choppy to use Tachiyomi (or most other apps for that matter.)

Fire hd 10 is the only tab worth considering if you want a good display 😉
