Best Value 8" Tablet on the Market! (Nothing else Compares for the Price.)
Best Value 8" HD Tablet on the Market! 1) Excellent Build Quality all-Round, gives the impression you could drop this unit and it would take some abuse. Great for Kids? 2) Improved Performance mine has 2GB RAM, Quad Processor (2022 12th Gen) Android 9.. I also put a 128gb SD card in mine, simple to do I know have my personal media library playing on it, and it is crystal clear, very enjoyable. Performs pretty well on everything. Certainly for everything I have asked it to do. 3) Dolby Atmos Sound all beit two small speakers the Sound quality from Amazon Music and my SD Card through VLC are exemplory, Crystal clear for what it is. 4) Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Functionailty was A1 Quite Brilliant. Once it knows your Boombar links straight to it each time when you want it. again given the Cost this is a superb Small Unit. DOWNSIDE? Not sure i would buy it if i was stuck with Silk Browser and just the Amazon Apps, Goodread, Audible, Amazon Kids etc...The first thing i do is put Firefox before doing any serious Web Browsing. Most secure and Independent Browser available - it is free also. It is really annoying Amazon that you cant uninstal Apps like any other App? that you wont need or use. Every User wants to Configure for their particular Preferences? - dont you Amazon People? STOP Stopping Customers from configuring it. If i was stuck with Silk Browser - A Major Security Risk online in this day and age. i wouldn't buy it. So apart from ending up with a dozen Apps i cant uninstall because i will never use them and they take resources they are parked on the Basement now cluttering the desktop - Annoying very!. Overall, in my opinion Buying this Tablet is a No-Brainer for £65 but you need a level of knowledge to set it up like any other Tablet in the Market! But, I give Total Credit to Amazon, their Hardware is Absolutely Faultess in Quality and Performance, i have found this across the board TV Sticks etc.... In my opinion if Amazon Product Team Opened their eyes and stopped making it just Amazon, (you say you put playstore on? I couldn't see it - but no real problem) then you have no Competition in value terms and it is Brilliant for kids - it cannot be beaten for price. The only other enhancement i would love to see would be a sim option to use outdoors. Really nice screen on my motorbike for the Sat Nav etc this would really open up the practical uses for it? it is definately durable enough to manage it well i am sure. That's it, just my opinion i hope it helps someone. Cheers Andy Watkins.

Great size for a tablet and great price
Very happy with Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet. Bought as a replacement for a Amazon Fire HD 10, got water damaged, but due to its size, weight, clarity it is a great replacement for pure Kindle Readers, very easy to use in this regard. Added benefit is that it connects easily to the internet and supports the purchase of new kindle books through the amazon login. The kindle original option of purchasing books no longer works so this a pretty seamless way to read and purchase kindle books in 2024. Added to this is the ability to watch catch up tv and amazon prime(if you have it) is a slight surprise as the screen display is quite small but the quality is superb so for one person streaming internet content it is ideal.

Simple, easy to sync. Good value for money.
Good quality, not so expensive tablet that does the job for most things you would need a tablet to do. Easily syncs with your other Amazon devices, with no issues. Looks good, sleek with an adequate screen size and decent battery life and accessoriws such as covers for it come in great colours. I would recommend paying a little more for the ad free version, as with the kindle devices, you get ads on the lock screen but they are rarely ever relevant to you and more of a minor annoyance.

Cheap, cheerful and basic
Treated myself to a fire tablet on Black Friday. I just needed a tablet to watch movies on- and for that it’s perfect. Set up was very easy, I downloded Netflix, YouTube and bbc Iplayer with no issues. So some drawbacks- it’s a bit clunky and glitchy. Touchscreen isn’t very..smooth? It seems to lag a bit and I find I need a press a few times or very hard. It has froze on me before and restarted but as I said- it’s cheap and basic, so not expecting much anyway, but it’s a good little tablet nonetheless.

Fantastic value
This is an excellent little tablet for the money i got it at nearly half price 54 pounds on prime day . It is light and versatile, i added a 64 gb card for extra storage. Great tablet for everyday use and to take on holiday , good battery life , with wifi off this lasted 2.5 days reading in the kindle app. Sound quality better than the fire 7 as is the HD screen. It has enough apps for me as mainly use it as a kindle and for tv and music.

Brilliant
This tablet is amazing value (I got it in the Boxing Day sale 50% off) although it is worth paying full price, it does everything you could possibly want from a tablet although it has limited apps on the amazon app store, but it's simple to download google, you can also download Microsoft from amazon for free. It's so easy to setup and use, even for someone with no tech knowledge, battery life seems very good around 12 hrs. It feels sturdy and good quality casing. It's definitely well worth the money for a very decent tablet, so far I can't find any fault with it. I'm totally delighted with this purchase.

Very good after setup.
I wasn't overly impressed initially it's a cheap tablet, screen is acceptable for watching tv/movies and the fire os can seem a bit cluttered and unnecessary for a child. I then discord the parental controls in the settings, absolute game changer, you can disable many things using a pin code and it really helps customise the experience. I have plex on there running like a dream and the kids apps ive installed all work without issue. I use a third party youtube application with parental filtering and ad block, you can install it from the browser, search reddit and you'll find it. You can add the Google playstore, however I haven't needed to. Is it an ipad? No, but it's a lot less money and works well, so we'll I'm intending on buying the 10" version when that comes on sale. One other note, make sure any case or screen protector is for the 12th generation 2022 model.
