  • Abstract:  The best tablet for your child will depend on their age. LeapFrog and VTech make tablets which are well suited to young children from around 3-6. When kids reach around 6 or 7, they no longer want what they see as a 'toddler's tablet' and will start askin...

  • Abstract:  Amazon is the current king of cheap tablets. The 2017 Amazon Fire 7 costs £49.99, and has - for the insanely low price - a decent screen plus Alexa, a microSD slot for adding more storage, and an easy-to-use operating system. It would be easy to say you...

  • it costs just £80, HD screen, microSD card slot, good battery life, feels durable, good speakers, Alexa
  • rubbish cameras, very slow charging, chunky, heavy for the size, no USBC
  • The Amazon Fire HD 8 has always played second fiddle to the cheap-as-chips £50 Fire 7, but this year with the price cut by £10 to just £80 for the starting Fire HD 8, it is actually worth the extra money.You get twice the storage, much longer battery life...

  • Improved speakers, Decent value, Good battery life
  • Reflective screen, Few meaningful upgrades, A little slow in places
  • The Amazon Fire HD 8 (2017) is just a little tweak of the version Amazon released last year.Its shell colors have changed a little, the build has been refined and the speakers have been improved significantly.There's not much meaningful progress in the ca...

  Published: 2017-06-18, Author: David , review by: CNET.co.uk

  • The latest Fire HD 8 delivers faster performance, a bigger battery and more base storage than the previous version for almost half the price. Its 8-inch screen is bright, the speakers are loud and it offers expandable microSD storage and ample parental co
  • Display isn't as sharp as that of the iPad Mini; to truly take advantage of what the tablet has to offer, you need an Amazon Prime membership; slow charging (takes 6 hours to fully cap battery)
  • Despite some small drawbacks, you just won't find a tablet with these features and performance at this price...
