  • Affordable, Loud speakers, Decent performance, Good battery life
  • Screen quality isn't great, Amazon Appstore still lacks a lot of apps, Alexa needs trigger word support
  • Yes. The Fire HD 8 is perfectly usable and it's best feature is its price, which starts at $80. There's hardly any competition at that price, and if you're looking for an affordable tablet for media consumption, this is it...

  • The Amazon Fire HD 8 is a simple tablet that offers great value for money. Ideal for watching movies, reading books and listening to music, it offers quick access to anything you've already purchased from Amazon. The tablet also has some great additional...

  • Nice, large screen, Good storage options
  • No stand out improvement, Poor cameras
  • Amazon's Fire HD 8 (2017) seems to be an improvement on the previous versions, but there's no reason to update your current tablet to this. This will be a great buy if you've never owned a tablet though...

  • Unless you're reading this review because you've spotted the HD 8 or HD 10 in a sale, they're not great value at full price. They're fine for casual users and once you've got to grips with the interface, they're pleasant to use and have some useful featur...

  • Abstract:  Along with a new 4K Fire TV and a cheap as chips £50 tablet, Amazon has also introduced two new devices at the upper end of its range that are better geared for those who want a bit more oomph, a better screen and slimmer profile than ever before. The on...

  • Buena construcción, material resistente y la comodidad que conlleva el plástico con respecto al metal (al apoyarlo, etc.), La autonomía da para día y medio con un uso intensivo (juegos y multimedia), El software va con fluidez y es cómodo para usuarios de
  • El plus de resolución frente al Fire 7 se nota y agradece, pero se echa en falta un brillo máximo más alto, El frontal está muy desaprovechado por los marcos, Los pequeños parones en la carga de los juegos o apps pesadas
  • Altavoz que queda tapado casi totalmente si apoyamos el tablet sobre su cara trasera, y que nos obliga a apoyarlo sobre la pantalla si no queremos que se reduzca el volumen. También es mejor no recurrir al máximo volumen (hablamos de unos 97 decibelios) y...

  • Construction sérieuse, L'environnement multimédia complet, Autonomie, Expérience utilisateur
  • Gestion hasardeuse des reflets sur l'écran, Partie photo médiocre, Évolution plus que timide en tout point
  • Pas d'Alexa pour la France, mais au moins un peu plus de finesse et de légèreté pour une nouvelle Fire HD 8 qui ne revoit pas trop sa formule pour le reste. On comptera avant tout sur sa solide autonomie et l'OS — restrictif mais assez complet — tourné ve...

  • L'autonomie, les performances et le stockage en hausse pour un prix inférieur au modèle précédent, l'écran 8 pouces lumineux, les haut-parleurs puissants, le lecteur de cartes mémoire microSD, la fonction de contrôle parental. Les abonnés à Amazon Prime j
  • L'écran pas aussi net que celui de l'iPad mini, le temps de charge (6 heures), la nécessité de posséder un abonnement Prime pour profiter pleinement des capacités de la tablette
  • Malgré quelques menus défauts vous ne trouverez pas de tablette offrant ce niveau de performance et de fonctionnalités à ce tarif...
