Amazon Fire HD 8 is seriously slow to juice up
none of these models are it
There are only four files to download and install
slow Silk web browser
The glossy screen is hard to see outdoors
There is no Google Play Store here
lack of power
the Play Store onto Fire tablets
it too much as it has no official rugged certification
Lack of cellular connectivity also helps
Android 9 although lacks Google s services and apps
It also does not recycle electronic waste directly
The microSD card slot is in the bottom right corner
Switching between apps can be a bit sluggish
cameras aren t great
slow charging
The slightly washed-out colors don t help
as responsive as an entry-level iPad
it lacks any of Google s services
the Fire HD 8 has Amazon s App Store
The screen is very reflective
the fairly dull screen
Amazon has moved the front-facing camera
The HD 8 Plus is only available in a slate color
be able to wirelessly charge the tablet at the same time
there s a dark side to all that Amazon content
It s not as full featured as Google Photos
There are only a few non-Amazon apps available to download
card game - was prone to frequent crashing
HD 8 was never going to set the standard for screen quality
Amazon s store only contains the much older Geekbench 3 benchmark
Fire HD 8 s design changes are relatively minor
even the email platform is hard to find in the menus
Amazon Appstore continues to be rather limited
The games list is very limited
low cost is evident in a range of areas
as clear as it used to be
scrolling complex pages gets a bit janky
restricts the Fire HD 8 to its own inadequate app store
you can't add widgets or customize the interface

The company's no-frills tablets keep improving. The latest 8-inch models are great entry-level devices that won't break the bank.

Amazon's inexpensive Fire HD 8 tablet continues to be an excellent value for the price, but its poor app store is really starting to feel limiting.

With upgrades, Amazon's 2020 Fire HD 8 costs more but remains a bargain

While it costs $10 more than the previous version, an upgraded processor, USB-C charging and other small enhancements keep the 2020 Fire HD 8 in bargain territory -- but for just a little more money, the Plus version beckons.
