By far the best review out there, counting the channels with bigger production budgets. Targets all the points that count. Great job!

Once I got Google Play to run in this, it’s been a pretty great little device. Battery life is surprisingly still very good when using the android apps. Viewing angles are pretty bad for an IPS screen but I’m never really sharing my viewing experience with anyone so it’s okay for one person at a time lol. Not a bad little device at all for the money. Great review man.

Hey, thank you so much for this review! Love the production quality of the video, and you do a great job breaking everything down. I'm still using the HD 8 from I think 2015 or 2016, and thought it was about time for an upgrade. Got the new one on sale, plus had Amazon promo points, so extra discount, yay!!

Edit: Glad you mentioned the Zoom aspect of the tablet, as I'm actually planning on using this fairly extensively for any Zoom lectures and whatnot that may happen this coming academic year. Don't really care about the video quality, but glad to know the microphone and speakers work well, because that would be a deal breaker for me, haha.

I bought the amazon fire hd 8 because of your review. Yup it fits on what i need in a tablet. Feels sturdy and the screen was not that bad at all. Performance was ok at best. Great eeview byvthe way

[gregorywallace]

Congrats on your new baby girl Titus...she's beautiful man. Great content on the fire tablet as well, considering it for my son.

How do you activate screen sharing on 10th gen Fire HD 8?

[legionte]

I died when you talked about PUBG!

I am definitely starting to love your videos. Very well edited, you hold our attention well, I only wish there were more videos for me to watch.

Do you review things like Xbox/video games? I have noticed that most of the reviews are Amazon devices, is there a reason you like Amazon over other brands like Apple?

Also, do you do any Future Tech information videos, like rumors or leaks?

[samanthasweetzz]

Is it good for streaming and reading and buying from Amazon only ?? I just ordered it I’m new to fire and interested in an Amazon based

[justaline]

Is this good for someone who isn't buying it as a streaming device?

[juzzonmorris]

Great video review. Congratulations on the Blessing of your daughter🙏🏾. My sweetie bought me a HD 8- 64GBtablet. How is that better than the 32GB?

[duesenberger]

Great video! Thx. But why are the automatically created subtitles in Vietnamese?

[nmenclature]

Would you say this All New Fire HD 8 performs better than the 2017 10" Fire HD? I've had the 10" tablet struggle with a fantastic Dreamcast emulator called Redream. I'm hoping the smaller, newer tablet performs better since it would be pushing out less pixels at a smaller resolution .

[drachna]

I have the Fire HD8 7th gen. It's a decent tablet, especially if you sideload Google, so I don't think I'll upgrade until there's a HD8 with full HD.

[Maildalej]

Great review and info. Bought on Prime day for $55.

[truthseeker]

i was looking to get this tablet, but sadly it doesnt use sim card. so its a big no for me. i would look into samsung tablets.

just found your channel and i’m an iOS User here

[rockinroller]

Great review but unwatchable due to the distracting background music which seemed more like frontground! Along with your quiet low volume voice, could not make out what you were saying, it’s a pity about the music

[yankeebisbis]

personally I prefer the look of the older one to the new 2020. The older one although its taller but it looks slimmer. The new one, the screen is surrounded by fat ugly bezels which makes it looking antique.
