Amazon Fire HD 8 (2020) | Budget Tablet Unboxing & Tour

Unboxing the 10th Generation Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, fresh for 2020, with a full tour of the Fire OS software, specs and other bits. Here's how the new Fire HD 8 compares to last year's model and the Plus version, which costs £20 more in the UK.

If you want a budget-friendly Android tablet then this is one of your best options, although you'll need to use Amazon's online services to truly appreciate it. This 10th Gen model improves on performance with a new chipset and extra RAM, while battery life clocks in at around 10-12 hours depending on usage. The 2020 Fire HD 8 definitely offers good value at under £100, while the Plus model gives you a slight specs boost for a little extra cost.

Of course, the Fire OS interface is completely focused on Amazon's services. From Prime Video and Audible to Kindle Unlimited, this is an ideal tablet for accessing all of your movies, books and beyond. It's also a good one for kids, thanks to that rugged design and the abundance of apps for children on the app store.

Check out my reviews of Amazon's Kindle eReaders, Fire TV streaming boxes and Alexa speakers for the rest of the own-brand line-up.

This mediatek powered tablet is actually quite amazing in terms of its overall performance. And it is reasonably priced as well

[ericyoung]

this handy tablet has been a great companion during the lockdown! It is a great affordable option with not just amazing speakers but the battery life and smooth performance is kept in check with an in-built mediatek processor, which is totally cool

Another fun video fella. :-) Ahhhh "She who shall not be named" - Paul Hibbert Hahahaha (Anyone else agree that Hibbert Home Tech is like this one, a funny tech channel too?)

The features and the specs of the Amazon Fire 8 Tablet makes it one of the best go to options for people looking for a tablet in the budget segment. Mediatek chipset along with the bigger battery life and bigger display makes it worth buying. For the kind of features that are integrated, the price of the tablet is pretty decent and affordable.

[RangoliBlessings]

Thanks for the detailed comparison ! I think I'll go for the Fire HD 8

[SHGames]

First time at your channel, first 30 seconds and I already like it. Great job!

I am looking forward to getting the Plus version. Thanks for the excellent review.

Just got the bogo deal at Best Buy. Both should arrive Tuesday. Thanks for the review 👍🏻

[Del-Canada]

Can buy this with their installment plan also. So handy. No interest or tax. They just split the payments into five and you pay exactly what you would pay if you bought it outright. Been buying so many things that way.

[saiputcha]

A very under rated thing about your videos:



Your timing is perfect👌

[DaVlog]

I just got my Fire 7 (2019 edition) 3 days ago. Good enough for Netflix and YouTube.😁👍 If have to install social media apps, have to use the lite versions of the apps to keep the tablet from lagging.

I bought the last version of this for Mrs Metalman last Christmas and apart from being painful slow it did every thing she wanted, reading books, updating Facebook and reading her Daily Mail. I think next years Christmas has now been sorted. Cheers Alan
