The Fire HD 8 tablet with 43% discount before Prime Day

Besides laptops and smartphones, tablets are probably the most common. Those who prefer to watch films in bed rather than in front of the TV appreciate the convenience of these handy multimedia devices. Amazon has been delivering its Fire HD tablets for years and offers good mid-range devices at a reasonable price. These undercut most current competitor products, especially when they are on sale.

Small and versatile

The Fire HD 8 tablet The manufacturer advertises it with a battery life of 13 hours and it is well equipped with its 8-inch display with a resolution of 1920×1080. The version offered at a discount therefore comes with 64 GB of storage, which can be expanded up to 1 terabyte via a microSD card. The screen is made of reinforced aluminum-silicate glass and, according to the manufacturer, is twice as robust as that of the Apple iPad mini from 2021. The in-house services such as Prime Video, Alexa, Audible or Amazon Kids are already pre-installed. Of course, the device also has speakers and a camera.

Restrictions due to Amazon exclusivity

Unfortunately, the versatility ends when it comes to using the Google Play Store. If you also want to use apps that you have installed on your smartphone, you may be faced with the problem that the Amazon App Store does not offer them. It is also too small for work. The Fire HD tablet 10 or an even larger product from another manufacturer is the better choice here. The somewhat low 2 GB RAM can also become a problem when multitasking.
