Some of the specs include 32GB internal storage (you can add a 1TB microSD card to boost this further), a 2.0Ghz quad-core chipset which Amazon claims is 30% faster than the previous version and, of course, Alexa built-in. There’s also 2GB RAM.

Unlike other tablets that run Android, Amazon’s Fire tablet use the brand’s own app store and user-interface. It’s very much designed to funnel you towards Amazon’s content and it does a great job at this. You’ll enjoy this if you’re already deep in the ecosystem.

Apps you can download include Netflix, Disney+, iPlayer, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and many, many more.

We gave the Fire HD 8 a 3.5/5 score in our full review, however it’s much more of a tempting deal with this hefty Prime Day saving.

In our review we said, “While it isn’t the best tablet around, the Amazon Fire HD 8 is a fine device, and for £89.99 it’s something of an impulse buy. If you’re after a cheap tablet, maybe for the kids, or something solely for watching media on your commute this is a good pick. Its screen is fair, the build quality is fine and there’s plenty of storage.”






Trusted Take

The Fire HD 8 is a good tablet, especially at this price. It’s cheap and cheerful and ideal for commutes or long car journeys.
