The Amazon Fire HD 8 (2016) is a super-affordable tablet. It’s not really meant for people who pine for the latest Android update, or check out every hot new game going.
It’s for those who want to spend as little as possible on a tablet, without ending up with trash they’ll regret buying when they realize quite how compromised it is.
The new Fire HD 8 isn’t a big upgrade over the last Fire HD 8, it’s actually worse in some respects. However, it’s significantly cheaper too, as it costs $89.99/£89.99 (around AU$120), making it $60/£40 (roughly AU$80) less than the older generation.
Its sheer value is hard to argue with, particularly when the similarly-spec’d Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0 retails for $199 (around £160/AU$265). And that’s if you can even get it – in the UK you’ll only usually find the lesser 7-inch Tab A, at £129 (around $160/AU$210).
The Amazon Fire HD 8 (2016) is far from a perfect tablet, but it’s easily the best you can get at the price without rolling the dice on a no-brand Chinese import, which is a dangerous game.
