Kindle Fire HD 8 Plus Review: Affordable Performance with a Few Trade-offs
The Kindle Fire HD 8 Plus is Amazon’s value-driven tablet that punches above its weight class in several key areas—especially price. Designed for casual media consumption, light productivity, and Alexa integration, this tablet finds a sweet spot for budget-conscious users.🔹 Pros:+ Great Value:At under $120, the Fire HD 8 Plus offers a solid feature set that rivals tablets twice its price. It’s a perfect entry-level option or secondary device.+ Solid Build Quality:Despite the plastic shell, the tablet feels durable and sturdy in hand. It’s compact and lightweight, making it ideal for travel or kids.+ Improved Performance:With 3GB RAM (an upgrade from the standard Fire HD 8’s 2GB), the Plus model handles multitasking and app switching better. For casual use—streaming, reading, browsing—it performs smoothly.+ Wireless Charging & USB-C:Wireless charging support is a standout feature in this price range. USB-C also means faster charging and modern compatibility.+ Alexa Show Mode:Turns the tablet into a smart display, essentially giving you an Echo Show experience when docked or placed on a stand.🔸 Cons:– Fire OS Limitations:Fire OS is essentially a modified Android, and it heavily pushes Amazon’s ecosystem. Without the Google Play Store (unless you sideload it), app selection is limited.– Display Quality:The 8" HD screen is serviceable, but not remarkable. It’s a bit reflective, with modest resolution (1280x800), which can feel dated compared to modern tablets.– Camera and Speakers:The 2MP front and rear cameras are basic, best used for quick video calls or scanning documents. Speakers are average—fine for personal listening, but nothing immersive.🔹 Best For:Casual users who want a reliable tablet for streaming, eBooks, light browsingAmazon Prime members who can maximize integrationParents looking for a kid-friendly device (with optional Kids+ subscription)Budget shoppers who don’t need flagship specsVerdict:The Kindle Fire HD 8 Plus offers excellent value for its price, especially if you’re already in the Amazon ecosystem. It’s not a productivity powerhouse, but for media, reading, and light apps, it does the job admirably. The wireless charging and added RAM make it a worthy upgrade over the base model.

Best deal for a budget tablet
I have been looking for an entry level tablet for about 3 months was doing a lot of research into specific models I was looking for a basic media and web surfing w email one day I opened up the Amazon app and saw a pre Prime day sale I already was planning on buying one on Prime anyway when I saw it was only 54.99 I was soldBecause I had already done my research and this was on the list I must say I absolutely love this table it handles everything I throw at it with ease and I have no problem s at all with proformance I'm happy with the build quilty it is plastic but if your using a case it does not matter my expectations were actually blow away with this one I'm super impressed with it especially for 34.99 after my credit is buy it again for sure I recommend itT to anyone that needs a media tablet its not going to play computer gamers I like the grey as well the screen is perfect size and looks great what a deal !!!!!!

Entertaining
My daughter loves the size and how easy it is to use for all things entertainment. She has an iPad, but it’s heavy and is used for more business type activities. She uses her IPhone for quick use as she carries it on her everywhere, but her Fire tablet is her go to for games, movies, and reading, especially when she’s on her lunch break at work. She’s a very happy camper😊

same ol...
Third and last purchase.Owned the original fire, then the first 8 inch model and then the 8 inch hd.Pros:priceit works as it shouldis durable, can take some abuse such as drops and spillsgood sound & display qualityCons:Filled with nonremovable bloatware and amazon apps that you don't really need and have no choice about.locked to amazon app store unless you sideload, jailbreak or take the time to figure out which version of google playisnt blocked so you can access the plethora of apps on google.All in all, out of the box this is a good, affordable tablet for basic use.It can be made into a better experience by voiding the warranty and breaking amazon TOS, just saying...I have discovered the cheap Chinese tablets that have more ram and zero bloatware or apps preinstalled and won't be coming back to the Fire.

Great Little Tablet
I love it, it’s super fast which means that I can do a search quickly. My old fire tablet finally died on me, but I had it for like a bazillion years. I’m enjoying my games again too. Highly recommend and the price is right.

Tablet
Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this tablet because of the price and that it is Amazon. Unlike most Amazon products I have bought, I am not fully satisfied. Amazon will not let me download about 70% of the apps I really want and need. I can't download Google Play Store to get them. Only Amazon App Store. I like the tablet itself, but not it's imposed limitations.
