Is the Fire HD 8 (2022) worth buying at $94.99?

At $94.99 it is near the top of its recent range, so it is a fair price rather than a deal. It makes sense if you mainly read, stream and use Alexa and can live without Google Play.

How does it compare with the Fire HD 10?

The HD 10 has a larger, sharper 1080p screen and more RAM, which suits video and light multitasking better. The HD 8 is smaller, lighter and cheaper, which suits reading and travel.

Can I use Google Play and Google apps on it?

No. It ships with Amazon's Appstore, and Google Play is not officially supported. Some Google apps can be sideloaded, but that is unsupported and can break after updates.

How much storage can I add?

It comes with 64 GB built in and takes a microSD card up to 1 TB. Cards are best for downloaded video, music and books rather than apps.

How long does the battery last and how long does it take to charge?

Amazon rates battery life at up to 13 hours of mixed use. A full charge takes about 5 hours with the included charger.

What comes in the box?

You get the tablet, a USB-C cable and a power adapter. No case or microSD card is included.

Our take on the Amazon Fire HD 8 (12th Gen, 2022)

The 2022 Fire HD 8 is Amazon's 8-inch budget tablet, with a 1280 x 800 screen, a hexa-core processor, 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage that expands to 1 TB via microSD. Amazon rates battery life at up to 13 hours, and it charges over USB-C. At $94.99 at Amazon as of November 7, 2026, it sits near the top of its recent range, so it is not a standout deal right now.
