Our take on the Amazon Fire HD 8

The Fire HD 8 is Amazon's 8-inch budget tablet, built for reading, streaming and light browsing inside Amazon's ecosystem. This 2020 model has a 1280 x 800 screen, a hexa-core MediaTek MT8168 chip, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage with a microSD slot, USB-C charging and a 4850 mAh battery rated around 12 hours. It is not a full Android tablet: Fire OS means no Google Play, so apps come from Amazon's Appstore. At $49.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range and is one of the cheapest ways to get a working tablet.

Pros
  • Low price: $49.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026

  • microSD slot expands storage beyond the built-in 32 GB
  • USB-C charging, same cable as most phones
  • Rated around 12 hours of mixed use
  • Light at 12.5 oz and thin enough to hold one-handed
Cons
  • Only 2 GB of RAM; heavy apps and many tabs slow it down
  • No Google Play, so no Gmail, Chrome or YouTube app from Google
  • Lockscreen ads unless you pay to remove Special Offers
  • 2 MP front and rear cameras are poor even for video calls
  • 720p video recording and no GPS

Questions and answers

Is the Fire HD 8 worth it in 2026?
At $49.99 at eBay as of November 5, 2026, yes, if you mainly read, stream and use Amazon apps. It is a poor fit if you need Google apps or plan to multitask heavily.
Can I install Google Play on it?
Not officially. Fire OS uses Amazon's Appstore, so Google apps like Chrome, Gmail and the Play Store are not preinstalled; sideloading is possible but unsupported and can break after updates.
How much storage does it have?
This listing is 32 GB, with a microSD slot for expansion. The system takes a few GB, so expect roughly 25 GB free out of the box.
How long does the battery last?
Amazon rates it around 12 hours of mixed reading and video. Expect less with heavy streaming or the screen at full brightness.
Does it have ads?
Yes, this version includes Special Offers, which show ads on the lockscreen. You can pay Amazon to remove them, which changes the effective price.
What is in the box?
The tablet, a USB-C cable and a power adapter. No case or microSD card is included.
Where is the Amazon Fire HD 8 cheapest?
At eBay, for $63.50, 21% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 220 ratings.
