Our take on the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet (2022 Release)
The Fire HD 8 Plus is Amazon's 8-inch tablet, an upgraded version of the standard Fire HD 8 with more RAM and wireless charging. It runs Amazon's Fire OS, which centers on Amazon apps and the Appstore rather than Google Play, so it suits people who mainly read, stream and browse within Amazon's ecosystem. Against the standard Fire HD 8 it adds memory and a charging dock option; against Samsung's Galaxy Tab A8 it is smaller and cheaper-feeling but easier to hold one-handed. Reviewers treat it as a solid budget tablet for casual use, not a productivity device.
- 8-inch screen is light and easy to hold one-handed
- More RAM than the standard Fire HD 8 for smoother switching
- Wireless charging works with a charging dock
- Long battery life for reading and video
- Expandable storage via microSD
