- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024Digital Storage Capacity: 64 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: GrayStyle: Fire HD 8 PlusVerified PurchaseSpeed, memory, quality, color and design I am enjoying using and becoming familiar with my new tablet. I ordered it with extra memory. It's smaller and lighter for me to pop in my coat pocket or bag when I'm going out. I am also extremely pleased with the wireless charging feature. I ordered the foldable charger. Easy to take with you, charges upright or flat and it is charging through a leather cover. Yes! Definitely recommend it and the extras offered.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2023Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: GrayStyle: Fire HD 8 PlusVerified PurchaseI already own multiple iPads and higher end Android tablets. Why did I end up buying the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus and give it a 5 star rating?
This tablet simply exceeded my expectations.
I was in the market for a smaller lighter tablet to read books and manga. As good as my other tablets are, they are not easy to hold for multiple hours of reading. Holding a metal and glass tablet with a 10.6 inch screen gets tiring over a few hours.
The screen on this Amazon tablet is more than adequate for reading books from the Kindle app. This is near perfect for manga since the screen size is similar to paper manga. Images and text appear nice and clear.
Installing the Google Play store was easy. I need apps like Google Home, Keep, Drive, and GBoard. YouTube works just fine.
My use case is rather easy to handle. I let my kids test this tablet. If it can keep up with my kids, then it can handle what I need a tablet for.
When I handed this off to my kids, they just went overboard on games. They couldn't find all of the games they play in the Amazon shop store, so I'll be referencing some games from the Google Play store.
Roblox is a popular app for my kids. The overall performance was good. It really depends on which game they are playing from Roblox. Piggy ran well. Broken Bones was very jittery but playable. Yeet-a-friend plays well if you disable some of the extra options for the game itself. Cookie Swirl C World is playable, but was not the smoothest. Spray Paint played well. Spider also played well. Random OBEEs splayed well.
Here is the pattern I noticed with Roblox. If the game supports a large lobby, then there is a greater chance that the game runs a bit slower. I noticed that the large lobby games are running a bit slow, but my kids didn't care. They were still happily playing and winning without issues.
Granny Chapter 1 and 2 play well.
Gacha Life and Gacha Club ran well.
Among Us ran well.
They were playing more games, but I couldn't keep up with their long list.
Overall, this tablet can run games well enough. It won't be as smooth as a higher end tablet, but I didn't notice any random crashes. My kids would have definitely complained about it. If you are considering this tablet for your kids to play games, you need to consider which games they are playing.
Surprisingly TikTok worked well. When swiping through videos, it may take a second to load before it plays. I don't notice that issue on my other tablets. After the initial pause, the videos play well.
Since reading and productivity were my main concern, it's a 5 star tablet for the price. Games are just the icing on the cake. Since I don't play them often it would not have been a concern for me. Now I have another device to hand off to my kids in those just in case situations.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: GrayStyle: Fire HD 8 PlusVerified PurchaseBack in the day, big tobacco was in front of congress and it was determined cigarettes are a nicotine delivery device.
This like all Amazon products is an Amazon delivery device. You decide if that's good or bad.
Having retired I no longer need a computer so it is off and out of the way. Most of my heavy lifting is with a Samsung Tab S7 plus. This was not cheap but by far exceeds my needs. The 10 inch screen is plenty big, but it's a bit heavy for extended use. My needs are now reading a lot and music.
I wanted something smaller that I could leave on the patio where I spend much of my time. The weight and size are just about right. The Amazon apps work fine and are speedy enough. Something like NY Times apps is not native to Amazon and is a bit slow. I can live with that.
On the patio I have 2 echo studio speakers paired with a subwoofer. By the way, it sounds amazing. The Amazon music app allows for streaming music from the tablet/phone to whatever echo you want. The native speakers in this tab are abysmal, but who cares? Bluetooth or streaming and I knew that going in.
I have the charging stand which can allow show mode on the tablet to remind you Amazon has so many things for you to buy. I listen to Arizona Diamondbacks on Sirius/xm and the tablet announces upcoming events or scores. Much easier to navigate Audible books and podcast because sometimes, echo doesn't get it right. Of course when in show mode it will take voice commands as will the paired studios.
For basic purposes, this is a fine tablet. I won't be gaming on it because I'm old. But for a great reading and music experience, this does a great job. Yes my phone can do all these things, but the screen is just a little to small. 8 inches is just right. It's lite enough not to cause wrist aches.
For internet searches, YouTube etc, I'll save that for other devices. I don't even have email set up on the tab because I'm old and grumpy so no news is good news.
I have the Libby app set up on it and it works great. Libby is good for library material. I have the top Amazon music app which plays spacial music. Again studio in pair is a great experience. Forget the native speakers.
This gets 4 stars because for what I want, it works just fine. My needs for this are basic. If the NY Times worked better it might get 5 stars. The rating is based upon what this tab is, not what it is not. The Samsung S series is by far better as is the android system, but at a great deal more money like 5 times what I paid for this.
Battery life is fine especially with the recharging stand.
I can't attest to video latency since it's not used for that. Nor can I say much about Amazon Silk searches, again not used for that.
Just music and reading.
