Build and Screen

Amazon Fire HD 8 shows off an attractive slim body, measuring only 7.7 millimetres in thickness. Although the tablet is hardly the slimmest available on the market, it holds that honour among slates that have been produced by its maker to date.

Amazon Fire HD 8 features a rugged build, having reportedly passed through the durability-focused tumble test 200 times. Amazon says this means the Fire HD 8 is nearly two times more durable that Apple’s iPad Air 2.

The device crams in an 8-inch diagonal touchscreen with an HD resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The IPS display has a pixel density of 189 ppi – not the best you can get on a tablet of this size, but it should still offer enjoyable viewing.

Camera and Storage

A 5-megapixel primary camera is provided on Amazon Fire HD 8 to enable you capture some decent images. The shooter can be used to record Full HD (1080p) videos. Buyers also get a 720-pixel camera on the front for selfies and Skype. Internal storage is 8 GB, expandable up to 128 GB via the provided microSD slot.

Performance and OS

Amazon Fire HD 8 should deliver fast and responsive performance being equipped with a quad-core MediaTek processor, which has two cores running at 1.5 GHz and another two at 1.2 GHz. The chip is backed up by a paltry 1 GB of RAM.

The slate runs on the latest Fire OS 5 Bellini software for the best of experience currently possible on the Amazon platform. The OS lets you download content to your microSD card for offline viewing.

Other Features

Amazon promises up to eight hours of mixed use on a single battery charge. The Fire HD 8 supports a Family Library feature to allow you link your Amazon account to that of a family member for content sharing across devices.
