Amazon has already started this year’s Prime Day celebrations ahead of schedule, and it unveiled special deals on its website since morning. On most of its own brand products such as Fire TV and Fire tablets, Prime members are discovering fantastic deals.
Of these, one of the standout devices is the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet and it is now available at a fresh all-time low price of $54: That’s a big markdown from its regular list price of $120, and at 54% off, it’s not surprising that this tablet is the #1 best-seller in the Computers category on Amazon with over 10,000 units sold alone just last month.
8-Inch HD Screen
With an 8-inch HD screen, it delivers crisp images that are great for viewing videos, reading or browsing the web. The screen is made of strengthened aluminosilicate glass that is twice as tumble-resistant as the Apple iPad mini 2021 in tumble tests. Its more compact and lightweight newest design can fit into a pocket or bag without any hassle for long periods of time.
It features a faster hexa-core processor that’s 30% faster than the previous generation along with 3GB of RAM for effortless multitasking. Whether you’re reading mail, checking your to-do lists or jumping between apps, this tablet catches up without sacrificing a step. The 32GB storage is ample for most people and if you need more space, expandable storage is an option to 1TB via the microSD card.
The Fire HD 8 Plus also supports wireless charging: Just put the tablet onto a compatible wireless charging dock (separately available) and it charges up without any fuss. That makes it perfect for use in busy homes where devices are always being used and need to be topped up in a hurry. The tablet is also supplied with a 9W charger in the box for ordinary charging.
It also offers up to 13 hours of total usage including reading, web browsing, video streaming and listening to music. That gives you the capacity to hear or view your favorite content throughout the day without concern about juice exhaustion. Fire HD 8 Plus comes with a preinstalled 2MP front-facing camera and 5MP rear camera so that you can snap photos or keep in touch with friends and family using apps like Zoom. Alexa is built into it so that you can speak your way into making video calls or receiving fast answers to your questions.
For entertainment, the Fire HD 8 Plus has access to a broad array of popular apps and services, including Netflix, Facebook, Hulu, Instagram, and TikTok. While the Amazon Appstore is not compatible with Google Play, there’s still a great assortment of available options to keep everyone entertained. Some do have subscription requirements, but there’s no lack of free content to enjoy.
Don’t wait too long, though: limited-time deals like this one tend to disappear very rapidly as soon as Prime Day officially begins.
