Decent for media consumption; buy it while it's on sale

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 4, 2022

Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: BlackStyle: Fire HD 8Verified Purchase

TL;DR

The Kindle Fire HD 8 is a serviceable tablet if you don’t intend to use it for much outside of consuming media, primarily from Amazon’s in-house apps. If you’re interested, I recommend that you wait until they’re on sale before making the purchase.

Full Review:

I bought my Kindle Fire HD 8 primarily for listening to music. I use Amazon Music (Unlimited subscriber) and it has a headphone jack. Not wanting to deal with the ads from the lockscreen, I paid to have them removed. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been playing around with the device to see what it’s capable of when it comes to media consumption. Here’s what I’ve come up with! I did manage to sideload Google Play and several apps. I’ll reflect on those experiences, though any issues I had from this will not count against the device, as Google Play and the apps from it are not officially supported.

Interface and Build Quality
You are pretty much stuck with their stock interface. You can’t remove ANY of the Amazon apps from the homescreen. However, you can hide them away in a folder. This cleaned things up, nicely. Toward the top of the screen, you have a static bar that shows your last 2 apps, as well as some recommended apps. They do manage to sneak a sponsored app in there from time to time. Seeing that I paid to get rid of ads, this annoyed me (though it really doesn’t impact my use.) I actually like typing on this more than I do my Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite or my Samsung S22 phone, which surprised me. One would think they’d make sure their own apps are working on their own devices at least as well as the apps work on their competitors devices.

The tablet itself feels kinda cheap, but not as cheap as I expected. The screen’s glass isn’t as smooth as my Samsung devices, but it’s quite functional. You can tell there’s not much power under the hood, as apps take a few seconds to load, and there’s sometimes interface lag when interacting with them. The onboard speakers suck, but I don’t use them. Headphones are the way to go… and since it has a headphone jack, I’m all set. The display is plenty for what I use it for.

Support
I’ve reached out to Amazon a few times to ask questions, or to get help. They’ve been incredibly responsive. The reps have always been courteous and informative. High marks here!

Audio and Video Quality
Music sounds great through my Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones, especially HD and Ultra HD from Amazon Music. Strangely, the app does not have an EQ option (I can adjust the EQ on my Windows PC and on my other Android devices.) It supports my Fosi Audio DS1 with no problems. This improves the sound a bit (mostly making things a bit louder.) It did not power up my Fosi Audio K5 Pro, however. Unfortunately, the Kindle Fire HD 8 did not support my Bluetooth Audio Technica ATH-SR50BT’s, which was a disappointment. On the flipside, I was able to sideload 4Stream and the Andover Songbird app to get it to stream HD audio to my Denon D-M41, which was a pleasant surprise.

I took some time to watch some streaming video via Prime Video, Netflix and YouTube (sideloaded via Google Play.) Even though it’s not a true “HD” display, the screen is small enough to make it not matter so much. Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Rings probably benefited from this, as the movie didn’t age well in our HD world. The audio on it was also quite engaging through my headphones. Ash vs the Evil Dead on Netflix also streamed flawlessly, and looked great on the screen. YouTube videos play just fine as well, even though the app was sideloaded.

As an eReader
The Kindle Fire HD 8 works great as an eReader, as one would expect. Since I don’t plan to read much from it, I didn’t explore it much. Books loaded just fine, and you can interact with them as you’d expect (the Kindle is pretty robust for this, for those who’re interested.)

Non-media Consumption
I tried getting Discord to work on the Fire HD 8. While I was able to install it, the experience was pretty terrible. Browsing the internet with the Silk browser leaves some to be desired, and the mail/calendar apps are not something I’m interested in using. Again, I’m using this primarily for music, so I’m fine with this. However, if I needed to use it for anything productive, I’d be quite frustrated.

Google Play
Instructions on how to get Google Play installed are readily available online, and it’s easily doable within an hour’s time. I was able to install an EQ for my music, which works okay (I did have the app crash once.) The Gmail app loaded fairly well, as did Google Chrome. However, I can’t sync Chrome, as my email account was already used to activate the Kindle. There haven’t been any issues with YouTube. Dragon Quest 1 and 2 installed flawlessly and seem to work fine. However, Baldur’s Gate 1 & 2, along with other Beamdog games did not install at all (these aren’t officially supported, but folks claim it works. Not for me!) Again, none of these experiences with Google Play will count for or against my overall rating for this device. I’m simply stating them in case anyone else is interested in tinkering.

Ultimately, the Kindle Fire HD 8 is okay for the money (when on sale.) It works for my purposes, but I can tell it’d leave a lot to be desired if I wanted to use it for anything more. The fact that they still advertise apps on the home screen, even after you pay to remove ads is annoying (enough to knock my rating down a star.) I do suspect that the Kindle Fire devices are probably loss-leaders, and any ads they can cram in help generate income.

Great software held back by mediocre hardware

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2023

Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: BlackStyle: Fire HD 8Verified Purchase

I got the 2022 Fire HD 8 to replace my 2013 Fire HDX 7. While the software on the new tablet is a huge upgrade, the hardware is rather lackluster (the decade-old HDX had an excellent display and processor, even by today's standards). The Fire HD 8 is still perfectly usable for most basic tasks as long as you put up with occasional stutters, and the 8" size is a sweet spot that is not too large for ebook reading but also not too small for watching videos. There are very few alternatives in the compact tablet market and pretty much none at this price point.

Hardware:

The display has a resolution of 1280x800, so it's not full HD (compared to 1920x1200 on the old HDX 7 as well as the current Fire HD 10). The lack of sharpness is most noticeable with smaller text, but otherwise the resolution is not really an issue when reading ebooks (I use a medium font size) or when watching videos.

The stereo speakers are also pretty good for a tablet of this size, certainly good enough for watching videos. For music, I use wireless headphones paired via Bluetooth, but there is also a wired headphone jack for those who prefer that.

The MediaTek processor is perhaps the biggest letdown on the hardware side, it barely gets the job done and chokes if you try to do anything fancy.

Battery life is excellent. Since my last charge 3 days ago, I've used the tablet about an hour each day (mix of reading, music and videos) and I have just under 80% remaining. That is pretty much in line with the advertised battery life of 13 hours, and it loses very little charge on standby. Using a USB-C charger capable of fast charging (not the bundled one), it charges fully in under 2 hours.

Software:

Fire OS is a pleasure to use, especially if you're into the Amazon ecosystem. Obviously it comes preloaded with all the Amazon apps, but my favorite part of the UI is the Library tab on the home screen, which provides quick access to recently viewed content in each app (such as Kindle books or recently visited websites). It's basically an improved version of the carousel on my old HDX, and it's a really useful feature that other tablets could benefit from.

Fire OS comes with the Amazon Appstore - it is technically possible to get access to the Google Play Store, but this is probably not the right tablet if you use a ton of apps. The Amazon Appstore does have apps for most subscription video services, however there is no official YouTube app (I just use the browser and it works fine).

There is even a split-screen mode that lets you run two apps side-by-side, but the underpowered processor makes this unusable in practice. I even had the tablet lock up once when playing around with the split-screen feature. It's a shame because the software features really deserve a better processor.

Overall, it's a decent tablet for the price and works fine for reading books, listening to music and watching videos. That "decent" could turn into "excellent" with a faster processor and a full HD (1080p) screen, and I would gladly pay a bit extra for that.

It is okay

Digital Storage Capacity: 32 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: BlackStyle: Fire HD 8Verified Purchase

This is my fourth Fire tablet. My last one was bought in 2020 and I lost it. The battery life on the new tablet is much better than previous models. I mainly use the Fire tablets for reading and playing game apps, and that has become my biggest problem with the tablet. One of the games I play is June’s Journey and for some reason that game does not function right on the new tablet. It is a game that is partially supported by ads and the game shuts down without me getting credit for watching it. It also randomly closes other times and gets stuck. I have to use my phone for that game now. Other games function but not that one, and the previous Fire models had no issues with that game.
