The screen is technically HD, but it's basically 720p and not 1080p. In the case of a plus with wireless charging, an extra gigabyte of RAM is $20 more or $110.Īnd the price for the Plus goes up another $20 if you buy a companion wireless charging dock, which you probably want to do.īoth new Fire HD 8s have the same 1280 by 800 pixel resolution display like the previous HD 8. So all in all some pretty substantial upgrades.Īnd for that you'll have to pay a bit more the standard HD eight now costs $90 instead of 80. Previously, the max capacity was 512 gigabytes.

Other small upgrade is that the microSD expansion slot now accepts cars up to one terabyte.

The battery life is now ready to add 12 hours of mixed use instead of 10. Thanks to the combination of a new two gigahertz quad core MediaTek 8168 processor and some software updates. That helps me doing video calls with Zoom and other video calling apps including Amazon's.Ĭompared to the 2018 HD 8 model is a bit wider but shorter in the bezel is now a similar width around the whole display. Now it's on the side so it's at the top when you have it in landscape mode. It used to be at the top of the tablet when you had in portrait mode. What's the big deal is that Amazon has moved the front facing camera. Standard HD has two gigabytes of RAM that's up from 1.5.Īnd the HD plus has three gigabytes of RAM, which is where you get the performance boost. They both have a faster processor, USB-C charging, yes, the HD 8 finally has USB-C charging.Īnd they have improved the Wi-Fi performance, and they bumped from 16 gigabytes to 32 gigabytes Storage in the base model. This time there's a second model, the step up HD 8 Plus that has wireless charging, slightly better performance.Īnd a bigger price tag that may leave you wondering which model to get, so let's get right to it.Īs you can see, the two models look identical on the outside.īut they do come in a few different color options, at least the backs do. Hey there, Amazon has upgraded its 8-inch Fire HD 8 tablet for 2020.
