Verdict

The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus 2020 is an 8-inch budget tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 IPS display (189 ppi), a 2.0 GHz quad-core MediaTek MT8168 processor, and 3GB of RAM. This specific 64GB storage variant supports expansion up to 1TB via microSD and includes a 4,850mAh battery providing up to 12 hours of mixed-use. Key pros include the addition of Qi wireless charging—a rarity for budget devices—faster 9W wired charging, and a durable plastic build that is twice as drop-resistant as an iPad mini. However, notable cons include the lack of native Google Play Store access, a relatively low-resolution screen with poor outdoor visibility, and mediocre 2MP front and rear cameras.
