Third-party reviews

What we like about Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (3GB + 64GB)

  • Affordable pricing, especially during regular Amazon sales events
  • Excellent battery life, often exceeding 12 hours of mixed usage
  • Supports Qi wireless charging, a rare feature for budget tablets
  • Sturdy and durable plastic construction that handles drops well
  • Seamless integration with Amazon services like Prime Video, Kindle, and Alexa
  • Compact 8-inch size is highly portable and comfortable for long-term handheld use

What we don't like about Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (3GB + 64GB)

  • Limited app selection due to the lack of native Google Play Store access
  • Lower-resolution 1280 x 800 display lacks the sharpness of Full HD screens
  • Underwhelming cameras (2MP front, 5MP rear) that produce grainy, low-quality images
  • Noticeable lag and stuttering during multitasking or loading heavy applications
  • Base models include lock-screen advertisements unless a fee is paid to remove them
  • Slow wired charging speeds even with the provided 9W adapter
  • Glossy screen is highly reflective and lacks a quality fingerprint-resistant coating

Verdict

The Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (2022, 12th Gen) is a compact 8-inch tablet featuring an 8-inch HD display (1280 x 800), a 2.0 GHz hexa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, and 64GB of internal storage, expandable up to 1TB via microSD. Its main characteristics include Qi wireless charging support, a 5MP rear camera, and up to 13 hours of battery life with a 9W power adapter included for faster 3-hour charging. The primary pros are its affordable price, durable build quality, and seamless integration with Alexa and Amazon services for media consumption. However, notable cons include the lack of Google Play Store support, relatively slow performance for demanding tasks, and a non-laminated, reflective screen that is difficult to use in bright outdoor lighting.
