Amazon Fire HD tablets are some of the most affordable tablets with few competitors. You should not be dissuaded by the low price at which they come; they are excellent devices. If you need a tablet to perform basic tasks like watching movies with high resolutions and more, you don’t need to break the bank for the iPads or S7s; Fire HD tablets are excellent choices. They have powerful processors to run your apps effectively and large expandable storage to store your contents. If you’re a college student or can’t afford the high-end, Fire HDs are viable options.
Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus
Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus is one of the incredibly cheap and lightweight tablets Amazon offers to perform all essential tasks. The display is excellent for watching movies, reading eBooks, playing games. With Wi-Fi, you can download content, make video calls, have zoom meetings, stream videos from Netflix or any other ones you subscribe to, and more. The RAM and quad-core processor are powerful enough to handle your apps and games, although there are limits. If you are used to getting your apps from the Google play store, you’ll have to cope without it as play-store is not supported, but you can easily install it by following some internet instructions.
Amazon has provided its Appstore to download all your essential apps like Instagram, Facebook, and more. The 2mp rear and front cameras give you nice pictures, but you shouldn’t expect the quality you get in the high tablets. And with just your voice, Alexa is there to serve. Just command it to play your videos, open apps, or control smart home devices, and you won’t be disappointed. The battery should last 12 hours depending on usage and gets fully charged with USB-C in about 4 hours, provided you are not using it while charging. If you want to charge wirelessly, place the device in the charging dock, or get a Qi-certified wireless charger.
