Prime Day is just around the corner, but early Prime Day and Fourth of July deals are already here. If you’re looking for a tablet to do some streaming or social media doom scrolling, the 64GB Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is $54.99 (originally $129.99).
The Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet came out in 2022 and succeeded the Amazon Fire 7 tablet, which ironically is $5 more than the Fire HD 8 right now. This Fire HD 8 is one inch bigger, has a faster hexa-core processor (over the quad-core), better resolution with 1,280 by 800 pixels, about three more hours of battery life (between 10 and 13 hours), has a brighter screen, and twice as much storage with the possibility to expand it to 1TB.
The high-definition touch screen is not amazing by any means (neither is the 2GB RAM or 2MP cameras), but for a $54.99 tablet, you’ll get great value for your money if you’re just looking for something you can carry around to watch your shows or surf the web. This is a great budget tablet, but keep in mind that since it is a Fire Tablet, you’ll be limited in terms of the apps you can download. Fire devices are not compatible with Google, so you won’t have the Google App Store. You’ll still have access to all of the major streaming apps from Amazon’s own app store, though.
