For the first time in years, Amazon has announced a new Fire HD 8 with major improvements, as well as a new Plus model with extra goodies.
Amazon has finally updated its Fire HD 8 tablet with some significant changes. It’s been years since the last upgrade, so it’s definitely time the cheap tablet line sees a refresh. The update brings with it some incremental tweaks, a new price, and some disappointing things that stayed the same.
The company posted the new tablets on its website with a breakdown of the features. Some of them are quite appealing for the price, making this a device that might be worth picking up for anyone in need of a device with a relatively large screen that’s cheap.
The original Amazon Fire HD 8 is getting a boost to its specs just about everywhere. Rather than the 1.3GHz quad-core processor that was in the original to a 2.0GHz chip, Amazon says the new processor is 30% faster than the one in the original tablet.
