All-new Yakibest Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, 8′ HD Display, 32 GB, 30% faster processor, 3GB RAM, wireless charging, (2022 release), Gray

We use our fire tablets for music and reading our kindle books, as well as watching our streaming services.

We have had two hdx 7′ the 10′ fire full hd three versions ago, an 8′ hd when they first came out after the 8.9 hdx was discontinued, i still have two fire hdx 8.9′ 4th gen, one 2020 10th gen fire hd 8 plus tablet, and this newest version.

The 2022 fire hd 8 plus tablet is noticeably faster than the 2020. The battery life is unbelievable. I use them for music in the bathrooms and reading my kindle books there too. We connect them via bluetooth to bose soundlink mini and bose flex bt speakers and the sound is amazing. These are great audio/video streaming devices with all the advantages.

I admit the 720p screen is visually very good but i do wish they would come out with a full hd 1080 or better fire hd 8 plus. I took one star off the screen quality just for that. We know they can because the 10′ fire tablet is full 1080 p 1920×1200.

Pros:
display looks good, actually faster, very durable, easy bt and wifi connectivity, back camera is now an acceptable 5mp instead of 2mp like previous versions, the usb c on it is the standard too.

Cons:
no wifi 6, display is not full hd, no heavy duty magnetic origami cases available like the hdx tablets had the cross fold cases are not as stable in portrait and landscape, only 3gb of ram.

Because ios is always under attack as is android there is a bit better security with the amazon version of android. However, not enough to offset the advantages of the play store and all those apps. Google has the pixel phones which i have and they are great, amazon gave up on their phones just like google gave up on their tablets.

If all 8′ and 10′ fire tablets were both made with full hd, minimum 4gb ram, octacore processors, wifi 6, i believe with the economy of scale they could sell the 8′ for less than $150.00 and sell the heck out of them. The ipad crowd would switch if you made them able to access the google play store and make them for google to sell under the pixel name and play nice.

Amazon could leave the fire 7 tablets as they are specs price wise for those on a severe budget and for the kiddos.

C’mon amazon! Like the fire tvs fire tablets could do all the google stuff and the amazon stuff too. They have phones and you have tablets! Let’s kick apple and samsung’s butts. I have my two hd 8+ and two 8.9′ fire tablets but no 10′ in addition to our 13′ surface pro 7, surface pro 7+ and our two 10′ surface go 2 with the m3 faster processor/1920×1280 display, 8gb ram and lte. No not rich we bought only the surface pro 7 and the two fire hd8+ tablets new. The rest we got used like new at steal prices.

This is not fully an ipad replacement. But, for the price point, this is a great tablet. The 3gb of ram and the 6 core processor are responsive. I can continuously stream my 4mb and 5mb outside wireless cameras at their highest resolution on this tablet without any data or video gaps. The browser is snappy. The browser graphics aren’t always super top quality. But, they are clear.

This tablet does allow me to download installation apk files and just install them. I haven’t sideloaded installed a lot of apps, but i also haven’t had any compatibility issues yet.

Speedtest is registering in the low to mid 300’s download speed on my network. I have 400mbs from spectrum and a wifi 6 (ax) router that allows other devices with ac/ax to achieve the full 400mbs downloads.

It’s not the same feel as the ipad, but at about one tenth the cost given my sale price that’s acceptable. This is a very capable little tablet.

It is a little slow compared to other similar devices in our home but it’s fine. I mostly use it to control our smart items in the house and it works great for that. It is connected to all my amazon services so that is very convenient as well. We really only got it because we traded in a very old fire tablet with a broken screen and used the trade in program, which i highly recommend. Between the christmas sale and the trade in discount this ended up being very inexpensive and i have no complaints about it.

I originally had the 2020 version. It was really sluggish just switching between appts. Long delays on opening apps. I decided to trade it in for the 2022 refresh. The difference is night and day. It’s snappier and smoother compared to its predecessor. I was able to sideload google playstore. Now i have both ecosystem on my tablet. No noticeable slowdown and delays while switching between apps. I’m primarily using this tablet for streaming on netflix/plex and reading on the kindle. Personally haven’t tried to do any gaming on it. For a sub $60 tablet, it’s perfect for everything i need it to do. Small and portable. The sound is phenomenal for such a cheap tablet. There is no difference in accessories between 2020 and 2022. I was able to reuse my 2020 case on the 2022 tablet as well as the spare glass screen i had lying around. I definitely enjoyed this 2022 tablet compared to the 2020.

I had no expectations for the fire. I bought it because it was offered at such a great price just to see what it was like. I have always used my ipad and also have a kindle oasis. But after using the fire i’ve basically stopped using the oasis – and the price difference between the fire and ipad is so great you can’t really compare the two but i really do not have any complaints about the fire at the price point. I would highly recommend the fire – and for everything it does it’s worth the price- my only suggestion would be to wait for the best price offered….

I bought this to replace a very old ipad and was not disappointed. The form factor is ideal for me – easy to hold and fits in my small bag. The screen and audio are very good – at least for my abilities to discriminate. It runs what i need (browser, email, and video). The price was great, too.

Other than several minor restrictions on software availability and configuration (compared to an android systems) i am happy.

I hesitated because my old fire was a 2017 and so annoyingly slow that all i used it for was to store recipes. The black friday sale + trading in the old fire brought the price down to a no-brainer. Immediately i was impressed by every feature and the speed! Not clunky is a good way to describe it. Of course not a mini-ipad but for the price, this does exactly what i need. Tablet is thinner, easier to hold, lighter weight, ads are no problem whatsoever, and charging is fast with included type c cable & plug. The trade-in process was easy. Recommend this 3 gb ram tablet with no reservations.

En realidad ya es el reemplazo de una que tengo hace varios años y que no he tenido queja de ella. Por eso decidí comprar una de la misma línea de amazon. Me encantó como vino bien empacada, el sonido, la pantalla, adicional esta trae carga inalámbrica pero esto no lo he probado porque no he comprado el cargador ejejejeje así que en esta parte no puedo opinar.
En fin está excelente y a buen precio comprada en black friday.
La recomiendo.

I love this new generation, the wireless charging is amazing and so far it has kept a long charge they have changed the on and off and charging port location if you want to do a manual charge, love it.

I bought the fire for reading. I have a ipad pro and it’s too big and heavy to hold for an elongated period of time. So this device is perfect for reading. It’s light and the perfect size. It’s also a great tablet for the price.

This is my second 8′ fire tablet. This 8’+ version is faster with great display and light weight to hold for reading and games! But, cord is not longer as advertised!! Charger port on this tablet is smaller than those on my other fire tablets; so my cords are not interchangeable! This short cord is only about 37′ not counting the connection ends. My other devices use a much longer charger cord and the connection plugs are larger.
Another issue is the high number of seriously outdated programs available for download to this new tablet — shocking! Talk about cutting corners! At the least, amazon owes me the longer cord they discuss in their ads for this new 8’+ fire tablet!! …. With connection plugs that fit this tablet’s ports! So, this tablet is fine for the price, if you have patience to update programs and deal with the short cord! Good luck!

What i don’t like about this tablet it will not let me log off amazon music or any amazon prime accounts which is bad for me because i would like to take it out of town or to the coffee shop and i can’t risk the chance of someone taking advantage of my account because i can’t log off.

Don’t know the battery life yet. I do like the type c port. Maybe this port won’t wear out as quick.

I really like the size of it. I bought this to mainly play games and read. For that it’s great. The only thing that i found so far is that the pictures are not real clear and i have had to turn up the brightness to 80.%. I have only had this for a bout a week so i am little worry about the brightness.

I am finding connecting to alexa difficult. But overall i love the new tablet

Touch screen is too temperamental.

After some testing i found that this 2022 model is in fact slightly better and faster than the previous model. The screen is brighter which may take some getting used to. Battery life has also improved. The 8′ size is perfect (not too big or small) however there is no 1080p output (you only get 720p).
