Amazon Fire HD 8 2018 review: Basic to the extreme, but hands-free Alexa is a nice bonus
Amazon Fire HD 8
$79.99 (Starting)
The Good
Very affordable at $79.99 with special offers • Display is good enough for 'consumption • ' with great color accuracy • Sound is surprisingly balanced • Front facing camera is good for video calls • Hands-free AlexaThe Bad
Processor is average but slow for heavy tasks and games • No access to the Google Play Store for apps • YouTube is not supportedThe Bottom Line
At $80, the Fire HD 8 can be a cheap Echo Show replacement, or a basic Android tablet that works well for consuming media.Mashable Score3.5
