The American giant has decided that it is a good time to update its device, taking advantage of the start of September, a very favorable month for the purchase of this type of equipment. Let's get to know him better.
Little by little the tablet Amazon has managed to open a small gap between those who are looking for a tablet but not spend too much money on it. The line of Amazon tablets in general it is perfect in fact for that type of user who needs the basics in a tablet, without too many flourishes And above all, without spending too much. And why not say it: it is also an idea for the little ones.
Features of the new Fire HD 8 (2018)
The Amazon Fire HD 8 it obviously maintains its 8-inch screen (we are talking about a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels with a density of 189 dpi) and a similar design, so that the novelties are under its casing. So the team changes, for example, its front camera, leaving behind the 0,3 megapixel VGA sensor and moving instead to a 2 MP camera capable of recording at 720p, something that will surely be counted when you use your tablet to maintain a video conferencing.
The microSD card slot also now supports drives up to 400 GB storage, instead of the 256 GB limit that it had before, which will serve to expand the internal 16 or 32 GB that comes standard, depending on the model you choose.
For the rest, we meet again with a computer with a 1,3 GHz quad-core processor with 1,5 GB of RAM. It offers sound with Dolby Audio technology through its two integrated stereo speakers and has a battery life of up to 10 hours of battery life.
Measuring 214 x 128 x 9,7 mm and weighing 363 grams, the tablet comes with dual-band Wi-Fi and does not forget to offer a 2 MP HD rear camera.
One of the great novelties of this tablet has to do with the software of the computer although unfortunately ... you will not be able to enjoy it unless you read us from the US.
