If you are looking for one of best tablets money can buy in 2023, Amazon’s Fire lineup probably isn’t the way to go. There’s absolutely no universe in which the latest Fire HD 10 edition can take Apple’s latest “regular” iPad or Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 and Tab S7 families in terms of raw power or much else. …apart, of course, from affordability.
Yes, the Fire HD 10 (2021) and Fire HD 8 (2022) are definitely among the better budget tablets there, and for a presumably limited time only, they’re both even cheaper than usual.
Normally priced at a very reasonable $99.99+, the 12th-gen hexa-core Fire HD 8 can be had at the time of this writing for $40 below its MSRP in both 32 and 64GB storage variants with or without lock screen ads.
By no means a powerhouse, the reasonably compact 8-inch offers “all-day” battery life in addition to vastly improved overall performance over its predecessor, as well as a “vibrant” screen with… a disappointing 1280 resolution x 800 pixels.
If you don’t expect the Fire HD 8’s 2GB RAM to meet your daily multitasking needs, the Fire HD 8 Plus packs an additional GB of memory, as well as faster charging. and wireless charging capabilities at a slightly higher price point also marked by a nice $40 right now.
Then you have the biggest, sharpest, fastest and oldest Fire HD 10 on sale today for up to $85 off in “regular” and Plus versions.
The Fire HD 10 Plus differs from the “regular” Fire HD 10 with 4GB of RAM and wireless charging, but both models sport the exact same Full HD screen resolution and 2.0 octa-core processing power GHz.
While not the biggest ever, these great new discounts are better than those offered by Amazon since Black Friday (including Christmas), which should certainly help the company maintain its stable position in the global tablet market. After all, there aren’t many 8-inch or 10-inch Android-based devices available at that kind of price…anywhere in the United States.
