Reviews for the Amazon Fire HD 8 inch 2015

80% Amazon Fire HD 8 (2015) Tablet Review | Notebookcheck
A flash in the pan. Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet features an HD screen and the brand new Fire OS 5 Bellini operating system with the familiar software restrictions. The starting price is 160 Euros (~$175) – if the user can live with adware. In this review read why the spark does not kindle a blazing fire.

Poor performance and sub-par screen resolutions leave you questioning the purpose of these affordable tablets.

It doesn’t cost that much and has an 8in screen, which is pretty much the perfect size for a tablet: big enough to dwarf your phone, not so big that you look like a kid playing with an Early Learning Centre toy. A £129 ticket price is sure to get a few people interested, too. However, it’s still not a great choice unless you’re yet to lay eyes on a single ‘good’ tablet.

80% Amazon Fire

Amazon really has the market cornered on low-cost tablets. At this price point, there is simply no other competition from a big-name manufacturer. Sure, you can find plenty of third-party bargain bin options while shopping around on, well, Amazon, but I wouldn't count on a reliable hardware or software experience, let alone access to an advanced tech support network. The Fire HD 8 gets you a modest upgrade in terms of screen size, resolution, camera, and processing power, but it costs three times as much as the Fire.

Mid-spec Nokia Lumi... er, MediaTek slab
Source: Reg Hardware English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
After the disaster that was the Fire Phone, it seems the coin has dropped at Amazon. Fire tablets are not, and never will be, direct competition for devices running Android and iOS. Rather they should be cost-effective machines designed primarily to access your Amazon content and for general media consumption. Everything else people are doing on their Android or iPhone mobiles and that’s a party Amazon is never going to gatecrash. Looked at in that light, the HD 8 makes some sense though I’d be happier if £130 got you the 16GB advert-free version.

70% Amazon Fire HD 8 review
Source: Trusted Reviews English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The Amazon Fire HD 8 is a "family" tablet. That’s a double-edged term, and one that naturally limits expectations about how high-end any part of it will be. Sure enough, the Amazon Fire HD 8 has a fairly low-res screen – and although slim, its build quality is unlikely to impress. It isn't the zippiest tablet either. However, fairly good battery life and its above-average speakers add a likeable edge to a tablet that might otherwise be easy to dismiss.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Review: Hands-on
Source: Recombu English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The low price tag sounds appealing and whilst initial experiences offered up respectable performance, in the long-run it might not be the most logical purchase in the tablet space as the internal hardware will likely age quickly. We’ll have a better idea of whether that’s the case come the full review. Stay tuned.

At the second annual MediaTek Executive forum in London MediaTek gathered journalists and analysts to show them more about the direction their business is going. As part of the event's program we were lucky to get our hands on several products running MediaTek's chipsets.

Amazon Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 hands-on: Superslim entertainment slates for the whole family
Source: Pocket Lint English EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Both Fire HD tablet is just 7.7mm thick and the HD 10 will be available with a black or white body. The HD 8 will be available in four colours: tangerine, magenta, blue and black. You will also be able to get a keyboard case for the HD 10 that offers a full-size keyboard and trackpad, much like a laptop. It connects through Bluetooth, but will still last for up to four months on a single charge.

这个屏幕尺寸介于智能手机和平板的边缘。大部分平板电脑都采用更大尺寸的屏幕,不过也有一些智能手机提供了这样大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
