Announcement. Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet Family Update

Once every one and a half to two years, Amazon updates itstablets. Today, the turn has reached eight inches. Get to know each other. Amazon Fire HD 8 2020. Its “child species” is Amazon Fire HD 8 2020 Kids Edition. And its slightly more advanced version of Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus 2020.

Tablets are very close in their characteristics. Very budget friendly. But, by today's standards, they are extremely weak. Plus, don't forget that Amazon has its own ecosystem. Those. Yes, somewhere in the depths of each tablet lies the Android kernel (AOSP). But Google services are not there. And that which is is not too sharpened for use in our Palestinians. So the interest in these devices is mostly academic in nature. Moreover, there is no direct delivery from the Amazon store for these devices to Russia.

Unfortunately, Amazon is traditionally not very fond ofDisclose the complete TTX of their devices. As usual, nothing is said about the battery capacity. It is very likely that the tablets lack a GPS module. The brand of the processor is also not indicated. But there are clues. Four cores, 2 GHz, “30% faster.” In the previous generation of HD8, there were MediaTek MT8163 chips, gaining a little less than forty thousand parrots in AnTuTu. Rummaged in our plate with chipsets. It seems that only MediaTek Helio A22 is suitable for these numbers. The chipset, by today's standards, is terribly weak. But at least not quite ancient. And the video with simple toys will quite pull.

Amazon Fire HD 8 2020, the base model. An eight-inch HD screen, 2 gigabytes of RAM, 32 or 64 GB of flash memory with expandability. Battery “12 hours”. Nothing is said about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but most likely Wi-Fi is dual-band, but there is still Bluetooth. The 2 MP front camera for video calls is even more or less meaningful. The main camera of the same low resolution is, rather, for show. As a sophisticated mockery, an unlimited space in the storage cloud for photos taken by the tablet is offered. Several body colors - white, black, blue, “plum” (plum). From $ 89.99 (₽6620) at the start of sales.
