One of the most anticipated renewals of the catalog of Amazon devices is undoubtedly the renewal of the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, a device with a size more than sufficient for daily use, as it offers a large enough screen (eight inches). many common activities and is small enough in size and weight that you can carry it “from here to there” throughout the day without it being uncomfortable or heavy. It’s true that all sizes have use cases, but personally the eight-inch has always struck me as a relatively virtuous segment.

That’s why I find it so interesting that Amazon has already pre-ordered the 2022 model of its proposal for this market, the Amazon Fire HD 8, which will go on sale on October 19, 2022. And the truth is that it expects some interesting improvements over the current model, the 2020 modelSo at least looking at the specs it already points to a highly recommended purchase.

The first thing we will see on this Amazon Fire HD 8 is its 8-inch IPS touch screen with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels and with a density of 189 dots per inch.

The first novelty when looking inside is found in SoC, as integrated six-core 2 gigahertz, compared to the current model, which has four cores. It is accompanied 2 gigabytes of RAM and there is nothing new about it, it is offered in configurations with 32 and 64 gigabytes of storage, an amount that can be increased with a MicroSD card up to one terabyte.

As for its connectivity, we can find it in the wireless section WiFi a/b/g/n/ac AND Bluetooth 5.2, which are complemented by an audio minijack connector, a memory card slot and a USB port for data and charging. In this last regard, Amazon does not state the battery capacity of the Amazon Fire HD 8, but offers a autonomy up to 13 hours (an hour longer than the 2020 version) for reading, browsing the web, watching videos and listening to music, and fully charges in less than 5 hours using the included USB-C cable and 5W power adapter with the tablet. It also offers faster charging options with additional chargers, 3 hours with a 9W adapter and less than 2.5 hours with a 15W adapter and USB-C to USB-C cable.
