Amazon’s New Fire HD 8 Tablet (2024)

Amazon is back with a new Fire HD 8 tablet (2024), just in time for the Prime Big Deal Days event. Starting today, the latest Fire HD 8 offers enhanced performance and a suite of generative AI-powered tools that bring creativity and productivity to the forefront. To take benefit of the festive season to boost sales, there is a discount of to 50% off through October 9.

What’s New on Fire HD 8 (2024)

Amazon has given its Fire HD 8 lineup a significant upgrade for 2024. The new model now packs 3GB of RAM, up from the previous 2GB, meaning users can expect a more fluid experience while streaming, gaming, browsing, or working with photos and videos. This boost in performance ensures a snappier response, especially with entertainment apps like Prime Video, Kindle, and Audible.

Beyond the performance boost, the Fire HD 8 gets an upgraded 5-megapixel rear camera, up from 2MP. The improved camera allows users to capture higher-quality photos and videos, enhancing the versatility of this affordable device. With a vibrant 8-inch HD display made from strengthened aluminosilicate glass, the Fire HD 8 is also durable and ideal for on-the-go entertainment. Plus, a long-lasting battery with up to 13 hours of life means you can binge-watch shows or play games without constantly worrying about recharging.

Customers can choose between 32GB or 64GB storage options, and they can expand it up to 1TB with a microSD card – offering plenty of space for apps, media, and games.

AI-Powered Features on Fire HD 8

In a move that keeps pace with the tech world’s AI trend, Amazon has integrated new generative AI features that can transform how users interact with their Fire tablets:

Writing Assist: Similar to iPhone’s Writing Tool and Samsung’s Writing Assist, this tool can also help you rewrite messages, emails, or documents with the on-device keyboard, making your writing more polished with a few taps. It’s compatible across apps like social media, email, and even word processing, offering everything from grammar suggestions to complete rewrites in different styles. Want to add some flair? You can even “emojify” your writing.

Webpage Summaries: Available on Amazon’s Silk browser, this feature provides concise summaries of web articles, saving you from scrolling through endless pages of text to get the main points. It’s a great addition for users who need to gather information quickly. In case you don’t know you can also do the same on your Samsung Galaxy and iPhone devices.

Wallpaper Creator: You can unleash your creativity on your tablet’s home screen. Simply type in a prompt like “a watercolor of a desert landscape in space” and Wallpaper Creator will generate a high-resolution, unique background that reflects your vision. We first saw this feature on a Samsung Galaxy phone running OneUI 6.1, and the results were amazing. Hopefully, once we get hands-on with the Fire HD 8 (2024), it will be equally impressive.

These AI features will also be rolled out to other compatible Fire tablets, including the Fire HD 10 and Fire Max 11, later this month, expanding their reach beyond just the new Fire HD 8.
