I was looking to replace a 7" tablet. I love the portability. This Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus tablet was such a good deal that I couldn't resist. The plus version gives you faster charging and slightly better performance. Surprisingly, it is still portable enough for my use. In fact, it feels a lot better in my hands to use in comparison to the 7" or 10" and larger tablets that I own. I bought it to use only a few specific apps. But I find myself reaching for it more often than my other tablets to read, for emails, browse internet, social media and games. It's just the perfect size for me. It has 32GB of storage, which is enough for me. The tablet charges very quickly and the battery lasts a couple of days. The screen is pretty bright, touchscreen works well. The cameras are decent, it would have been nice if the front camera was 1080p like the rear one. Since most people don't take pictures with tablets but may use them for video calls. The volume is sufficiently loud for watching videos and listening to music. It has a headphone jack. Beware, the cheaper version has ads on the lock screen. You can pay $15 more for an ad free device. . You are limited to the Fire OS, so make sure your apps are available in the Amazon app store. There are work arounds, if you know, you know. Of course, being an amazon prime member makes these devices even more useful. Overall, I think this is a great tablet, if it is not your only device.
