We use our Fire tablets for music and reading our Kindle books, as well as watching our streaming services.
We have had two HDX 7" the 10" Fire full HD three versions ago, an 8" HD when they first came out after the 8.9 HDX was discontinued, I still have two Fire HDX 8.9" 4th gen, one 2020 10th gen Fire HD 8 Plus tablet, and this newest version.
The 2022 Fire HD 8 Plus tablet is noticeably faster than the 2020. The battery life is unbelievable. I use them for music in the bathrooms and reading my Kindle books there too. We connect them via Bluetooth to Bose Soundlink mini and Bose Flex BT speakers and the sound is amazing. These are great audio/video streaming devices with all the advantages.
I admit the 720p screen is visually very good but I do wish they would come out with a full HD 1080 or better Fire HD 8 plus. I took one star off the screen quality just for that. We know they can because the 10" Fire tablet is full 1080 p 1920X1200.
Pros:
Display looks good, actually faster, very durable, easy BT and WiFi connectivity, back camera is now an acceptable 5MP instead of 2MP like previous versions, the USB C on it is the standard too.
Cons:
No WiFi 6, display is not full HD, no heavy duty magnetic Origami cases available like the HDX tablets had the cross fold cases are not as stable in portrait and landscape, only 3GB of RAM.
Because iOS is always under attack as is Android there is a bit better security with the Amazon version of Android. However, not enough to offset the advantages of the Play Store and all those Apps. Google has the Pixel phones which I have and they are great, Amazon gave up on their phones just like Google gave up on their tablets.
If all 8" and 10" Fire tablets were both made with full HD, minimum 4GB RAM, Octacore processors, WiFi 6, I believe with the economy of scale they could sell the 8" for less than $150.00 and sell the heck out of them. The iPad crowd would switch if you made them able to access the Google play store and make them for Google to sell under the pixel name and play nice.
Amazon could leave the Fire 7 tablets as they are specs price wise for those on a severe budget and for the kiddos.
C'mon Amazon! Like the Fire TVs Fire tablets could do all the Google stuff and the Amazon stuff too. They have phones and you have tablets! Let's kick Apple and Samsung's butts. I have my two HD 8+ and two 8.9" Fire tablets but no 10" in addition to our 13" Surface Pro 7, Surface Pro 7+ and our two 10" Surface Go 2 with the m3 faster processor/1920×1280 display, 8GB RAM and LTE. No not rich we bought only the Surface Pro 7 and the two Fire HD8+ tablets new. The rest we got used like new at steal prices.
