I only managed 10 or so hours while streaming video, but that's still very good. One of the highlights of the Fire HD 8 is the impressive battery life. You can expand that storage capacity up to 1 TB using the microSD card slot. The Fire HD 8 is available with either 32 GB or 64 GB of storage-the more the better, if you can afford it. Pixelation is still painfully visible in text, but no worse than any other tablet at this price. It's the sort of thing that would send David Lynch into fits, but it works well enough if you don't care that much about deep rich colors and solid blacks. That Amazon content lands on an 8-inch, 1280 x 800 pixel display, which is … not great. Again though, it's fast enough to do what it's designed to do, which is deliver Amazon content. It gets the job done, but put it up against just about any other Android tablet on the market and it's going to lose. Considered on its own, let's charitably say that this is not a speedy tablet. In my experience using them side by side for tasks like browsing the web or playing video, you won't notice a huge difference. Amazon claims the new Fire HD 8 is 30 percent faster. The 2.0 GHz hexa-core processor is new, and in my testing was marginally faster than the previous version. I suggest wrapping your Fire HD 8 in a cover of some sort. That said, I don't recommend testing this feature yourself. I've dropped my old Fire HD 8 from about waist height (I'm around 6 feet tall) on a hardwood floor several times without doing any damage. Like the previous model, the all-plastic construction is surprisingly sturdy. The 2022 version looks identical to the previous model, but is a little thinner and lighter. Amazon has not messed much with the design of the Fire HD 8.
