Slim, light and durable, the Amazon Fire HD 8 packs a fast quad-core processor, dual cameras and a beautiful 8-inch HD screen that makes it ideal for entertainment on the go. With stereo speakers and a full host of features, including a massive selection of digital content, apps and games, individual profiles for the entire family and everything you need to stay connected and work on the go.

Quad-core processing
Fire HD 8 is packed full of features that make it the ideal tablet to enjoy entertainment on while you travel. A powerful quad-core processor features two 1.5GHz cores and two 1.2GHz cores that run simultaneously to give a brilliant balance between performance and power consumption. The processor ensures faster app loading, smoother and richer graphics and better overall performance.

HD display
The 8-inch HD display packs in over a million pixels and an improved colour gamut for more vibrant, true-to-life colours, a brighter display and whiter whites, as well as IPS technology and an advanced polarising filter to help you see from even the widest of viewing angles.

Dolby Audio
Fire HD also packs dual stereo speakers with Dolby Audio technology to deliver louder, clear audio and an emulated 5.1 multi-channel sound field to create virtual surround sound and make dialogue in films and TV shows easier to understand.

Expandable storage
Fire HD 8 comes with 16GB of storage space for your apps and games. A microSD card slot means you can increase this space by up to 128GB, making it possible to keep all of your music, photos and movies with you too. Plus all of your Amazon content is automatically stored in the cloud for you to download whenever you need it.

Go wherever the day takes you
With a battery life of up to 8 hours and a durable design, Amazon Fire HD 8 is ready to travel with you all day and survive everyday bangs or scrapes.

Dual cameras
Make Skype calls using the front-facing VGA camera, or take photos and record HD videos to share with friends using the rear facing camera.

Fire OS 5 Bellini
Amazon Fires run on Amazon's exclusive 'Fire' operating system. Fire OS uses Google Android and customises it to give you the fastest access to your favourite apps and Amazon services. It includes unlimited Cloud storage for Amazon content and photos taken on your Fire, the latest productivity apps and enhanced platform integrations so you can seamlessly access over 33 million movies, TV shows, songs, books and Android apps and games.
