Design and Build
The Amazon Fire HD 8 presents a solid yet simple design, measuring 214 x 128 x 7.7 mm and weighing in at 311 grams. The tablet is relatively lightweight, making it comfortable to handle for extended periods. Despite its low price point, Amazon managed to offer the device in several vibrant colors, including Black, Magenta, Blue, and Tangerine, adding a playful element to its aesthetic appeal. The absence of cellular connectivity steers the device's function towards use primarily within Wi-Fi networks. It has no SIM card slot, aligning with the expectation that users will rely on Wi-Fi for internet connectivity.
