Performance and Software
Under the hood, the tablet is powered by a Mediatek MT8169A chipset, paired with a hexa-core CPU (6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55) and a Mali-G52 2EE MC2 GPU. This setup is sufficient for basic multitasking and playing less demanding applications, but it might struggle with more intensive tasks or gaming. The Fire HD 8 Plus operates on Android 11 with Fire OS 8, Amazon’s custom interface designed to integrate seamlessly with its ecosystem. Although the interface can feel somewhat limited compared to stock Android, it does present optimizations for quick access to Amazon services, such as Alexa, Kindle, Prime Video, and more.
