In this video, we take a look at the all-new Amazon 2020 Fire HD 8 Plus Tablet.
With a quad Core 2.0Ghz CPU and 3Gb of ram, this is looking like the most powerful 8 Inch tablet Amazon has ever released.
In this video I go over the specs run some Benchmarks like 3Dmark and Antutu test out some native android games like Pubg Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile and Minecraft and by the end, I test out some of my favorite emulators like Redream for Dreamcast, PPSSPP for PSP and Mupen64 Plus FZ for N64.

Love the video, thanks for sharing. Just waiting for Fire HD Plus to get back in stock and I'll be buying one!
"I heard you guys like bezels" Made me look at my MacBook Air.
Same way I looked at my gaming laptop. Bezels for days!
always look forward to your table reviews
Great review- I just picked one of these HD8 Plus up after trading in a couple '16 HD8 models (that were still being updated) and 2 '14 Samsung tablets that stopped receiving updates in '16. Overall I received $60 trade in credit and then Amazon took the 20% off they give you if you buy a new device. The HD 8 Plus is currently 89.99 so I received my new tablet for less than $15 dollars total and find it exceptional for what I use a tablet for (Reading, movies, browsing, news and light gaming). I downloaded the Google Play Store in four simple steps in less than 5 minutes (Google Android Police article for adding Google Play Store to Amazon Fire Tablets) and added my T-Mobile DIGITS and have everything I need. (like a 8 in phone/tablet around the house) What is better on the 8 in tablets vs. my HD10 (also very good) is the apps and how they render. On the HD8 Plus they are better. Last item to note I GREATLY appreciate the polycarbonate shell on these devices and the newer form factor of the '20 HD8 Plus vs. prior HD8 models. It's more like a iPad Mini now with relation to width to height and the camera is now perfectly placed for Zoom, video calls and or chats. If you are a Prime member, as I am, these truly are hard to beat performance to cost ratio.
I actually like bezels on tablets. Makes it easier to hold them without touching the screen all the time, which is super annoying, when you watch something on it.
I would gladly take a large bezel over a hole punch or notch cutting into my screen.
@@onldhes nahh bezels are so outdated now
Leo K That’s why I like the normal ipads over the newer ipad pros even though the difference between the specs is so large
They are outdated that's why the iPad pro doesn't have big bezzels
Yeah bezels aren't bad
This is my most favorite Fire Tablet I love the wireless charging feature. I got the Mickey Mouse case to go along with it and it's really cool.
Pretty impressive tablet that could handle 75% of the games and emulation you throw at it! Its great to see cheaper tech out there now that can slowly start to handle these games in the future =)
kudos to your sound recording, really sounds like im in front of a tablet hahaha
As always love your Tablet and Emu
Thank you for these videos!!!
I'd give up wireless charging for a 1080p panel.
Just a smaller edition of the 10 inch with 3gb ram...would be perfect
Yeah, I feel like wireless charging is a bit of a novelty at this point, especially regarding this device. Being as it's purpose to meant to be a budget e-reader, portable gaming unit and general purpose tablet, viewing comfort should be a bigger priority.
I would love to have the same processor in the 10 inch version, maybe a 4 GB. Then I'd ditch my laptop... or maybe not, I love my linux distro.
And vanilla Android
Who the hell does care about wireless charging on such devices? It's like they have tiny batteries but they don't, plus it would be awkward to use such charging mainly due to how big it is. Where is this world going... Fml...
perhaps some walk-throughs on how you got these emulators running? I've never had good luck lol
It was really tough between this and the HD10. I ended up going with the HD10 because I already have a smartphone so I wanted something bigger and with the better processor and full HD display. I just hope it's not too much of a slug with the 2gb of ram. Comes in tomorrow can't wait!
When are you doing a review and emulation test on nvidia xavier eta prime and awesome video thanks
That's what I've been waiting on too!
I wasn’t sure about this device as a little secondary tablet to not worry about when I don’t want to take my iPad, but at $50 on a MAJOR sale one day, I couldn’t be happier! Great review!
Watching on fire hd 8 (2017) still flawless💖✨
And also I get every single update..
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
that taxi driver one was amazing remember playing it back in the old days did have friend did have the dreamcast did manage to conver him to n64 whit golden eye :P
I managed to snatch one of this on sale for 79.99$ without the specials offers. I would've preferred getting the Fire HD10 for 100$ but I feel I still got a pretty good deal since I was looking for a cheap tablet that had an 8 inch screen. Thank you so much for your vids. I've been watching your videos all day since they're so informative.
I just bought the HD 8 Plus for $60. Do you still have it? How is it treating you??
@@horrorfilmscholar I still have it. Its perfect for watching movies, netflix, etc. It can handle games decently enough (not a gaming tablet at all, but it works). I had to do a work around to get android games on it since it doesnt have the Android play store.
Charges kinda fast i bought a 10$ qi wireless charger and they work fine. No need to get the official qi charger, its bulky af and overpriced.
love its size & weight, plus the wireless charging makes it rather convenient. for 60$ its a must keep. Just hope u know how to get good games onto it. :3
@@lovesicsycopath666 Thanks Sydney, Ha! I'll probably downlaod RAID Shadow Legends on it >) What is the brand of the wireless charger? If you don't mind me asking. $60 for sure it is lol I got it because I need to do school work on it and read and I don't want to use my Macbook Pro for that anymore, I am trying to keep my mac strictly for work. Have you used zoom on it by any chance?
To expand on the wireless chargers they all work the same way. As long as it's a good brand it'll work with any device. Just try to get one with the same watts or volts appropriate for the device. For the Amazon hd tablet 8 plus, the original charger from Amazon is rated at 10w (10 watts or wattage).
@@lovesicsycopath666 Awesome, sounds good. Thanks Syd 😁✌🏾
Thanks for the great review it was really informative and helped a lot. I'm looking to play a game called mobile-legends-bang-bang from the Google Play Store on my new tablet but I'm wondering if the HD 8 plus would be okay for a or if there's another tablet in the size range that would be good for it too. I found out the 10in tablets are a bit too awkward for my hands to grab for this sort of game but 8-inch tablet seem like they would be just fine. Just wondering if there's a better option out there in the price range or if this would be the one.
Love this review
Amazing how much faster these tablets run without all that bloatware on them.
doesn't every is run faster without them?
Hi ETA. I have been looking into the Lenovo Chromebook Duet and think its a brilliant little good value device. Any chance you had your eye on it and will be looking into it?
Hey prime, I was very impressed with the pi 4 vid you made and was wondering if you knew of any way I could get a handheld case for the pi 4. I would really like to play GameCube games at full speed if possible. I did find a case for the Pi 3, it’s called the Gameberry and I think the company is Lakka. If you could pick one up and test it out with the pi 4 that would be absolutely amazing!
Looking for a last time Xmas gift for my son. Very informative video. I will definitely go with this device as it will be an entry level tablet for him.
I just got mine 2_days ago and I'm very happy with it tbh. It met all my needs mostly for web shopping and surfing and it was well worth the $77.00 I paid plus it lasts a long time battery wise!
I got the Fire HD 8 10th gen Standard Model with 2gb Ram instead of the 3gb model it was on sale for something like $45 ish. It is a really good budget tablet, does what I need it for, and plays the games I like easily.
You made me decided to buy kindle fire hd 8 plus Thank You.
Great video and test. I'm personally still stuck setting up the Pi4 with the Retropie 4.6 image. Im using the argonone case, can you tell me how to activate the fan and overclock it? share some info on that specifically?
I just ordered one to play my tcg in bed lol, tysm for your video it was really helpful :)
Looking for a great emulation tablet at a decent price, Still unsure whether I'd wanna get even the Fire 10... Any better suggestions that don't break the bank?
I have been waiting for this review..... nicely done..... looks like the 10 inch is still superior...... oh well..... 10 inch tablet it is
Hi ETA!! i want to know if this tablet can handle PS1 and SNES games, thanx a Lot for your amazing Reviews!!!
Which controller did you use for this video? Xbox One Controller doesn't seem to work right regarding PPSSPP and RetroArch inputs.
“Hey, I heard you guys like bezels?” I’m gonna use that at parties
When the bezel keeps the coke on the glass tray I love them.
No i don't
Player Name is a solid character.
I ordered this. Got a sweet deal on it. Plus the wireless charger was free. Using it mainly for reading Kindle books
Nice I picked one up for my girl just for the kindle book part
Hey eta prime, I really like your videos, but can you do some more follow up lattepanda delta/alpha videos please 🙏
Cheers from Brazil!
What controller are you using to play the emulator games?
How would you compare this to the Onn 10.1" you recently reviewed?
What controller did you use? I couldn't get one to work with my 2019 HD8.
Nice review, I don't using tab.. I will consider with this tab.
Great initial review. Are you going to test out the lenovo M8 tab ZA5F0023US, has similar specs, 2.3 ghz processor and 3gb ram, cost 139.99 on their website.
They look sick. Would like to pick one up and buy a Nintendo switch making a great learning combo.
What do you mean "learning combo"
Always Bolt the Bird I mean like for a kid he could do online learning on the Fire HD 8 and play games on the Nintendo Switch.
@@dess.3761 ahh ok thanks. I was legitimately confuse
@@AlwaysBolttheBird great name btw
I'm interested how much amazon would charge if they decided to use the deminsity 820..would be an interesting device
Great review, as always! I'd really like to try one of Amazon's paper-white Kindle readers, because the display is supposed to just look like regular paper. The problem with reading books on a tablet like an iPad is the amount of blue light that you're getting that can interfere with sleep-at least it has with me.
Nice getting it.
waiting to see if they come out with a fire hd10 plus
Can you do a guide for RetroArch or Emulationstation on the RG350?
I noticed you had Real Racing 3 installed as well - was it playable? I have the previous gen of this tablet, and although it would install RR3, it couldn't actually run it (or a lot of other games).
A different level in 007, cool.
It's nice that they included a screen in that bezel!
Bezels are important! Where else are you going to put your greasy fingers?
@@lionsandmoon they are outdated and companies like apple and Samsung are soon going to stop using small bezels just look at the iPad Pro
@@emptyunicorn384 this ain't apple or Samsung... rich people don't use tablets as a media consumption tool
Super cool man love ya
Hello! Thanks for your making movie! But, can you tell me: how many nits (brightness LCD display) in this product???
Have you done the top end Huawei tablets? Matepad pro and mediapad m6 turbo? You can install Google services no issues.
Hi..can you recommend a good 8inch tablet?
I think tablets are finally at a price and performance level where ill buy one. Thanks for this one.
I recommend the cheaper iPad. You get crazy performance for price with it.
I recommend it even for android users.
@@techman5852 It's true is more powerful and you have to slash 4x more money to get one. Most users need something simple, something more budget friendly. Being a long time an amazon prime user, it does make more sense spending $129(64Gb version) than $429(32Gb+WIFI).
@@techman5852 I am an android user, can confirm the cheapest ipad is the best tablet I've ever owned
They have been for while i bought the fire 7 (not HD anything) but works pretty good for 50 usd you use youtube,netflix or other media services does not get slow or anything very decent for the price
@@techman5852 I'm looking for a budget tablet, I was thinking to buy Samsung a 8 WiFi version but at about same price this is best... Chinese brands are killing the market with upcoming tablets with high end processors at budget prices don't understand why these companies are selling with such old outdated processors.. really piss me off
BT 5.0 should play nice with the new Bluetooth 5.0 powered Mpow Flame V5.0 IPX7 entry level, sub $20 Bluetooth headphones. Or with the Flame S, also Bluetooth 5.0 but also aptX HD for better sound quality. With BT 5.0 on both tablet and earphones, the tablet should display remaining battery in the earphones.
It's great I just got hd 8 2 gb yes day I am watch this video on tablet now
When are you going to do a CoinOps review?
Just a Diddy Kong Racing tip “if you let go of the gas before you hit a boost you will boost further and faster!” Watch for green flames instead of purple to know you did it correctly!
10:06 great review!!! Question, though. I play Farmville3. I need to know if I could pinch to zoom in/out on this device. Any idea? IPad and Samsung Tab A7 doesn't allow zoom in/out but my Samsung Android phone does.
I am a fan of 8 inch tablets and I was trying to decide between HD8 plus and lenovo m8 FHD. I went with the Lenovo because form factor was smaller, screen was 1080, same Ram, octacore processor and run GP store natively. Now I think i made a mistake
Did they tweak the brightness setting at least? Old 8 inch was dim...even maxed out.
How is the video calling on this tablet? more specific can the other person see your face on screen or is it dark and invisible? how does video calling compare to Samsung tab a or an ipad 10.2?
Looks like a good replacement for Nvidia Shield tablet k1. Surprised it lasted THIS long.
Hey. I have the hd 8 2020 tablet and want to use it with a hdmi capture card. Did you test it or can you test it someday? I already ordered a usb c otg adapter and I'm waiting for it to arrive 😄
Not familiar with this so I’m sorry if this is a very basic question-
Where do you get these video game emulators and games?
I noticed the HD 10 only has 2 gb or ram though, does it make a big difference?
awesome comprehensive review. you know exactly what the audience wants looking for these
I wonder if/when the 2020 fire hd 10 plus is coming out? It's gotta be soon right?
I have the Fire tablet 8th generations and it was cheap. It only cost me $60 us dollars and it comes with 1.5gb ram. The tablet has been handling most of the tasks well. I can install Google play store to allow me to install some Android apps. I am able to edit some light 1080p video with this tablet. I won't be upgrading to the new version of tablet anytime soon.
If you overclock the cpu you can squeeze more performance out of it and the hd8 can handle the extra heat 🙂
Do you like this one or the Lenovo m8 FHD more?
Can you throw some Citra on those tests from now on or can you get in trouble for that?
Since the 8 has usb-c, can you use it with an hdmi to usb-c cable to make it a monitor for an hdmi device?
What kind of controllers are you using for emulation? HD10 2019 seems like the way to go still
@Lenny Face 👍
What controller was being used for emulation?
Would be nice if you had linked to the review video for the hd10
Will you be reviewing the 2022 model?
so is it possible to watch disney plus with fire hd 10？
basic diffence between 8plus and 10 is sizing and wait?
what else?
Two minutes in, and you answered my question... Media Teck!! Won't pair with my Ipega Controller for tablets. I've got the previous generation HD8, and it's got the same problem. The tablet is awesome, but I had to get a big cellphone for gaming. The back of the tablet overheats on certain games like Rick and Morty as well.
I have tested a bunch of controllers on the 2020 Fire 8. I have been able to get bluetooth controllers including the PS4 controller to pair but have no luck using them. The Fire 7 allows this pairing and works. On the Fire 8, I have had success using a wired controller using a USB C to USB A adapter. So, gameplay is possible but so far, no luck with PS4 wireless despite it working on the Fire 7.
Looking for a cheap tablet that can run Microsoft excel, word, and PowerPoint smoothly.
Can this do the job? Or will it lag?
In confused can you use this tablet 2020 64 GB on Verizon hotspot network? And if not for some reason what network do you use it on?
I just ordered (not received yet) to use this primarily for Kindle book reading
Whatever happened to Amazon's HDX line of Kindle Fire tablets that were more high end?
Would this be good for a University Student? I'm looking for something I can download some books, slides and PDFs so I don't have to carry my laptop all the time? As well as some media consumption on my free time.
Can you make a video about windows emulation pc thats 4gb ram and 64 gb rom I was thinking of buying one but wasnt sure if its going to work like I want.
Hello enjoyed your tb
Can it run LoL chess (TFT)?
i'm gonna wait until amazon fire hd 10 has 3 gb ram or 4 gb ram to trade in my 7th gen fire hd 10
With an overly-skinned Android and a closed platform (Amazon/Fire OS) w/ no Google Play is this a good tablet for emulator games compared to some budget Samsung/Huawei/Lenovo tabs?
Not bad. I'm still happy with the 2019 10 model.
Have you noticed any issues with native CZcams on your hd 10? I get a huge blank spot, when expanding the area to read others comments
Awesome tablet
Ahh the good ol disposable tablet. Works great for 6 months or less
IDK I used my HD 5th generation for almost 6 years. The display has an annoying white spot and it's annoyingly pixelated, but it still runs fine idk. I swapped it for an HD8+ this week, super happy with it, especially now that I have Google Play Store on it.
These tablets look a bit glitchy at times. Is that normal until proper cache is loaded,or something else?
I may be in the low 1% bracket using these devises for reading books - but I do have questions. I'm a Nook user. But B&N is moving away from color, and their latest tablet is way too big and heavy; so now I'm looking at the Kindle. (Business decision have consequences) So.. because I only want to use this for reading; the app icons on the desktop. Can they be deleted, leaving only an app / icon to buy books, from any on-line book seller, and an app / icon to browse your library, and of course an icon to continue reading the current book? AND BIG question: Is it possible to download Nook books into the Kindle?
nice i too bought it
I don't understand the alternating openings.. I think the original logo used elusively is much better for branding.
Is there gps in the new fire tablets? Can you add a gps antenna and an app for the fire tablets ?
You've reviewed the 8 plus and the 2019 10 edition. Which is better for gaming?
He said the HD 10 2019
