In addition to those 10 apps, I pulled up a few more apps, such as Amazon Shopping and Newsstand, and the load time was only negligibly longer than usual. Except for taking a split second to load, I didn’t experience a system slowdown. I then opened the Silk browser and launched 11 tabs, including a 1080p YouTube video. The 2018 model was already a five-star product, so Amazon's decision to boost performance, extend the battery life and add USB-C charging for 2020 was always going to lead to another recommendation.I tested the Fire HD 8’s multitasking muscle by running 10 apps in the background. Once again, Amazon has cooked up a fantastically priced tablet with its newest Fire HD 8. You can ask Alexa to tell you the weather, show sports fixtures or play the latest TV show on Amazon Prime Video, for instance. This allows you to bark your orders at Amazon’s digital assistant without pressing any buttons, and it functions just the same as on Amazon’s Echo devices. The Fire HD 8 also includes hands-free Alexa. Although most popular apps can be found, such as Facebook, Netflix, BBC iPlayer and Disney Plus, many games available on the Apple App Store and Google Play are missing in action. As an example, we typically use the Geekbench 5 app for performance testing of various devices, but Amazon’s store only contains the much older Geekbench 3 benchmark. The amount of applications on the Amazon Appstore continues to be rather limited, though.
Your Kindle library, Prime Video content, Amazon Music tracks and more can be accessed with simple swipes left and right of the homescreen, as well as a list of your downloaded apps.
If you’ve used a Fire tablet previously, then the experience remains largely the same.
