Personally, I quite like the new, squatter version with its more rounded corners - but, of course, the change in shape means that the 10th generation Fire HD 8 will probably not fit any covers you may already have.Īs I mention later in this article, various buttons and the camera are in different places too, so unfortunately a new cover is a must. The 10th generation Fire HD 8 measures 7.95 x 5.39 x 0.38 inches and weighs 12.52 oz, whereas the 8th generation Fire measures 8.43 x 5.04 x 0.38 inches and weighs 13.02 oz.

The 2020 version of the Fire HD 8 comes with 2 GB of RAM, compared with the 1.5 GB of RAM we saw with the previous model. With the latest tablets, you add up to 1TB of storage this way.Ĭlick here to learn more about using a microSD card with your Fire - but do remember that there are certain limitations with SD cards and I always recommend buying the Fire tablet with the largest possible amount of built in storage you can afford. But that larger capacity is certainly a handy option if you need more space for downloads (for example, if you have limited access to wi-fi and streaming isn't an option).Īs with previous versions, you still have the option to increase your Fire's storage with a microSD card. Personally, I find 32 GB to be more than enough for my needs, especially since I stream more content than I download. At the time of writing, this is available for an extra $30. And - for the first time - there is a 64 GB option. ![]() The base storage on the new Fire HD 8 has doubled from 16 GB to 32 GB. Here's where we see the first of the big improvements over its predecessor.
