One of my concerns with the HD 8 was the display. Fortunately large things, like music and video, can be stored on the external SSD card. Because of this I got the 16GB model instead of the 8GB model. So the internal storage is always used for some stuff.

This lets you store movies, TV shows, music, photos, videos and some (“supported”) apps to the SD card. For other stuff you control use of the external SD card in Settings under Storage.According to Amazon: audio books, books, Silk Browser downloads, email, and some apps must be stored on the internal storage. Not everything can be stored on the add-on SD card.But there is some confusion as to how this add-on storage is used.

One fantastic thing about the Fire is that it accepts micro SD memory cards, so it’s cheap to upgrade from 16GB to 80GB. Also, Apple devices are known for good quality cameras, so while the specs here are similar, one has to assume the Apple cameras would out-perform the Fire’s - something I believe is true based on informal comparisons. So the Fire holds its own against the current Mini’s on most specs, except for the screen (and it soundly trounces the old iPad 1). Let’s see how this device compares to my old iPad 1, and the current iPad Minis. Yes, those are better tablets - but that much better? Specifications I chose not to buy a case for it, since who wants to spend $40-$50 on a case for a $150 device? ( I will be keeping an eye out on refurbished cases).īy comparison a 64GB iPad mini4 is $499. So I got an 80GB, 8″ tablet with sleeve for $179.77 ($198.49 after tax delivered to my door).


Update: This review is for the original Fire HD 8, not the updated model that was just introduced in Sept 2016.
