I've just purchased the 32gb one black Friday deal from littlewoods catalogue £63 was £129 my old tablet amazon 5th gen dates back to September 2015 will 10yrs next yr it's very slow, still in good working order though
I do not want chargers in my devices. When companies used to include chargers they were very low wattage to save money. I would rather use one of my expensive high wattage chargers instead. It would be better it they included a USB C to USB C cable. I would prefer the £250 top of the range Fire Tablet which costs £250 but is always reduced to £150 on Black Friday or Prime day.
@@ZaffsProductions I agree, what makes it worse is the fact that after maybe a year or two they become complete e-waste. Bought and hd 10 and now it’s literally unusable, press a button and wait 3 seconds for a response type of unusable.
@@fredrickbambino like, i'm really not sure what you mean. I get that these tablets are slow and you shouldn't expect playing genshin impact, but I own an HD 10 back from 2017 and it's fine for messengers, and video playback (twitch/youtube). I also have an HD 8 (2016) - and it does what you say, because there's not enough RAM, storage and it has only quad-core CPU. literally e-waste in 2024.
I have a fire hd 8 from 2020 the 10th gen I only use it for reading web browsing tik tok and honestly still works ok I can not complain I get what I pay for I mostly use it for reading. When I travel it’s my everything from streaming emails just basics
what is the difference between this and the fire hd 8 plus ? this one is half the price as the fire hd plus , it has the same chip set as far as i can tell and same ram ? both say gen 12 .so is the 2024 model the 2022 hd plus without wireless charging ? the hd plus is advertised as 30% faster
@@ZaffsProductions thanks i think i will go for the 2024 normal one then . its £75 and the plus version is £150 . i bought one for my mother in 2021 and its great for her and fine to travel with , i was going to get the better version but cant see what the difference is now
@@ZaffsProductions This is the case. The plus has not been updated, so the storage and RAM is the same on this device, as is the hexa-core processor on the current Plus.
It's still 12th gen because the chipset and everything else about it is exactly the same. The only thing new is the ram bump. I do think the newer lenovos (M9 I think?) are better overall.
it's not worth full price is what I can say for sure. with a discount - yes, a good and durable tablet for media consumption. one day they'll make the screen fully laminated :)
WHY IS THE 8 INCH TABLET STILL NOT FULL HD???WHY 1280 X 800 IN 2024???YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY THE 10 INCH TABLET,THE 2021 MODEL WHICH IS FULL HD(1900 X 1200).
My tab has 3 and has android 14 l3ts just say it's works fine but on my 2022 fire 8 with 2gb ram I find that it runs games better performance so uhh yeah
A cheap and cheerful tablet - let me know what you think!
The 2nd half of the video has lighting issues, apologies!

Is it normal for the battery to last a hour
I traded in my HD 8 ..8th Generation for this 12th generation ...getting it on Thursday.

A better chipset is much needed, would pay a bit more for better performance, fire tablets suck even with light apps only after a few months.
They’re decent for light media consumption but anything else would need a bit of patience.

@@fredrickbambino make sure you have at least 2GB of storage free. rebooting also helps with tablet being non-responsible.
@@mrofinUtortxoF already tried these methods, it's just a terrible chipset overall, other upper entry level chipset don't really have this issue.

If it works okay I wouldn’t bother upgrading! There’s not much of a difference here. You could go for the 2022 version purely for the CPU increase.

They seem the same!

The HD 8 plus has 3 gigs of RAM...not 4
I just bought this but havent got it yet Does it have a navigation app?
I am not entirely sure! You should be able to use Google Maps from the browser though.

Yes it’s definitely good for media consumption.
Full review would be good

I have a 10-inch Samsung tablet, it's great for working but it's kinda large and heavy for lounging. It depends on your use case.
Didn't know it got a refresh i had 2020 version but the performance took a hit😅 4gb of ram is a bit too sluggish imo
Can i use RUclips?
From the browser you can!
4gb of RAM in 2024...
And 64gb of onboard storage
If you are just streaming, 4 GB is fine especially with the OS not demanding much.
My tab has 3 and has android 14 l3ts just say it's works fine but on my 2022 fire 8 with 2gb ram I find that it runs games better performance so uhh yeah
@@ZaffsProductions exactly. My fire hd 8 plus 2022 has 3gb ram and it works perfectly
