Note, though, that if you want to stream to your TV from this tablet, you'll need to buy a Fire Stick. So if all you want is to watch TV and movies on the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, you're well served. The speakers, boasting Dolby Atmos, also performed surprisingly well. That's never going to be an amazing visual experience, given that this is only an eight-inch screen to start with, but it's nice to have the flexibility, at least. But once I'd got my head around how they worked, it meant I could do things like check an email while still having my TV show running. I'll be honest: I didn't find these particularly intuitive to get started with. This faster processing means it's easier to take advantage of some cool new multitasking features for 2022, including split screen and picture-in-picture.

This is not what they call 'Full HD', but 1280 x 800 pixels, with a pixel density of 189ppi, which is a drop below it. The display here is exactly the same as on the Amazon Fire HD 8, and indeed as the 20 versions of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus. But really, those are things most of us would struggle to notice. Compared with its 2020 predecessor, it's thinner (down from 4 inches to 3.7) and lighter (down from 355g to 337g) and stronger than before. Overall, then, there's nothing exciting about the design of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, but it's well-made and does the job. On the side are volume controls, an on/off button, a charging port, a Kensington slot, and a 3.5mm audio jack. On the bottom right is a slot for microSD card. ![]() At the top are two speaker grills on the left and right. ![]() If you hold it in landscape, you'll see a selfie camera in the centre of the top bezel, and a main camera in the top right of the rear. It's essentially a black rectangle, with thick bezels and a 16:10 display in the centre. ![]() Looks-wise, the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus 2022 is what you might call 'plain'.

Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus 2022 review: price and availability Older versions are still available, and may be cheaper, but won't offer the same specs or capabilities. One more thing: be aware this is the '2022' (aka '12th Generation') version of the HD 8 Plus we're talking about. ![]()
