My 3 year old HD 8 has it's struggles with performance and the new 10th Gen seems to be using the same A53 cores. The performance is where I was really holding my breath. Also this works with any wireless charger, I am using a Samsung wireless charger with my HD 8 Plus and it turns on Show Mode automatically, so no need to spend $40 on the Amazon dock if you have a spare wireless charger already. The wireless charger does it automatically, I really like that. My old 7th Gen could go into Show Mode, but it is a manual process of plugging in a power, then swiping down on the notification shade and toggling Show Mode on or off. When you put this on a wireless charger it automatically goes into Show Mode, turning this into an Echo Show device.
The power button has also moved to be closer to the volume buttons, which makes more sense holding it in landscape mode as the old design had the power button resting against my palm. This year Amazon has changed the design of the HD 8 models by going with uniform sized bezels and the camera on top in landscape mode. They had narrow side bezels and large top and bottom bezels when held in portrait mode, with camera on top.
With that you get 3 GB of RAM instead of 2 GB and wireless charging, but lose out on color options, only Slate blue.įor years Amazon has designed the Fire HD tablets with a portrait mode first design. The HD 8 Plus model is $20 more than the regular HD 8.
