Fire HD 8 Plus tablet and Wireless Charging Dock Reviews Summary

Performance and Speed

Pros:

• "The tablet is nicely made, super thin but sturdy. When it comes to performance, that thing is very fast and thanks to the 3GB of RAM, everything is very smooth."
• "So far I couldn't be more disappointed. I've never had a product from Amazon that was so completely user unfriendly."
• "By far the best tablet Amazon has made."
• "Runs smooth! Such an upgrade from my last kindle fire."

Cons:

• "The hardware is OK (probably not even midrange but low end), but the software is what really makes the product 'meh'."
• "This is my 4th tablet and have loved and enjoyed the previous 3. This one is very slow sometimes and sits and spins."
• "I have been doing research on tablets for about a month and I thought I would take a chance. I was surprised how well it worked Its fast it has a great picture streaming is great and the price was right."
• "Runs smooth! Such an upgrade from my last kindle fire."

Battery Life

Pros:

• "The fact that the battery last over 10 hours is awesome as I can watch movies on a long trip or read without having to plug it in to charge."
• "Excellent battery power. I listened to an audio book for 14 hours without 1 charge."
• "I have used all kinds of different tablets and I would have to say this is the worst. I thought I would give it a try after some good reviews. The smoothness of the tablet is very poor even though it has 3gb memory."
• "The battery life is much, much better. The larger screen is a positive, and more internal memory means easier processing within apps."

Cons:

• "I am very disappointed with this purchase! After just a few years of use, the battery on the kindle has swollen and destroyed the entire thing."
• "The speaker quality is noticeably worse. The battery life isn't as good either."
• "I've had multiple kindles since they first came out but:This is the first one that will turn itself on at random times. There is no rhythm or reason that I can find for it. The battery will be fully charged and I'll shut it off, put it away and when I come back to it the thing is in sleep mode and half charge is gone."
• "I love the screen and all but once the initial charge started going down I put it on the charger-came back & it still showed 16% so I left it until the next day and still showed 16%-went to the help section & was told to power it down with the button and after that it started charging-this was the first time to recharge since I bought it so this is pretty ominous......"
