In need of a new tablet but don't feel like dropping hundreds of dollars? What if we told you you could get an Amazon Fire tablet for under $65?
Meet the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, a great tablet for reading, streaming, or even video chatting. But the best part? As of Jan. 29, this model is on sale for $64.99. That's a saving of $55, and it's the first time it has been on sale since July 2025. This price is for the 32GB option, however the 64GB tablet is also on sale (down from $149.99 to $94.99).
The Fire HD 8 Plus is like the standard Fire HD 8 tablet, but better. Upgrades to this model include wireless charging, a 9W power adapter, 3GB of RAM, and better quality front and rear cameras. It’s thinner and lighter than the previous generation too, and is built with a strengthened aluminosilicate glass screen that Amazon claims is twice as durable as the iPad mini (2021). So, if you're clumsy, this model should survive your drops.
It performs fast too, thanks to the enhanced hexa-core processor that’s up to 30% faster than the last Fire HD 8 Plus. And the battery life is impressive, lasting up to 13 hours for reading, streaming, or listening to music. You'll also have access to lots of apps and streaming services via Amazon’s App store.
This deal has a "limited-time" stamp, so don't miss out.
