Amazon has four new 8-inch tablets up for pre-order starting at $99.99 with hexa-core processing power, solid battery life, and HD screen resolution

Compared to the Fire HD 10, of course, the screen is still pretty modest, with an unchanged resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, but compared to the 10th gen Fire HD 8, this 12th gen model is at least a tad thinner and lighter, at 9.6mm and 337 grams respectively . All in all, this is definitely not a radical upgrade, but the quality/price ratio remains pretty much unrivaled in today's otherwise incredibly competitive tablet market.Yes, the $149.

Of course, the base price includes a"kid-proof" case as well, with your Pro options ranging from Cyber Blue to Hello Teal to Rainbow Universe flavors and the non-Pro Fire HD 8 Kids tablet available in playful blue and purple colors. Just as before, the Pro version is designed for slightly older children , with non-Pro models being deemed more appropriate for kids aged 3 to 7. That being said, the specifications are naturally identical for the two versions... and the"regular" new Fire HD 8, including everything from a hexa-core processor to 2 gigs of RAM, 32 and 64GB storage options, 13-hour battery life, and USB-C charging.
