Power when you need it
With up to 10 hours of mixed-use battery life, Fire HD 8 gives you the flexibility to go where the day takes you.

Stands up to everyday life
Amazon engineers Fire tablets to hold up against everyday life. We put the Fire HD 8 through over 50 tests to replicate drops, tumbles, spills and other everyday wear and tear. As measured in tumble tests, Fire HD 8 is twice as durable as the iPad mini 4 (and costs a lot less too).

Alexa on Fire tablets
Alexa provides quick access to the entertainment you want, including music, games, audiobooks and more. You can also ask Alexa questions, check your calendar, get news, find sports scores and even control your smart home - just ask. When connected to Wi-Fi, simply say "Alexa." Alexa will respond to you-even when the tablet screen is on standby-and will show visual responses to certain questions.

Introducing Show Mode
Show Mode is a new, immersive hands-free Alexa experience for your Fire HD 8 that provides full-screen landscape visuals that complement voice responses from Alexa. Show Mode lets you ask Alexa to see trending news, make calls, check the weather, view camera feeds and more-all glance-able whether you're up close or across the room. Show Mode is available with free software update.

Everyday made easier
Alexa on Fire tablets helps make every day easier. Ask to set alarms and timers, check traffic, your calendar, to-do or shopping lists and more. You can order millions of items with your voice, such as household and personal care products.

Be entertained
Whether you're looking for your favorite playlist or need a quick joke, you can ask Alexa. Ask for a song, artist or genre and stream directly over Wi-Fi. Alexa also provides voice control for Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, TuneIn and more.

Calling and Messaging
Ask Alexa to call almost any local number, message your contacts or video call friends and family who have a Fire tablet, Echo Spot, Echo Show or have installed the iOS or Android Alexa App. You can also instantly connect with family and friends by asking Alexa to drop in on enabled Echo devices. For example, you can drop in to ask what time dinner will be ready, see the baby's nursery or check in with a close relative.

Voice control your smart home
Alexa works with compatible devices such as smart cameras, lights, switches, thermostats and cooking tools from Arlo, Philips Hue, TP-Link, Ecobee, Rachio, GE Appliances and more. Switch on the lamp before getting out of bed, change the temperature on your thermostat while reading in your favorite chair or dim the lights from the couch to watch a movie-just ask.
