Amazon today announced the next generation of its Fire HD 8 tablet lineup, designed with the entire family in mind: the all-new Fire HD 8, Fire HD 8 Plus, and Fire HD 8 Kids Edition.

The new Fire HD 8 includes:

  • An 8” 1280 x 800 high definition display with over one million pixels.

  • Up to 12 hours of mixed-use battery life for browsing the web, watching videos, listening to music, and more.
  • Comes with USB-C for easy charging in less than 5 hours.
  • Introducing Game Mode – A distraction-free, optimized gaming experience that lets you focus on your game without interference from notifications.
  • Access to millions of movies, TV shows, songs, Kindle eBooks, magazines, apps, and games. Watch downloaded videos with Prime Video, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu (No Ads), or SHOWTIME subscriptions, and enjoy picture-in-picture videos with apps like Twitch and Red Bull TV.
  • Download an app, such as Zoom, or ask Alexa to make a video call, to keep in touch with family and friends using your Fire HD 8.
  • When connected to wifi, ask Alexa to Drop In on a friend or family member, play a song, start an Audible book, launch a trivia game, find your favorite movies, show your calendar, and more – using only your voice.

For $20 more, the new Fire HD 8 Plus adds:
