Since they have the exact same specs it’s fair to say that both tablets look very similar, with the low resolution not providing a particularly sharp experience by modern standards.īoth tablets are usable in sunnier environments but it won’t be the smoothest experience, as the actual brightness levels are not strong enough to combat direct sunlight. DisplayĪs the name might suggest, both tablets feature an 8-inch HD screen with a 1280×800 resolution.

Taking a quick look at the camera, Amazon kept things consistent and used the same 2-megapixel rear and front-facing sensor on both tablets, meaning that you can engage in Zoom calls for work or chat with your friends on either device. Both models come with a USB-C charging port and a 3.5mm audio jack, but the Fire HD 8 2022 also features a MicroSD card slot, if you’re interested in upping your storage. The 2022 model, meanwhile, only comes with three colour options, including Black, Rose and Denim. The 2020 model comes in four colourways: Black, Plum, Twilight Blue and White. We also thought that both designs were durable enough to be thrown into a bag or given to younger children since neither of our models encountered any issues, even when we did not use a case.
