Amazon's new Fire HD 8 tablets let you use Alexa without speaking
that introduce a"Tap to Alexa" feature. You can not only control the assistant exclusively using touch, but pair with a supporting Bluetooth switch or use text-to-speech to have commands spoken for you. This is particularly helpful for people with speech and mobility disabilities, but could also be useful if you just don't want to speak .
There are some meaningful hardware upgrades. Amazon claims 30 percent faster performance through a new six-core processor, and the design is billed as thinner, lighter and more durable than its predecessor. You can also expect a slightly longer 13-hour battery life. You're limited to 2GB of RAM and wired charging on the base model , but an uprated Fire HD 8 Plus bumps up to 3GB of RAM while adding wireless charging, faster wired charging and a higher-quality five-megapixel camera.
Don't expect dramatic improvements in other areas. The 2022 Fire HD 8 starts at $100 with the same 32GB of storage, and tops out at 64GB. You'll pay $120 for the 32GB Plus model, which also has a 64GB option. You don't need to buy one to get Tap to Alexa, at least. Amazon is making the feature available today for 8th-generation or newer Fire tablets in the US, UK, Germany and Japan.You can disable notifications at any time in your settings menu.
