Amazon's entry-level 8-inch Fire tablet sticks to the essentials but, notably for 2024, still includes a 3.5mm headphone jack alongside its USB-C port. That USB-C is the older USB 2.0 standard — fine for charging and file transfer but not for external displays — and a microSD slot expands storage by up to 1TB. If you're connecting wired headphones, the built-in 3.5mm jack means no dongle required. For charging, any standard USB-C cable works; the tablet doesn't support high-wattage fast charging.
