Amazon's 8-inch budget Android-derivative tablet running Fire OS — the Plus tier of the 12th-gen Fire HD 8 family, distinguished from the base model by 3 GB RAM, a 9 W charger in box, and Qi-style wireless charging support. Wired connectivity is a single USB Type-C 2.0 port for charge and file transfer, with no DisplayPort Alt Mode. The tablet retains a 3.5 mm headset jack and a microSD slot accepting cards up to 1 TB — useful for sideloading media without relying on the cable.
