The Amazon Fire HD 8 is an affordable tablet with an even lower price right now, as its ad-supported 32GB model is on sale with a 35% discount from Amazon. In one of the most attractive tablet deals that we’ve recently seen, the device is down to just $65, for savings of $35 on its original price of $100. You’re going to have to hurry if you want to take advantage of this limited-time offer though, as there’s a chance that it’s already gone by tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet

The Amazon Fire HD 8 isn’t going to challenge the performance of the best tablets with its hexa-core processor and 3GB of RAM, but for everyday activities such as browsing the internet, catching up on social media, and watching streaming shows, it’s going to be a solid device. The 8-inch touchscreen offers HD resolution for clear details and bright colors, and its battery can last up to 13 hours on a single charge. The Amazon Fire HD 8 also comes with a 5MP rear camera with 1080p video recording and a 2MP front camera with 720p video recording.

With its support for Amazon’s Alexa, you’ll be able to use voice commands with the Amazon Fire HD 8 for functions such as playing videos and music, searching for information, and accessing your smart home devices. While the 32GB of built-in storage is somewhat limiting, you’ll be able to get up to 1TB of additional space through a microSD card, so you’ll be able to download more apps and save more content on the Amazon Fire HD 8.

For a budget-friendly tablet, you can’t go wrong with the Amazon Fire HD 8, so you’re going to want to grab this chance to buy its ad-supported 32GB model at 35% off. Its sticker price of $100 has been slashed to $65, but this is a limited-time deal that may disappear at any moment. If you want to pocket the savings of $35 when buying the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet, there should be no hesitation — add it to your cart and finish the checkout process immediately.

I always found taking pictures from an iPad, or just any other tablet, quite ridiculous. But Apple is apparently doubling down on the experience. A newly granted Apple patent titled “Input System for Portable Electronic Device” describes a pressure-sensitive button that can recognize taps, swipes, and full presses.

The technology bears a striking resemblance to the Camera Control Apple introduced with the iPhone 16 lineup, and most of the patent’s device drawings depict tablets rather than phones. While this doesn't guarantee that Camera Control is heading to an iPad, the patent does include plenty of details that suggest otherwise.

Samsung’s upcoming flagship Android tablets have leaked again, and this time we have what appears to be the clearest look yet at the front of both the Galaxy Tab S12+ and Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra.

SammyGuru has published renders of the two tablets showing their displays and bezels. The overall design appears very close to last year’s Galaxy Tab S11 lineup, while the Ultra model once again carries the shallow display notch that many hoped Samsung would finally remove. Samsung has already confirmed that the Galaxy Tab S12 series will arrive during the second half of 2026, while previous reports have pointed toward a September announcement.
