Amazon cuts Fire HD 8 Kids Pro to record-low $89.99
Amazon has cut the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro to a record-low $89.99 from $169.99, Android Authority reported. The tablet for ages 6 to 12 includes 64GB storage, 4GB RAM and a two-year guarantee.
The Fire HD 8 Kids Pro is built for children ages 6 to 12 and is intended to have a more grown-up look and feel than tablets made for younger children. This version comes in Hello Teal with a slimmer case that looks less toy-like, according to the report. It has 64GB of storage and 4GB of RAM, with microSD expansion available for additional downloads, videos and apps.
The tablet features an 8-inch HD display. Amazon rates its battery life at up to 13 hours for reading, watching videos and everyday use by children. It also includes parental controls and kid-friendly browsing tools, which allow adults to manage what children can access.
Buyers receive a one-year Amazon Kids+ subscription with age-appropriate books, games, videos and apps. The subscription also provides access to a filtered digital store and a home screen designed for school-age children. Amazon includes a two-year worry-free guarantee, meaning the tablet can be replaced if it breaks during that period.
Android Authority reported that the Fire HD 8 Kids Pro has a 4.6-star rating. The report called the $89.99 price one of the strongest Fire tablet deals for families at the time and noted that it is a record-low price.
