Mistake? Fire HD 8 and HD 8 Pro Kids have the same price

If utilized correctly, a tablet can serve as a gateway to education or entertainment for your child, similar to how the Gameboy COLOR was for you in the past. However, choosing a tablet for your kids can be a challenging task. Currently, a special deal that reduces the price of both the Amazon Fire HD 8 and Amazon Fire HD 8 Pro to just $85 each adds to the dilemma, right? Not necessarily.

Both of these tablets, originally priced at $140 each, are now discounted by $55, and it’s quite evident which one is more suitable for your child. If you have a younger child, the regular version is the better choice, while the “Pro” version is more suitable for an older child. The naming convention may be confusing, but that’s the way it is. Click on the buttons below to view the tablets for yourself and continue reading to learn how to take advantage of these deals.

Which Amazon Fire HD 8 deal is right for you?

If both the regular Fire HD 8 and the Fire HD 8 Pro are priced the same, then opting for the Pro version seems like the logical choice, right? In reality, the two tablets are very similar. They both offer a 13-hour battery life, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, an 8-inch HD resolution display, and more. Additionally, each tablet comes with a 6-month subscription to Amazon Kids+ for access to ad-free educational and entertainment content. Both tablets have received high ratings from Best Buy customers as well. After hearing the descriptions of the tablets, it’s easy to assume they are identical. However, the Pro version also includes built-in web browsing with guardrails and user-friendly parental controls.

In a surprising twist, it is mostly the external features that differentiate the two tablets. The regular version comes with a thicker protective casing and features “younger” colors and themes like Disney’s Cars and Disney princesses, while the Pro version has a sleeker design and themes (such as Marvel heroes) that appeal to older kids. As you read our Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet review, which praises the device for its easy setup and curated content, keep in mind that the ‘Pro’ version will offer a similar experience, but with the added capability of internet usage and a more “mature” theme.

Take advantage of either of these tablet deals today by clicking on the appropriate button below. Remember, both tablets are priced at just $85 today after a $55 discount from the regular $140. The regular version is recommended for kids aged 3-7, while the Pro version is suitable for kids aged 6-12. However, you can make your own decision based on your child’s preferences and needs.
