Prime Day is still a couple of weeks away, but Amazon is already aiming to impress — and we're not complaining. If you've been trudging along with a tired tablet, it's likely time for an upgrade. And thanks to Amazon's early Prime Day offerings, a new tablet can arrive at your doorstep for a whole lot less.

As of July 3, the Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet (64GB) is on sale for Prime members for just $54.99, on sale from the normal price of $129.99. That's a savings of $75 or a 58% discount. The Prime-exclusive sale price is the lowest we've ever seen offered on the Fire HD 8 tablet.

We're already seeing some great tablet deals ahead of Prime Day 2024, and if you're in the market for a budget-friendly option, the Amazon Fire HD 8 is a great bet. Sure, it's not the best tablet on the market, but at a sale price of under $55, it's a solid device at a rock-bottom price. The sale price makes this a great tablet for a recent high-school grad or as a learning device for kids on summer break.

The tablet has an 8-inch screen, which means it'll be a serious upgrade from watching shows on your phone, but it'll remain travel-friendly and easily slip into your backpack or tote bag. Amazon mentions the tablet can get up to 13 hours of battery life, so you should be good to go for the day or stay powered for that international flight.

With 64GB of storage space, you'll be able to download plenty of your favorite Netflix or Hulu shows. If that's not quite enough space to accommodate your favorite apps, podcasts, and audiobooks, the tablet can accept a 1TB expansion via the microSD slot.

When it comes to multitasking on the Amazon Fire HD 8, the split-screen is up for the task, so you can continue watching a show while browsing the web.
