Amazon updated its Fire HD 8 lineup last week and has promptly discounted the slates for its October Prime Day sale. The new slab has more RAM, a better camera setup and built-in AI features to make it different from its predecessor.

An upgraded configuration with more memory and storage is also on sale for 85, down from its 130 MSRP.
