Walmart Onn 8
The Onn 8 does come with a micro USB charging cable in 5 volts charging brick and of course, it comes with a product guide. It looks and feels like a cheaper Android tablet but it does have a nice texture on the blue plastic back on the right-hand side. You get the power volume up and volume down buttons and then on the top you have got a headphone jack and micro SD card slot and then the micro USB charging port on the bottom.
This is on android 9 or Android Pi so of course, the nice thing about this tablet over the Fire HD 8 is you get the official Google Play Store so you can use the YouTube app, Gmail all the other Google apps that usually use on a daily basis.
Surprisingly for watching videos this actually looks pretty decent. Unfortunately, you can only go up to 720p on the resolution. Navigating around in this tablet feels a little more sluggish it is a bit lower resolution but it’s still not bad for 64 bucks.
Amazon Fire HD 8
The Fire HD 8 with Alexa comes with 16 GB and 32 GB versions. The 8-inch display is 1280 by 800 you can use a microSD card up to 400 Gigabytes. This is a Quad-core processor they both have dual-band Wi-Fi front and rear cameras and it says this one has Dolby surround sound.
This one also comes with a micro USB charging cable and 5volt charging brick so even though Amazon tablets are fairly cheap when it comes to hardware and specs. They have got a really nice matte plastic on the back and then a high-gloss Amazon logo. On the right-hand side, you’ve got the micro SD card slot and the nice thing is you have got 2 speakers on the left-hand side instead of just the one speaker on the Walmart tablet than on the top you get your power micro USB charging port, microphone, 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, and volume buttons.
Fire HD comes with 2-megapixel front-facing camera and the 2-megapixel rear-facing camera so it looks similar to the Onn tablet. Amazon puts a ton of apps on this not to mention their custom software on top of Android which probably takes up quite a bit of space so the camera isn’t that great on this tablet as well but it’s better than the Walmart tablet. You can’t get the Google apps on this tablet.
