Amazon Alexa Tablet 8 (2026) Overview
The Amazon Alexa Tablet 8 (2026) was announced on October 9, 2026, and released in the US on October 14. It is the compact entry in Amazon’s new Android tablet line — an 8.7-inch aluminium slate with full Google Play access and Alexa+, sized for reading and one-handed use. It is not sold in Pakistan, so local prices are expected conversions, not official ones.
Key Highlights
- 8.7-inch IPS LCD, 1340 x 800 pixels, 60Hz, 400 nits
- Kompanio 540 chip, 4GB RAM, 64GB or 128GB storage
- 8MP rear camera; 5MP front camera; 1080p video on both
- 4,600mAh battery with 18W wired charging
- Stereo speakers; stylus support; 329g aluminium body
- Android 16 with Google Play and Alexa+
Display and Performance
The 8.7-inch panel is sharp enough for reading and video at this size, though the HD+ resolution and 60Hz refresh sit a class below the bigger Alexa tablets. The Kompanio 540 (the MediaTek 8189 platform) with 4GB of RAM covers browsing, streaming and light apps; it is not a gaming or multitasking chip.
Cameras and Battery
An 8MP rear camera with autofocus and a 5MP front camera handle calls and document scans, both recording 1080p video. The 4,600mAh battery is small — Amazon rates it at up to 14 hours of video playback thanks to the modest screen — and charges at 18W over USB-C.
Amazon Alexa Tablet 8 (2026) Price in Pakistan
These are expected prices converted from the official US prices at USD/PKR ≈ 276.9 (October 2026); Amazon does not sell this tablet in Pakistan.
| Variant | US Price | Expected Price in Pakistan |
|---|---|---|
| 4GB + 64GB (with lock-screen ads) | $229.99 | Rs. 63,999 (Expected) |
| 4GB + 64GB (ad-free) | $249.99 | Rs. 69,999 (Expected) |
| 4GB + 128GB | $279.99 | Rs. 77,999 (Expected) |
The tablet is Wi-Fi only, so PTA registration does not apply.
Final Verdict: Should You Buy It in Pakistan?
The Alexa Tablet 8 is a reading-and-streaming tablet with a premium metal body at an entry price — as long as the modest screen and small battery fit the job. In Pakistan it is import-only with no local warranty, so it suits buyers who specifically want the compact size.
