The apps launcher became extremely slow. I think the tablet is defective. Returned it for a different one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>I need an Android tablet to play with and Samsung seems to be a great choice among tablets until I read about Amazon Fire HD 8, the only draw back about this one is Google Play Store is NOT loaded. You can&#8217;t install any Android apps if you don&#8217;t have Google Play Store because most of them registered with Google Play Store and Amazon app store only has some Amazon affiliated apps. To make this fast, long battery life, small tablet into full blown Android tablet, all we need is to install Google Play Store. I bought the <a href=\"\/\/amzn.to\/2Bh4B7N\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">16GB version near new for $54<\/a>, but the new one is on sale for $79. If I knew it&#8217;s this good, I would have paid for <a href=\"\/\/amzn.to\/2FYVzjp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the 32GB version one<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"igallery\">\n<p
