5.0 out of 5 stars Efficiency and Affordability: Amazon Fire 7 Tablet 2022 Edition Review
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: BlackStyle: Fire 7Verified Purchase
The Amazon Fire 7 tablet continues to impress with its blend of affordability and functionality. As a budget-friendly option, it delivers excellent value for money. The 2022 edition maintains its predecessor's compact design, making it highly portable and convenient for on-the-go use.One of the standout features of the Fire 7 tablet is its vibrant 7-inch display, which offers decent color accuracy and clarity for multimedia consumption, reading, and light productivity tasks. While it may not compete with higher-end tablets in terms of resolution, it more than suffices for everyday use.Performance-wise, the tablet is powered by a quad-core processor, which handles basic tasks smoothly. It's suitable for browsing the web, streaming videos, checking emails, and running lightweight apps. However, users looking for more intensive gaming or multitasking capabilities might find it lacking.The battery life of the Fire 7 tablet is respectable, providing several hours of usage on a single charge. This makes it ideal for casual users who don't require all-day battery longevity.Amazon's ecosystem integration is a significant advantage of the Fire 7 tablet. It seamlessly integrates with Amazon services like Kindle, Prime Video, and Audible, offering users access to a vast library of digital content.While the Fire 7 tablet excels in many areas, it does have its limitations. The cameras are mediocre at best, producing grainy and lackluster images. Additionally, the internal storage capacity is limited, but it can be expanded via a microSD card for those requiring more space.Overall, the Amazon Fire 7 tablet 2022 edition is a reliable and cost-effective option for casual users, students, and anyone seeking a budget-friendly tablet for light tasks and entertainment. Its combination of affordability, portability, and integration with Amazon's ecosystem makes it a compelling choice in its price range.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect kindle book reader; all else secondary
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2023
Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: DenimStyle: Fire 7Verified Purchase
I snagged this latest 12 th gen 7” fire tablet at one of amazons sales $39 in late 2023. The latest chip and 2 gigs RAM makes a real difference compared to a 7” fire I had a couple or so years ago. Last one was basically useless, slow, crashed, and the book reader could not even smoothly do page curl turns. BUT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. IF YOU ARE A BOOK READER I ASSURE YOU THERE’S A LOT TO LOVE HERE. (and see one more surprising positive below in my update). The kindle app is flawless and almost snappy on this device. Page turning page curls are smooth and totally free of stutter or lock up like the earlier generation. It has a LOT of nits of brightness - surprisingly VERY bright even for my somewhat older eyes. Making text a bit larger is great (if your vision can use that help) and the screen resolution is totally fine for reading text, no issues at all even though it seemed like it’s a bit lower resolution in its specs. I leave it full brightness and still the battery lasts forever. Given a choice of the e-ink kindle costing much more, and this tablet (I have both) this little 7” fire tablet is FAR SUPERIOR FOR BOOK READING THAN THE e-ink tablet: it is more responsive, agile in changing text size, and lots of nits of brightness for easy reading. If you buy it ONLY as a dedicated book reader, and especially if you get the $39 price - it’s a steal and an incredibly under recognized useful budget reading tablet. Scale of 1-10 as a book reader I give it a 10. No question. More pros: surprisingly solid feel, no bending or creaking- really feels solid in the hand. Not too heavy but it’s not like so paper light that it feels flimsy. I recommend you get a case however cheap, because it is a little slippery to hold. Current OS on it is reasonably responsive and has not once ever crashed. Ok now some practical comparisons. As a tablet it is maybe a 4 on that same scale of 1 to 10: it is not super fast opening apps, the selection of fire available apps is poor, and you should accept that this is not a high end android or apple tablet. Yet, several streaming apps work flawlessly and you can watch media on it but the screen is a little washed out on color and lower resolution when your eyes compare to a high end tablet, or iPhone or 4k TV. The silk browser does work, just not super fast. The USB C charging port (!) was a splendid surprise, and the files app built into the OS let’s you surf a USB flash drive you can plus into that USB port which is surprising and kind of really cool FOR A THIRTY NINE DOLLAR TABLET! I did find that USB 3.0 maybe 3.1 works plugged into the USB C port but not USB 3.2. Last note: it has a standard headphone jack. Streaming audio including Spotify through headphones gives very very good sound. Shockingly the OS is sophisticated enough that you can plug a USB C to 3.5 mm female headphone adapter and plug headphones into that and it DOES stream the sound that way to headphones too. Sound quality seems identical either way. Portable, fun, great book reader, quite competent on card game apps and streaming apps including Netflix, Amazon prime, HULU, Disney, other free streamers like Crackle and Pluto and more; long lasting battery life, quite solid, lots of fun and so budget priced that if these capabilities sound appealing just buy the thing you will love it. Great toy to add to the small electronics fun gadgets in our lives. Update 11 22 23: one more positive to note: surprising but absolutely true: just discovered that Facebook's Messenger app will handle video calling and the result is extremely good - even shockingly good; sharp image, no dropped frames, perfect clean sound quality. Years ago it would have been impossible to imagine an inexpensive tablet gadget that could do video calls like that; yet, here we are. Outstanding!
