The interface is similar to previous Fire OS versions, with a simple home screen for apps and media, a personalised “for you” section and a “library” section with all your owned Kindle books, games, movies and other media.

Amazon typically supports its tablets for longer than low-cost Android rivals, with at least several years of software and security updates. It lacks Google’s Play services and store, relying on Amazon’s App Store and services. The Fire 7 is Amazon’s first tablet to run a new and updated version of its Fire OS software, now based on the more modern Android 11, which brings with it improved security and privacy options.
Operating system: Fire OS 8 based on Android 11Ĭonnectivity: Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5, USB-C, headphonesĪmazon’s App Store has most of the main media streaming apps available, including Disney+. Storage: 16GB microSD slot also available There’s a headphone jack in the top for wired listening but the tablet supports Bluetooth 5 and should work with any wireless headphones you have. The mono speaker sounds surprisingly good for personal watching but is a bit too quiet to overcome the noise of cooking in a kitchen or similar. It is fine for casual watching of TV shows and movies but it doesn’t have automatic brightness adjustment, so you’ll need to manually turn it down at night or up in bright light.
The 7in screen is better in the flesh than it might seem on paper but it is not HD and pales in comparison to higher-priced competition. The new Fire 7 inherits the smoother, more modern and slimmed-down design of the recent Fire HD 8 and HD 10 tablets. The body of the tablet is made of 35% recycled plastic and feels smooth and hard wearing.
