Our take on the Amazon Fire 7 tablet (2022 release)
The 2022 Fire 7 is Amazon's smallest and cheapest tablet, a 7-inch touchscreen device for reading, streaming and light browsing. It steps up from the 9th generation with a quad-core processor Amazon rates up to 30% faster and 2 GB of RAM, double the old model, plus up to 10 hours of battery. Storage is 16 GB or 32 GB with microSD expansion up to 1 TB. It runs Amazon's Appstore, not Google Play, so it suits casual users inside Amazon's ecosystem more than people who need Google apps. Reviewers generally call it fine for the basics but slow for heavy multitasking, and the low-resolution screen trails rivals.
