Our take on the Amazon Fire 7 Tablet With Case
The Amazon Fire 7 is Amazon's smallest and cheapest tablet, a 7-inch slate built for reading, streaming, browsing and Alexa hands-free use. It is slow and the screen is low resolution, so it suits light tasks and kids more than anyone wanting a fast, sharp display. Compared with the Fire HD 8 and HD 10, it gives up screen quality, speed and battery life but is the most portable and the simplest to hand to a child. Owners praise it as a cheap, sturdy first tablet and criticise lag, the display and short battery life.
- Small and light enough to hold one-handed
- Hands-free Alexa built in
- Expandable storage via microSD
- Durable enough for casual and kid use
- Simple setup with an Amazon account
- Sluggish app loading and switching

What reviewers say
Owners treat the Fire 7 as a budget companion for reading, video and kids rather than a serious tablet. They like the low cost, portability and Alexa, and complain about slow performance, a dull screen and battery life that falls short of bigger Fire models.
- PerformanceCriticisedOwners say apps open slowly and the interface stutters when switching tasks.
- DisplayCriticisedReviewers call the 7-inch screen low resolution and dim next to the Fire HD models.
- BatteryMixedSome get through a day of reading, but video streaming drains it faster than expected.
Questions and answers
- Is the Fire 7 good enough for kids?
- Yes, for young children it is a common first tablet: small, light and simple to set up with parental controls. Expect slow games and a basic screen.
- How does it compare with the Fire HD 8?
- The HD 8 has a sharper, larger screen, better battery life and faster performance. The Fire 7 wins only on size and simplicity.
- Can I add more storage?
- Yes, there is a microSD card slot for extra storage beyond the built-in capacity.
- Does it have Alexa?
- Yes, Alexa works hands-free, so you can ask questions and control smart-home devices without tapping.
- What is in the box?
- The tablet and a charger; the case is a separate accessory, not included with the tablet alone.
- Can I use Google apps on it?
- No, it runs Amazon's Fire OS and uses the Amazon Appstore, so Google Play and some Google apps are not available.
