It's just under $30, or about half the price of the device itself. Things change a bit when you factor in the Fire 7's optional case, which both protects the device and acts as a kickstand when using it in landscape mode. Still, at less than one-fifth of the price, the Fire 7 offers enough of the basic tablet experience to at least consider if you're on a budget.
That's a significant discount when compared to other compact tablets, like the $500 iPad Mini, which does come with a better display, processor, and overall experience. You can double that storage for an extra $20, or add up to 1TB of additional storage via the microSD card slot. Even the upgrades are affordableĪt a starting price of $60 for the 16GB model, you probably won't find a cheaper 7-inch tablet. Once it's in landscape mode, though, having the buttons all on the side is pretty convenient since you can press them without transferring the tablet to one hand. (There's a power/display button, a USB-C port, headphone jack, and volume toggles.) Having the volume buttons along the top is nice when you're using the tablet in portrait mode, when you’re likely to be reading rather than watching something, but on the off-chance that you do need to adjust the volume, reaching to the top of the tablet is a bit uncomfortable because it’s a little too wide to hold in one hand. When you're holding the device in portrait mode, all the buttons and ports rest on the top of the tablet. They're fine for a last-minute Zoom call or taking a reference picture, but these photos won't end up on any holiday cards or collages. There are cameras on the front and back of the tablet, but the quality isn't great, and it's difficult to imagine anyone using them with much sincerity. It feels like a larger, thicker Kindle Paperwhite with a smaller lip on the bottom. The back of the Fire 7 is coated in a matte finish that makes it comfortable to hold, and it doesn't seem to pick up too much oil from your fingertips and palms, either.
The Fire 7 accomplishes that quite well with relatively small dimensions of 7.11 x 4.63 x 0.38 inches (just small enough to fit in a decent-sized fanny pack or compact purse), but it's also a little too wide to hold in one hand without a bit of strain, especially for those with smaller hands. It even has the Amazon logo in the back.įinding a good tablet that's slim enough to fit into a small bag isn't an easy feat.
