Amazon Fire 7 (2019)

“The 2019 upgrade gives the Amazon Fire 7 a performance increase of around 40%. Nonetheless, this tablet is only suitable for users with low demands.”

“Amazon's $50 Fire 7 tablet for 2019 features minor hardware upgrades, but not enough to recommend over the Fire HD 8 for all but the most budget-conscious buyers.”

“If you need a tablet that can adequately (though not impressively) do the essentials, and the short battery life isn't a complete turn-off, it's a decent deal. It could also be good for kids, seeing as it has Amazon's parental controls system built right in. But if you can go up from $50, there's no reason to get the Fire 7 when the same company offers a slightly better tablet (or one with better specs, anyway) for less than $100.”

“The Amazon Fire 7 makes a lot of sense if money is tight and you’re already a Prime member. It’s portable, well built, and packs in a lot for the money. Compromises are par for the course unless you can afford to spend more.”
