Faster chip, longer battery life, newer software and slim recycled plastic body offer serious bang for buck
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. Plus it has Alexa built in for controlling devices and answering questions.
Amazon’s App Store has most of the media consumption apps you are likely to want in the UK but BT Sport, Paramount+, Google’s YouTube, Chrome and Maps, and Apple’s Music and TV are not available. Zoom, Skype and Alexa are available for video calling, while the store features a fairly large range of games, even if many of them are rubbish. Note Fortnite does not support the Fire 7.
You need an Amazon account to use the tablet, plus a Prime subscription giving access to Prime Video to really make the most of it. Note device encryption is not enabled out of the box, so I recommend turning it on when setting it up to protect your data in case of theft.The mono speaker in the top of the tablet is well positioned to avoid it being blocked when handheld.
