Should I Buy It?
If you're searching for a cost-effective tablet mainly for media consumption like watching videos and reading, especially if you're heavily invested in Amazon's ecosystem, then this could be a great choice, despite its few limitations. However, if you require a high-performance device for more demanding tasks or apps not available on the Amazon Appstore, you might want to consider other options.
I snagged this latest 12 th gen 7β fire tablet at one of amazons sales $39 in late 2023. The latest chip and 2 gigs RAM makes a real difference compared to a 7β fire I had a couple or so years ago. Last one was basically useless, slow, crashed, and the book reader could not even smoothly do page curl turns. BUT THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT. IF YOU ARE A BOOK READER I ASSURE YOU THEREβS A LOT TO LOVE HERE. (and see one more surprising positive below in my update). The kindle app is flawless and almost snappy on this device. Page turning page curls are smooth and totally free of stutter or lock up like the earlier generation. It has a LOT of nits of brightness - surprisingly VERY bright even for my somewhat older eyes. Making text a bit larger is great (if your vision can use that help) and the screen resolution is totally fine for reading text, no issues at all even though it seemed like itβs a bit lower resolution in its specs. I leave it full brightness and still the battery lasts forever. Given a choice of the e-ink kindle costing much more, and this tablet (I have both) this little 7β fire tablet is FAR SUPERIOR FOR BOOK READING THAN THE e-ink tablet: it is more responsive, agile in changing text size, and lots of nits of brightness for easy reading. If you buy it ONLY as a dedicated book reader, and especially if you get the $39 price - itβs a steal and an incredibly under recognized useful budget reading tablet. Scale of 1-10 as a book reader I give it a 10. No question. More pros: surprisingly solid feel, no bending or creaking- really feels solid in the hand. Not too heavy but itβs not like so paper light that it feels flimsy. I recommend you get a case however cheap, because it is a little slippery to hold. Current OS on it is reasonably responsive and has not once ever crashed. Ok now some practical comparisons. As a tablet it is maybe a 4 on that same scale of 1 to 10: it is not super fast opening apps, the selection of fire available apps is poor, and you should accept that this is not a high end android or apple tablet. Yet, several streaming apps work flawlessly and you can watch media on it but the screen is a little washed out on color and lower resolution when your eyes compare to a high end tablet, or iPhone or 4k TV. The silk browser does work, just not super fast. The USB C charging port (!) was a splendid surprise, and the files app built into the OS letβs you surf a USB flash drive you can plus into that USB port which is surprising and kind of really cool FOR A THIRTY NINE DOLLAR TABLET! I did find that USB 3.0 maybe 3.1 works plugged into the USB C port but not USB 3.2. Last note: it has a standard headphone jack. Streaming audio including Spotify through headphones gives very very good sound. Shockingly the OS is sophisticated enough that you can plug a USB C to 3.5 mm female headphone adapter and plug headphones into that and it DOES stream the sound that way to headphones too. Sound quality seems identical either way. Portable, fun, great book reader, quite competent on card game apps and streaming apps including Netflix, Amazon prime, HULU, Disney, other free streamers like Crackle and Pluto and more; long lasting battery life, quite solid, lots of fun and so budget priced that if these capabilities sound appealing just buy the thing you will love it. Great toy to add to the small electronics fun gadgets in our lives. Update 11 22 23: one more positive to note: surprising but absolutely true: just discovered that Facebook's Messenger app will handle video calling and the result is extremely good - even shockingly good; sharp image, no dropped frames, perfect clean sound quality. Years ago it would have been impossible to imagine an inexpensive tablet gadget that could do video calls like that; yet, here we are. Outstanding!

Bought this for a reason most people probably would not, but I purchased this to make it into a streamdeck for my Twitch account. Honestly, it works amazing. As the way it stands there are so many android apps (Free) that turn tablets into such great tools you cannot pass it up. It has multiple pages with multiple buttons that can do everything say an Elgato stream deck could do. It may not have the "physical" button feel, but this is much cheaper! It has worked through many streams and recordings. The buttons always work and you can even get into the "coding" side of making custom buttons for different things while streaming. All of this was just for streaming! Imagine the other uses it could be for the price! The screen size is big enough where the buttons are large enough to see and read. The screen is clear enough for me to see the buttons from even far away (other side of the room). The touch screen has not lost any responsiveness and the battery life is fantastic. If I do not crank the brightness to 100 this has lasted me multiple full-length streams. P.S I got a tablet stand for it. It's amazin.

So I only just got this and thought I'd share my initial review and hopefully answer questions that others might have that has been difficult to find answers for. Size differences As most have already seen, this version is different from the previous in shape and size, yes it is slightly smaller. For most users who had the previous version, the kicker is that your covers and cases etc. are no longer compatible. Also the Charger uses USB-C plug also which is different from the previous versions. In terms of performance This is night and day in comparison to the older versions. The older version was slick when it first came out but like most people know, the FireOS is basically Android and as more and more updates have been applied, the older version is now running really slow. So basically this new version hardware was tailored for the today's version of android thus it runs very fast and very slick, this is a very crucial issue. NO YOUTUBE KIDS APP The biggest issue anyone will encounter and is well known about is that this does not have the Google Play Store or accompanying services. That means that IT DOES NOT HAVE THE NATIVE YOUTUBE KIDS APP. There are many people on here that simply either don't understand what a native app is or simply confuse it with the main Youtube. I myself had multiple answers that failed to answer this basic question with multiple contradictory answers or reviews that failed to understand the question. Amazon FIRE tablets DO NOT HAVE YOUTUBE KIDS Apps. Amazon has their own Youtube.com app which it seems they created as the developer email address for that app is an amazon.com email address. When you click YOUTUBE KIDS link in that app it jumps to the browser and opens in the browser which is a terrible experience. It is strange given that on the fire TV, the YouTube app allows you to switch to kids profiles, if only Amazon would do that for their tablet youtube app. But until then What you have are 3rd party apps built by you know who on the AppStore that plays youtube. They are not native apps, nor do they support most of the functionality as is. They are not written by Youtube, Google or Amazon either, so if you want to give those apps your google login which is used for Youtube Kids then you do so at your own risk. YES YOU CAN INSTALL YOUTUBE KIDS NATIVE APP, BUT YOU HAVE TO DO IT YOURSELF. I don't know why nor will I try to even get into this very very old topic of not having youtube kids, but the GOOD news is that it is very simple and easy to get Youtube kids native apps on this 12th gen version. You don't need to be a modder or anything intense. But a simple web search will tell you how to do this. Just know that you will have to install 4 different google apps/services first to get the Play Store. This is even easier as you simply open the browser, download each of them from the website and Click to install. DONE AND DUSTED. Once you have the Play Store you can easily install any of the native youtube Kids apps or even the original Youtube app from google and even login to your tablet with your gmail account. I was able to do this in 30 minutes. With YouTube Kids installed. I am now able to give this 10 Stars. This is basically very decent hardware and latest OS for $60. You cannot go wrong with this as a kids tablet especially with the ability from Amazon to quickly lock this down. Touch Screen is extremely responsive I have struggled to find a decent priced kids tablet that is responsive enough to use the ANTON app without lag. This is the fastest tablet I have seen at this price point. For those that haven't used ANTON, it is by far the best app for teaching your kids. It has school derived lessons, I would recommend every parent should download ANTON. But it's writing lessons, needs a screen that is responsive and a fairly decent tablet. This tablet passes the ANTON test with a gold star. Sound is clear with some bass. It doesn't sound like a tin can. Sound quality is very loud and clear. Trust me, if you've been through the dozen kids tablets I have, you will be surprised how much of a let down it would be when you have poor sound. Kids need to hear clearly and this does it without issues. The Amazon AppStore itself is actually pretty good. All the apps we had on our old android tablet were available except for Youtube Kids. I'd imagine there are many more that are not available but most of the decent kids ones are on there including ANTON, ABC Kids etc I would think that since the FireTV Youtube app allows kids profiles, that Amazon would at some point do the same with their own tablet Youtube app. As it is right now this table is almost perfect especially once I was able to manually install play store and youtube kids easily. I'm ordering a second one.

This is either a great tablet or a terrible one, depending on who you are and what you want out of a tablet. If you are a kid who wants to play games, this is not for you. It simply cannot run many of the more popular games out there. It's just too slow and limited. If you are a student that is looking for something to do your homework on, this is not your tablet. Too slow, too limited, and the inability to run Google apps is a serious issue. I was able to attend a Zoom class with it, so there's that, I suppose. If you want to create videos, no. Just no. It can be done, but any other tablet would be better! For work? Only if you have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Even then your phone would be a better choice. So who is this tablet good for? Anyone going on a long trip. It's small and easy to carry. You can use your wired ear buds. It can use huge SD cards. You can load it up with enough movies, TV series, Kindle and Audible books, and music to get you through months of waiting for flights or on long train rides. It's something to hand to your kids when they get crabby in the car. It is perfect for people who are worried about their tablet being stolen. Openly using an iPad makes you a potential target in some places. A Fire 7 tablet? Not so much. And if it is stolen it is easily replaceable and Amazon makes it easy to clear everything off the tablet remotely. Anyone who wants to protect their data. Using public Wi-Fi is sketchy. One can set up a Fire Tablet without any bank or credit card or other sensitive data on it so that there isn't as much risk. Anyone who wants a really cheap color Kindle. No, the Fire Tab 7 doesn't have a Paper White screen and some people may not like reading on it. But the screen is good enough for the vast majority of readers. The tablet is light enough to hold for hours, and the screen is large enough to hold a typical book. I have several better tablets but if I just want to read I grab the Fire 7. Anyone who is broke. The Fire 7 doesn't do most things as well as most other tablets, but it CAN do them (in most cases). If you can't afford anything better, then the Fire 7 is great!

A little slow on some things but overall good for what I purchased for- for my kids to watch movies and play games on long road trips. Decent battery life and charges pretty quick. Overall good value.

Just received and so far quite happy with the speed and performance, time will tell on the supposed longer battery life than our original Fire 7 it replaced. We were surprised to find the battery was totally discharged when we received it and would not even turn on without charging. Charging DOES still take 4 hours just like the old unit, a little inconvenient in this age of fast charging but even with a higher wattage charger it only shortens that time slightly (from what we've read). Our original was from 2012 and was setup more as an e-reader that could go online. This one is a tiny tablet that happens to have the Kindle e-reader app installed. We'll see how much we can customize our library to make it feel more familiar. Given the price was 1/2 that of a new Kindle paperwhite I think we'd choose this one again in a heartbeat if it works as well as our original Fire 7 that lasted 13 years!

This is a small tablet that runs Amazon Apps. In this price range you are not going to get eye popping graphics or symphony hall sound (it has mono output and speaker). But it does the basic job nicely and is simple to use. Initial setup was easy, if a bit slow. My big gripe about the setup was tapping through a number of nag screens that want you to install various Amazon Apps that I didn't need or want. But each one was easy to say "No" to and then proceed to the next nag. After getting it up and running, the Apps are a bit slow to load. I bought this primarily for listening to songs on my Amazon Music subscription. Here is where the glitches start. I occasionally get "unable to play this song" messages when I tap on a song. Going back to the Home Screen and restarting "Music" usually clears this up. I never have this issue on my iPhone or iPad, so it must be related to this tablet. A much larger problem is that I sometimes will get a "you need an internet connection to play this music" when I tap on the song. WiFi is shown as connected and other Apps work, but Music will not play anything. Doing a shut down and restart will clear this problem up. The Bluetooth connected right up with my Bluetooth speakers and it seems to work fine and I've had no issues with the Bluetooth. The Ads that come with the cheaper model aren't too bad. They appear on the lock screen and a quick swipe up will banish them. There are also ads across the top of the Home screen, but they are not too intrusive and are easy to ignore. Thankfully, no jiggling or flashing ads that are difficult to close like you see on other devices. Overall, a pretty nice tablet. But I am keeping an eye on the Return date to see if I continue to have issues with with the "You need an internet connection" message. And, no, Amazon Support; I am not going to reboot my Gateway to attempt to solve this problem. Everything else I have in the house works just fine and glitch free on my WiFi - so it is some issue with this Tablet. (Support suggested I change my WiFi password to solve the problem; yeah, right).

Great price. Works great. Personally I still use the 6" tablet for reading in bed because the 7" one is just a tad bit heavier. Always worth paying the extra to go ads-free.
