Comparisons Featuring Amazon Fire 7
Short Review
- The Amazon Fire 7 features a compact design with dimensions of 191 x 115 x 10.6 mm and weighs 313g, making it portable but slightly bulky.
- Its 7.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, offering decent clarity at approximately 170 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT8127 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is a 2 MP unit capable of 720p video recording, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery life is supported by a 2980 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs a customized version of Android 5.1 with the Fire 5 UI, providing a unique user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G or NFC.
- It has a microUSB 2.0 port and includes a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Fire 7 is a basic tablet with limited features, suitable for casual use.
- Its build quality is straightforward, available only in black, without water resistance.
