Comparisons Featuring Amazon Fire 7 (2017)
Short Review
- The Amazon Fire 7 (2017) features a compact design with dimensions of 192 x 115 x 9.6 mm and a weight of 295 grams, making it portable.
- Its 7.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels, offering a pixel density of approximately 170 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT8127 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The camera system includes a 2 MP rear camera capable of 720p video recording, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- Battery capacity stands at 2980 mAh, providing moderate longevity without fast charging or wireless options.
- The device runs a customized version of Android 5.1 (Lollipop) with Fire OS 5.4, limiting access to some apps compared to standard Android.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it lacks NFC and 5G support.
- Available colors include Black, Canary Yellow, Marine Blue, and Punch Red, allowing for some personalization.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack for wired listening.
- Overall, the Fire 7 is designed for basic media consumption and casual use.
