There will be a 40 percent increase in battery life and double the RAM in Amazon’s upcoming 2022 Fire 7 and Fire 7 Kids. On addition, the quad-core processors in both devices will be 30 percent faster. A USB-C charging port and two 2MP cameras with 720p video recording and video calling are also included. Support for Alexa is also built in.

The Fire 7 Kids has a kid-proof protective case, a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, and a two-year worry-free warranty, whereas the Fire 7 is practically the same device.

A date for the release of both tablets has been set for June 29, 2014. At a starting price of $59, Amazon is taking pre-orders for the new Fire 7. You can get it in black, denim, or rose for $28, with matching covers, and you can choose between 16GB and 32GB of storage.

Pre-orders for the Fire 7 Kids may be placed right now, with prices beginning at $109 USD. An adjustable kickstand that doubles as a handle can be seen on the kid-proof case, which is available in blue, red and purple. After the free trial, you can subscribe to Amazon Kids+ for as little as $2.99 per month if you’re an Amazon Prime member. If you have a compatible device, you can utilise the same Amazon Kids+ subscription.

Fire 7 and Fire 7 Kids: Outlook

If you’re looking for an Android tablet on a budget, these new Fire 7 tablets could be a godsend. In order to evaluate if they deserve to replace their predecessors on our list of the best Amazon Fire tablets, we’ll need to get some in for testing.

Amazon’s Fire OS does not allow for easy access to the Google Play app store and its plethora of apps, thus these tablets will have the same constraints as previously. Because of this, you won’t be able to enjoy the YouTube Android app to its full potential. Amazon’s app store doesn’t have many other popular apps. This shortcoming may not matter to you if you’re heavily invested in the Amazon ecosystem.
