The camera app lets users set the image resolution, turn the HDR mode off and on and choose between five levels of exposure. Colors appear very washed-out while dark areas are too dark. The tablet has to be held absolutely still to get a decent photo and even then the edges of objects are rather blurry. The latter can still only produce average-looking portraits.

You can add further devices from our database manually at the bottom of every table.Īmazon has not made any changes to its 2-MP main camera but has now also equipped its front camera with a 2-MP lens. Of course, we have also included our test unit's predecessor into our comparison field. These include the Alcatel 1T 10, the TrekStor Surftab B10, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 and the Alldocube M8 T801. We have therefore chosen to compare the Fire 7 with some devices that might not seem equivalent at first glance. The kids edition is available for $100 and is protected by a robust case.Īmazon has kept the Fire's price low at $70 for the ad-free 16-GB version, which limits the choice of competitors with a display size below 10 inches. There is a configuration of the Fire 7 (2019) available with 32 GB of internal storage, which costs an additional $20. An ARM Mali-T720 MP2 will take care of the graphics department.

We expect these positive aspects to still apply to today's unit and the CPU performance to increase thanks to the new MediaTek MT8163 V/B SoC. The RAM is still very limited at 1 GB while the internal eMMC flash storage capacity remains small at 16 GB. Our review of the Amazon Fire 7 (2017) uncovered slow storage, a weak CPU and meager camera quality but also good battery runtimes, a solid case and a low price.
