The keyboard takes several seconds to appear, and the Screen transitions is slow. The Fire 7 is excruciatingly slow even when compared to Amazon’s 8-inch and 10-inch devices. The Amazon Fire 7 comes with a 1.3GHz Mediatek 8163 processor, which Amazon claims is quicker than the previous model’s 1.3GHz quad-core processor, as well as 1GB of RAM.
AMAZON KINDLE FIRE 7 INCH 8GB 720P
DisplayĪs the name suggests, the Amazon Fire 7 has a 7-inch screen, as the name suggests, and it supports a complete resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, not even HD 720p for a pixel density of 171 per inch (PPI), which is disappointing. It would have been nice if there had been a little more modern touch. In absolute terms, I’ll consider theAmazon Fire 7 to be functional but somewhat old-fashioned. I would have liked a better-placed stereo speaker, but there must be compromises on a device in this price bracket. The left edge in particular disappoints as it houses a very small speaker grille. This makes it easier to use in landscape mode, but it isn’t as well-suited to portrait mode. Every other port is at the top: volume controls, a jack, a micro USB port, and a lock button. A hatch with a micro SD connector is located on the right edge. The sides of the device are difficult to forgive. The Amazon logo stands out in the centre, and it is made of somewhat reflective plastic that also grips fingerprints. This texture helps it grasp the fingertips nicely, and as a result, it is rather noticeable. Taking it in your hands also allows you to appreciate its plastic back’s “porous” texture. It increases to 421.4 grams when the Amazon shell is added and making it a heavyweight device. The small tablet at 288.3 grams is impressive, but it is nothing near the high and mid-range guidelines that have been in place for years. The 7-inch screen is surrounded by nearly 2-centimeter broad borders at the front and chin with 1.2-centimeter wide edges on the sides and a simple photo sensor at the upper left corner. At first glance of the Amazon Fire 7, the device appears somewhat old-fashioned.
