[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': ' The tagline for the 10th gen Fire 7 is “Tiny price, big fun” and I gotta admit, whoever came up with that, nailed it. It is tiny but it works great. Here is the thing, know what to expect and you won’t be disappointed.\n\nPositives:\n\n-The new Fire OS is a significant improvement. It is closer to current android, and it is intuitive-ish if you have used an Android phone before.\n\n- The processing power and the responsiveness improvement is significant when compared to the previous gen. The promotional material states that it is 30% faster and after trying it, I agree.\n\n- Live view on another Amazon device, using specific skills like Ring or WYZE, using Alexa, in general having this as a portable automation control at your fingertips, works very well.\n\n- Still has a headphone jack.\n\n- Lots of battery time.\n\n- Supports up to 1TB microSD card. Running it with 256GB just fine.\n\n- Made with environmentally conscious materials.\n\n- Voice control is as good as with any other Amazon device.\n\n- Still works great for reading your E-books and browsing the web. This review was written in it, btw.\n\nNegatives:\n\n- A lot of the same negatives of the previous Gen. Screen Resolution? Still 1024X600. Memory? Still 16GB, maybe 32GB if you cough up another 20$, which I did.\n\n- No fast charge means that given that the battery is larger than the previous model, the charge time is also longer.\n\nOther thoughts:\n\nI intend to use this tablet as my portable hub for my amazon devices; so far it works great for that. I did a bit of streaming and internet browsing and it works great for that too, albeit the resolution could definitely better, which I knew coming in. It is significantly faster than its predecessor.\nGiven that I like the previous one, I am pleased. Don’t get me wrong, I would prefer to have a better resolution or more memory on the starting model or maybe even better speakers (plural), but Amazon improved the model significantly in another area (performance) without significantly affecting the price. Thus, while it is not perfect, I give it five stars.\n\nTLDR; The new fire 7 is FIRE. Worth every penny.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "For years, I was using my 2017 iPad for reading eBooks.\n\nAs a self-proclaimed bookworm, there were days I'd spend 5+ hours reading - and needless to say - holding up a clunky iPad for extended periods was less-than-ideal. I began browsing the market a few months ago for a smaller, lighter device that I could dedicate to reading eBooks and watching the occasional Netflix show or Hulu rom-com.\n\nMy folks both have the 2019 Fire 7, and although the size is perfect, I was never particularly impressed with the overall package (read: slow performance and poor battery life).\n\nEnter: The 2022 Fire 7 Tablet\n\nFinally! An updated version of Amazon's smallest and most portable Fire tablet. I pre-ordered one and eagerly awaited its arrival on the release date.\n\nIt's now been 3 days and I can confidently say that this new Fire 7 is exactly what I was looking for.\n\nFirst, size and weight:\nThis Fire 7 is way smaller and lighter than my old, tired iPad. I can hold it for hours with no strain. I fly almost weekly for work and it's a noticeable weight off my shoulders compared to the iPad (literally, I travel with a backpack).\n\nSecond, battery life:\nIt's excellent. This puppy goes on and on. Yesterday, I read 245 pages of an adorable YA M/M romance novel then watched several episodes of Selling Sunset (don't judge) and there's still 66% battery remaining. My iPad would've surely passed away by now.\n\nThird, performance:\nWell-suited for flipping through eBooks, browsing the Kindle store, perusing Goodreads, or watching low-end reality shows about real estate on Netflix. I'm certainly not a gamer so I can't speak to that, but for a basic user like myself, it's more than sufficient.\n\nI'd also like to mention the phenomenon of expandable storage (gasp!). If you're like me and have used Apple products since the advent of technology, you're probably used to being trapped into purchasing set-in-stone device storage capacities. For 15 bucks, you can pop a 128GB MicroSD card into your Fire Tablet and download all five seasons of Selling Sunset. What a time to be alive.\n\nConclusion:\nI'm glad I waited for this new Fire 7. It's small, portable, lightweight, and has great battery life. As someone who doesn't need anything crazy powerful, this device checks all my boxes. It's also nice to be able to expand the storage as-needed.\n\ntl;dr: it's great. Buy it."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I got this because the fire 7 has been upgraded from 1gb ram and a 1.3ghz quad core to 2 gb ram and the same 2.0ghz quad core the base model fire 8 hd has. It performs exactly the same except it has a 600p screen instead of the 720p screen.\n\nI used it for Netflix and Hulu and it uses less data since it's streaming in standard definition but it doesn't look worse than 720p does on my 8 inch tablet. Since it's smaller it's also more pocketable.\n\nI've been a big fan of gamepass and I launched it here from the website since the app itself is not supported and it was running smoothly and I didn't notice lag which I'm assuming the 600p stream helps vs the 1080p I use on my phone or larger tablets. I paired this with a controller and I had a blast. I also tried using my phone as a hotspot for when I'm outside and want to game stream and it was also using less data than normal since it's 600p.\n\nIf you already have used a 2020 fire 8 then you know what to expect in terms of performance. For the size it's pretty decent."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Reason I purchased the 7-inch Fire Tablet: I wanted to carry my molecular biology textbook (Kindle edition, enabled with Text-to-Speech TTS) in my pocket (or belt holster). Then I could listen to it and/or read it (offline) anytime, anywhere by using the Amazon Kindle app. Is this really possible? Yes, and FANTASTIC. Molecular biology is very complex, so I must listen at reduced narration speed (0.7x), which is available on the Kindle app. Steps are these: (1) While reading in the Kindle app, tap the center of the screen, and then tap the menu icon Aa in the upper right corner. (2) Tap More, and then tap the switch next to Text-to-Speech to turn it on. (3) In the Kindle book, tap the screen to show the progress bar, and then tap the Play ► button next to the progress bar to hear the text read out loud. To increase or decrease the reading speed of the Text-to-Speech voice, tap the Narration Speed icon. I use a cheap headset with 3.5mm mp3 plug to listen to the audio output. I can listen with the Fire Tablet in my pocket (or belt holster), or I can read directly on the screen of the tablet itself.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Super small and not heavy.

Its fantastic, no more using for a bit then charging for a long time on the old style chargers. Just over all a great fire tablet."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This new Fire 7 (2022) has a few nice hardware upgrades over the previous Fire 7 (2019). Here are the key changes:\n\nGood Changes:\n-2.0 GHz CPU; ..2019 version was 1.3 GHz CPU\n-2 GB RAM; ….2019 version was 1GB RAM\n-10 hours battery; 2019 version was 7 hours\n-USB-C charging; 2019 version was micro-USB\n-Up to 1 TB MicroSD card; 2019 version was up to 512 GB MicroSD card support\n-Smaller bezel, lighter, shorter in length\n\nBad Changes:\n-$59 Price; 2019 version is $49\n-Three colors: Black, Denim, Rose; 2019 version had four colors: Black, Twilight Blue, Plum, Sage\n\n==\n\nOverall these are nice little upgrades to the least expensive Fire tablet line. The CPU and RAM upgrades bring this new Fire 7 up to par with the Fire HD 8 tablets, and the ability to add up to 1TB of storage is nice since these have so little onboard storage space. This 2022 version has the same cameras and display as the previous 2019 version, but the smaller bezel around the screen results in the tablet being smaller overall. I haven't tested out the battery life much yet, but an extra 3 hours of battery is also a big improvement if that holds up. These upgrades, combined with the USB-C charging, probably make the $10 extra price tag worth it; even more so if you can get this on a discount on Prime Day.\n\nI feel like this Fire 7 is a good option as a starter tablet. The high durability and low price make it ideal for kids that are old enough to use a real tablet; but young enough that you'd worry about them damaging a more expensive option like an iPad. The resolution on this Fire 7 isn't amazing, but you can't really beat the price. If you want a better screen it might be worth upgrading to the HD 8."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am very happy with the quality of this new Kindle Fire. This is my 4th Kindle, and this new version has a much clearer picture by far. I put it next to my Kindle Fire 8 and the difference is amazing! The battery life lasts much longer too! My only complaints are the one speaker compared to the 2 my last Kindle had, and that they were sneaky in redesigning the controls on the top so it would not fit in an older version Kindle case, so I will eventually need to buy a new case (grrrr), but I will still give it 5 stars as the quality is so much better.
