Amazon Fire tablets are among the best Android tablets due to their affordability. Amazon has now confirmed its plans to release upgraded versions of two Fire tablets, the Fire 7 and the Fire 7 Kids.
According to Amazon, the 2022 Fire 7 and Fire 7 Kids will have twice the RAM and 40% longer battery than current iterations. Both will also run a 30% faster quad-core processor. Other features include USB-C charging, along with two front and rear 2-megapixel cameras capable of 720p recording and video calls. Alexa support is also included.
While these two Fire 7 tablets are essentially the same device, the Fire 7 Kids is aimed at kids and therefore also comes with a kid-proof case, a one-year Amazon Kids+ subscription and a two-year worry-free warranty.
Both tablets are expected to start shipping on June 29 Pre-order From Amazon starting at $59. In addition to choosing between 16GB or 32GB storage options, you have three colors to choose from: black, denim, and pink, with coordinating covers for $28.
The Fire 7 Kids is also available for pre-order today starting at $109. The above child proof bag comes in blue, red and purple and has an adjustable kickstand that doubles as a handle. If you’re an Amazon Prime member and want to keep Amazon Kids+ after the free trial, you can subscribe starting at $2.99 per month. Amazon says you can use the same Amazon Kids + subscription across compatible devices.

The new Fire 7 tablets look like solid updates to the existing line and could be welcome news for Android tablet shoppers on a budget. Of course, we’ll have to get some to test ourselves to see if they deserve to take the place of their predecessors on our list of the best Amazon Fire tablets you can buy.
However, these tablets will have the same font limitations – most notably that Amazon’s Fire OS doesn’t allow easy access to the Google Play App Store and a wide selection of apps. Because of that, you can’t get the full YouTube Android app experience, for example. Many other popular apps are also not available on the Amazon App Store. If you are an investor in the Amazon ecosystem, this vulnerability may be minimal. For the rest of us, the lack of access to the Google Play App Store is still a glaring flaw.
