The 2022 Amazon Fire 7 tablet has a 30% faster quad-core processor for more responsive video playback and game play, and 2GB of RAM, double what the 2019 model has. It now has up to 10 hours of battery life -- 40% more than the 2019. The 2022 model has a USB-C port, rather than a micro-USB connection.
Like the 2019 tablet, the new-for-2022 Fire 7 comes in 16 GB and 32GB storage capacities, and in ad-supported and ad-free versions. The new Amazon Fire 7 tablet comes in three colors, while the older version comes in four.
The Amazon Fire 7 is still Amazon's most affordable tablet, though the 2022 model is priced slightly higher than its 2019 counterpart, starting at $60. The 2022 Amazon Fire 7 comes in two versions: one that's supported by ads on the lock screen, and one that's ad-free. The ad-free version will cost you $15 extra.
