- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2019Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: Twilight BlueStyle: Fire 7Verified PurchaseFirst and foremost, FOR THIS PRICE is a great product!! Unbeatable, I must say; it's a lot more that you can expect!! I am surprised this thing is such a high quality product for just few bucks (I bought mine on eBay for $39,99, but later I found it's the same price here at Amazon).
AMAZON x100: It is true its operation is 100% based on a Amazon environment, and that its Android OS is a special version (with some limitations); however I use Amazon store and services a lot, so that does not bother me at all. The inconveniences that are annoying for me I have overcome them satisfactorily...
TRILLIONS OF ICONS: For example there are tons of Amazon App icons in the main screen that I don't use, and the app they belong to cannot be uninstalled (or at least I haven't found the way to do it). Well you can stop their services so they don't use tablet's resources, and occupy less memory and space that way; but the icons are still there. Also, they are not allowed to be stored in a folder (by long pressing each icon) so you have to deal with that bunch of icons in the main screen, which is very annoying (to my liking). But today I finally discovered a TRICK ;) to store them in a folder (Yeah!), so goodbye to those disturbing icons that I don't use (I just see 1 folder). My screen is already clean now, and only with the Apps that "I" use.
AMAZON'S ANDROID: As for the OS limitations, the only one I could not overcome is that I have an annual subscription to Norton antivirus, and I have it installed on my Desktop, Laptop and Smartphone; unfortunately it cannot be installed on Fire 7 (9th gen). Today I contacted Norton technical support and they confirmed it; they say it cannot be installed due to the version of Android that Amazon uses on their tablets, which is limited and also different, with a very specific configuration that meets their tablets. Well instead I installed a free anitvirus that is going well for now (hope it protects me enough).
STORAGE: As in every smartphone or tablet, internal memory is a concern of all of us (it quickly gets full); and this Fire 7 is not the exception. However it has 10.63GB for user's available internal storage (of 16GB it comes with) and I still have 8GB and something FREE, but this is because I use a 32GB MicroSD (it accepts up to 512GB) and configured all apps to store things over there. This is a good advice for all smartphone/tablet users. Oh yes, also Amazon gives you 5GB for Free in their cloud for you to store your stuff (pics, docs, music, or whatever you want). That's space you won't use in your Fire's storage so that's a nice gift.
BATTERY: The battery life is awesome; what I've tested so far it gave me about 8 hours while Spotify downloaded my entire playlists for offline use. After that I gave it the second charge and have it playing music for about 5 continue hrs and the battery still has 70% remaining.
SPAM: There's something that bothers me a bit which is the advertising of Amazon stuff when I unlock the screen. I haven't found how to stop it so after various attempts to get rid of it I ended up accepting to live with it. I just swipe my finger from the bottom of the screen and advertising is quickly gone.
KEYBOARD: It can be set in several languages (well that's standard; I just downloaded the Spanish dictionary so it checks my spelling), but something that I liked is that it includes the Swipe method of "writing" (you enter words by sliding a finger from the first letter to the last; you lift only between words). I love that method and have used it in my smartphones for years now so I'm glad I found it here too.
MORE TO COME: I'm so excited with my new Fire that I want to explore more functions, for example Alexa, and more other stuff that comes with the tablet. I will find the time for that later, but for now, I am very happy with what I've got.
MY CONCLUSION: I am 200% satisfied with this product, I think it works sensational, at a very satisfactory speed. It plays my Spotify and MP3s playlists without problem, pairing it with my JBL Flip 4 speaker was fast and easy (and it sounds spectacular), the WiFi works perfectly, the email configuration was super fast and without problems, etc etc etc. What a good product!! And for this price, even better!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020Digital Storage Capacity: 16 GBOffer Type: Lockscreen Ad-SupportedColor: Twilight BlueStyle: Fire 7Verified PurchaseIt’s good for its value, but like all tablets, the price adds up as you start tacking on other things like the case and such. The ads aren’t bad. I think people who are complaining are spoiled or are upset they had to settle. If you have children, obviously you never let them have access to ads because they don’t understand to not download them. In terms of the glitchy, I notice most of those reviews are with people who uses the SD card. I know it shouldn’t and I know any IT person would say I’m crazy, but adding on storage always slows down a pc. I do think over time this will begin o glitch. I saw 2 samples in store. The one that was glitchy felt older and wasn’t updated. The one that wasn’t was updated and felt smoother. So I bought the square trade protection just to be safe. I wanted a tablet for some game playing, web browsing amd amazon shopping, simple writing and reading, portable, smaller than the ipads, but bigger than the kindle screens for reading and that kindle oasis price tag is a joke. Setup was super simple and understanding how to use it doesn’t require much of a tutorial, but I can’t say that’ll be the same for you if you’re someone who yells a lot at computers and complains about this new generation.
Some cons: the screen doesn’t feel good to swipe. It’s good for tapping. I am really happy I bought an anti-glare screen protector together with my purchase. I was able to put it on first thing which helped with screen feel issue and harsh light. The resolution isn’t perfect and might be too much effort for your eyes if you’re always working with 4k. It’s heavy. I swear the ipad mini is lighter even though they’re the same weight. I think it’s about weight distribution. The resolution and the weight are going to be my deal breakers. If my eyes feel dizzy or my fingers keep complaining, I’ll return it, no matter that I purchased it with a goft card. Otherwise if you have the money and you really want a tablet without the high price and you don’t notice weight, I’d recommend it. If you have an amazon bookstore nearby, I recommend checking there. I’m starting to realize that the price was a little less in store than online.
It’s not a waste and won’t be something you’ll hate yourself for buying even if you do decide to return it. Just don’t wait too long to try it and decide if you want to return it.
*After a few days, I’ve decided that if I had money, I would get a better tablet. The weight isn’t much of an issue anymore, but the resolution is awful. I will be keeping it b/c it’s what I wish my tablet would be and there are times where I really wish I had a tablet and this is the cheapest on the market with a brand name I trust and no need for store interaction. (Ads/ “special offers” are still not a problem for me, unlike other reviewers. Just putting that out there for those worrying if the discount is worth it. It is.)
