Although the new tablet uses the USB-C port, its charging speed is still painfully slow. In our video streaming test, the Fire 7 lasted 10 hours and 26 minutes before running out of power. In the real world, the tablet lives up to its promise. Amazon says the new model packs a larger battery that lasts up to 10 hours, a marked improvement over the 2019 model’s 7 hours of battery life. The new Fire 7 (2022) rocks the same 2MP front and rear cameras as the Fire 7 (2019) as you would expect, they’re not great. Longer battery life but still painfully slow charging speed The bottom line: Tasks that don’t demand a lot of power, such as web browsing, media streaming, and reading books, should be fine but don’t expect to run graphics-intensive games on this hardware. In Geekbench, the tablet scored just 166 and 525 points in single-core and multi-core tests. While these improvements are welcome additions, the real-world performance of the tablet remains underwhelming.

The RAM has also been upgraded from 1GB to 2GB which means the new model can hold more apps in the memory and should offer a better multitasking experience. Amazon says the new processor is up to 30% faster than the one in the Fire 7 (2019), which packed a quad-core CPU running at 1.3GHz. The new Fire 7 (2022) is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT8168V/B chipset, featuring four Arm Cortex-A53 cores clocked 2.0GHz. The Fmay not look much different than the last model from the outside, but its innards have been upgraded with more powerful parts. The max brightness is 300 nits, which is fine for indoor usage but too low for using the device under direct sunlight. It’s not even HD (720p), and you can easily pick out individual pixels. It is a 7-inch display with a resolution of just 600 x 1024, working out to 170 pixels per inch. It’s pretty low-res, dull, and quite dim. The tablet’s display is unchanged from the last model, which is disappointing because that display wasn’t that great in the first place.
