I've got the Fire 7 and I absolutely love it! I know there are better tablets out there, but i got mine brand new from Amazon for $29. At that price, you're not going to find a better deal anywhere!
Its a great tablet I've had no problems it does what I need just fine and as an oldschool gamer emulation device its actually pretty freaking good.

The original fire wasn't HD and didn't have this option so why is he sharing the older Fire tablet complaints which are no longer a problem? Its like he looked up old complaints or is using conversations from fellow PC snobs that don't know things are better with this new 7hd fire tab. I always get the impression that this guy is talking down to people, like we're all peasants. He gives just enough info to say the device works but he wouldn't wipe his butt with it. Maybe he should get a shot gun and a box of news ones and use them for target practice just to really rub poor folks nose in his crap. For families with 5 kids can't afford $200 tablets for each kid, IMHO Amazon made it possible for even low income kids to have internet devices that's pretty dang cool.

I got my mom a USED 2014 fire tablet 6 inch, the very first with Alexa(hold button down) She reads, Facebook and Tubi. Runs like a champ and even still gets updates. This was so antique it did not have sd card slot option, so stuck with 6 gig out of 8 space. This thing was thicker too, and more solidly built than a 7. It also had a special product identifying app called Firefly, which was on the phones but not sure it went anywhere else. Got that for 35.00. Awesome. We are a fire family. First started with the 3g black and white kindle keyboard, which I prefer to those much more expensive paper whites. Have had 7, 8, and 10 fire sticks and TV's and an second gen echo that still works fine. Just ordered a limited deal 24.99 refurbished fire 7. Cheapest thing I ever seen. Simple, functional, portable. I am no technophile and specs go over my head. Still, Amazon caters to those too with the 3 gig ram gaming suitable kindle fires. What a time to be alive. I have become quite keen on these portable systems. I have even made the qlink electronic benefit scepter 8 tablet hum by disabling almost all google stuff. Anyway simplicity is popular. And with virtually a garage sale price point, even malfunctions or failures are easily refunded and replaced. Things keep getting better too- magnetic charging, remote appliance control...it also, as an avid reader, did not stop printed books. There is audio, digital, more ways to enjoy content than ever before. And for the inclined, their are rooting methods, fire toolbox, putting on the play store. Option on top of a sea of options. Just many of the sea of reasons it sells so well. Could not be happier. Well done Amazon.
Bought one of these 9th gen versions for 29.99 during prime days. Out of curiosity, was pleasantly surprised and a nice addition to my ever growing collection!
And this is why i love LTT just the fact that you said A L E X A instead of alexa! i love that you guys make sure our smarthome devices are not going crazy ;)
Thank you for spelling Alexa instead of saying it! Every time I watch reviews of Amazon products and someone says the trigger word "Alexa" I have the knee-jerk reaction to look to my Echo Device and see if it lights up.
My use of it... Installed Google framework.. Installed Google Play.. downloaded my Google Play playlist songs to device via wifi .. use Fire 7 as Bluetooth device for my car stereo and can take calls on my phone without music stopping. Passengers can pass the tablet around to control music instead of aux cords or my phone. My phone is a hotspot so it connects to Google server at least once every 30 days automatically and I can stream music into it (and download) while my phone is in the car. 20 minute setup for seamless experience
This tablet is great for the kids or any situation where damage may occur. You can get them even cheaper then $40 on Black Friday and Prime day. The kid case for them is almost the same price as the device which is kind of crazy.
I have the google play store on my fire tablet and it wasnt hard to get. I also got rid of the adverts on the lock screen for free by contacting an amazon employee. Most of the things you said are fixable and some of them are free
The HD 10 is also pretty good. I had the 2015 model, and it had some issues, but the 2017 model fixed all of them. It has a great screen, great processor, and it is extremely durable. I actually recommend it!
How’s the lag on yours? The fire 7 lag is a little too much for me. Wanted to get the 10 looking at its specs, it seems more powerful but I wasn’t sure if it was good enough.
Recently got the hd10 2017 and after a factory reset to fix a playback issue, everything else seems great @zach, I rarely run into lag (and i'm sure the only reason why is cause my internet is just crappy)
Yep I work at a tech shop and bought one for myself cus it was cheap and the specs were decent but most people who wanna buy it consider it a "kids tab"
my aunt's fire tablet (1st gen) still works, her primary use for is videos, facebook, online shopping, puzzle games, reading. EVERYTHING you do waiting at the Doctor's office, the airport, a flight and especially during a power outage (netflix downloads). So yes, totally worth the $
I ordered one of these a few years back when my phone broke and I wanted something to use on the go. It was so much better than I expected for the price, I could take it on long journeys to listen to music and watch movies and also browse social media really easily.
a ton of these would have been bought by parents for kids who couldnt care less about the spec, they just wanted a tablet...so a very cheap present that does the job for them..
Kids don't need (and should not have) more than this anyway. I am definitely going to buy a 40€ tablet for my son. Even the fact that it's locked down to amazon products is a feature, since it cuts down on things he shouldn't access.
@Asteria Just buy more expensive tech and hand it down to your son when you want to upgrade. Sounds easier and better. You can start with the cheap tablet. That's how I would do it
One fun thing to note about the Fire 7 is the difference between the regular and kid versions is literally just the foam case that surrounds the one. The Fire 7 has built in software to make it "kid friendly" and it can be disabled. I got two of these from work when the Amazon vendor came in to swap out the display models for a static picture version. He said to just throw them away because Amazon doesn't want them back, so he gave them to me because I didn't want to just toss them. After a bit a research, I learned how to reset it to get it off of the store demo display mode then I ran Fire Toolbox to de-bloat ads and useless apps on one and side-loaded a few apps to it. I'm currently using one of them as a cheap OBD II car scanner because it's just a tad easier to see the app on the larger screen and I don't need a high-spec system to run it. This way I don't risk dropping my phone if I'm working on a car. The only downside is I can only use one scanner that doesn't have bidirectional support, so I can't diagnose certain things on more modern cars. Maybe one day they'll update the app.
300 kilopixels is good marketing trick... 1. because in our heads 300 is bigger than 0.3 and 2. because some idiots won't know that mega is bigger than kilo xD
girlgreenivy they're actually getting clever and making the new ones unrootable. But you basically just Google it, follow some quick steps, and BOOM any Android app on your Kindle
girlgreenivy on mine I just downloaded google play. It was the Disney version amazon kindle 7 for kids. I’m looking for budget tablet that faster than the kindle though
For those looking into one, I’d HIGHLY recommend upgrading to an HD8. I purchased an HD8 a few years ago and the extra screen size, higher resolution, and greater storage is worth the extra money.
could it be its 1080p? or maybe because it dosnt have alot of problems? maybe because its connected to your amazon account and elexa? or is it because its FOURTY FUCKEN DOLLARS
HudsonGTV I think it is because people download so many apps. Like games, Netflix or just apps for certain purposes. Like an app for productivity like Forest which I’m not sure you can get on fire 7 tablet. Because it is available through iOS, google play store, and chrome web store.
I got that tablet for free, it was super laggy, but after downgrading the software via adb and using a tool to uninstall all bloatware and installing the play store it is soooo much better. It would be nice to be able to flash a custom, slimmed down rom to take advantage of the garbage specs, but it works pretty well
I found a refurbished 16gb fire 7 on Amazon for 27 bucks. I’m not expecting anything crazy. But, 1 is none and 2 is one, so having it to compliment my iPad (that I use for work) will be at the vary least interesting.
We all have them in our house. I don't use mine that much as I have a good phone and a good laptop but the wife and kids love them. It's all about media consumption.
presterjohn71 I have one that defective but just enough where I didn’t send it back, if you tilt the screen you can see light bleeding threw the edge of the display and the screen is judding out a little bit so every time I pick it up it makes a creaking bending plasticy noise...
Who cares about 1080p when the screen is so small you can't tell anyways. People who consume media on a phone screen have the lowest standards anyways. People arguing about 1080p 5" vs 720p 7" is like console fanboys arguing about 960p 60Hz vs 1080p 50Hz. All shit when you can have 4k on a big screen where you don't have to strain your eyes to make out details.
This is actually quite amazing for twitch streamers and those who need a portable screen to monitor statistics or data such as plant managers, stock brookers, data analysts etc. Pretty useful too as a mobile house remote to control a smart home lol
Kyle Li ugh , no . don't make excuses for this product . and no your not going to use that device to monitor anything in refineries. That's done through company provided devices and locked software. I'm talking and out Huntsman , total , Exxon mobile , arkima, martin, arlanxio, flint hills , Lucite, motiva, aire liquide. None of these companies would let that device near their facilities . its not 'intrinsically safe' , and a device that's not rated as such won't be used by these companies.
I have one and I love it! I use it for videos, movies, books, and music. It’s a pretty great deal if that is all you a wanting a tablet for. I definitely recommend it to everyone!!
Do not listen to this person. Buy the iPad or a Samsung or anything else. A tablet is no use if it freezes Opening a single application. No issues like storage yet it freezes because the ram is tiny and the software is crap. Do not buy it DO NOT.
I have a couple of low-end 7" tablets (Galaxy 3 7" & an Acer something-or-other) that I use to run the app that controls my digital audio mixer (XR18). They also both work well as GPS units. For these purposes (and not much else) they are a great value. I'd imagine the Fire 7 would be as capable.
I got mine 2 weeks ago for $18 on Amazon. Then I turned it into a Android Tablet with a cool free software & it runs so smoothly, with a functional PlayStore 🔥
I have this and I regret not getting a tablet with ANDROID OS. Amazons os is still nice but Teamviewer doesn't work with it -_-). You can get google play to work on this but it'll get all glitchy and shit. Decent for porn though I guess, if that's your thing.
I'm really surprised you didn't mention the data collection aspect of it as well. Among other things, Fire tablets have a "collect usage data" switch turned on by default, collecting data about how often and how long you run your apps. In exchange, some apps are actually available at no charge. This, combined with the lock screen ads, makes me feel uneasy about these devices. That's why I highly suggest rooting and installing the Google Play Store to get rid of the bloat, ads, and tracking in exchange for a purer Android experience.
Griffin S I'm not explicitly aware of any of these other companies that actively collect and send app usage statistics from their OS to their servers without you first explicitly opting in. Individual apps, yes, but the OS as a whole, no. If you know of specific instances, I'd be really interested in hearing about it. For instance Apple, as far as I'm aware, only has an opt-in option to send crash reports, not actual usage reports. Crash reports are also anonymized by the device before it ever sees an Apple server.
GBCAwesome Thanks. I didn't think so. I've got an old 5th gen Fire that I rooted a couple of years ago, and rooting was the only way to remove the lock screen ads without paying the upgrade fee. It also allowed me to replace Amazon's launcher with Nova. If a new root technique does come to light, I highly suggest taking advantage of it before the tablet auto-updates.
I think it is about getting Amazon services in front of as many people as possible. They don't mind losing money on these because they can tie average consumers into using Amazon services.
My friend owns a Amazon Fire 7 tablet, and I use it at some times. Here's the pros and cons. Pros: -Has a microsd slot to compensate for low storage -Comes with the addition of a voice command system (Alexa) -Surprisingly great with some high-demand games, like infinite flight -Durable and sturdy -Has a function to sideload the play store (can be found how to do online) Cons: -Sharp edges -Poor camera, and you'll need to be standing very still for a decent shot -Very low storage space -Takes sometime to charge, around an hour and half -...but the battery dies in the same time it takes to charge Neutral: -Bezels are between medium and large, but at least when you want to watch something with a good grip, it won't block out the screen -Screen is decent enough for all purposes. None are better or worse than the other -Colour selection isn't that wide, but it's better than some tablets that offer only 2 colours -Not the best tablet you can find, but the best one you can get for the price, especially at discounts that bank it down to $30 Overall, I'd give this tablet a pass. But just.
Question about battery. How much were you using it and what were you using it for? I have a growing digital book/comic book collection and people have recommended this to me as an alternative to my Kindle (which doesn't have color) but if what you said about how it holds a charge is true it sounds like it might not be the best thing
It's one of the easiest tablets to root and remove all Amazon Android and just put stock Android on it. Plus if you lose it break it is 40 was 20 on Black Friday deals
In that case it's decent deal but you know, this tablet is for "kids", tech-llamas and worst enemies so for them rooting process is basically the unicorn magic and that's the problem. Because yes, you have a choice to change the Hell of Amazon to something "decent" but you don't know about it when you are not tech-geek and when you are then you stay away from whatever brand does "ads on the lock screen" because it scream "CONSUMER TRAP" all over it. So the people who knows are staying away from these products unless they really need them for some specific thingy and the rest is in the consumers hell and there is nothing we can do unless you want to put there with the ads some video tutorial on how to root the tablet.
Don't worry you are not missing much. With the specs of this device you are better off leaving Amazons version of android on these tablets. Custom Roms that will work on this device are not nearly as optimized as OEM Roms, Amazon doesn't give out source code, so the kindle compatible Roms are nothing more than hacks and shims. On the other hand if you have a extremely powerful device, custom Roms are fantastic especially when source code is in fact available.
Why would you buy this of amazon instead of Aliexpress? You can get similar specs for similar prices without the amazon crap. My view of the low specs: there are actually a lot of people who buy the flagship phone to only stream music, read messages, call people, and occasionally look up something. Looking up weather forecasts and agenda appointments in hd is just a waste. I have seen IT students who only take pictures with whatsapp because their flagship phone camera has too many settings and they don't feel like figuring out how it works. I have seen arts students who only take pictures with auto settings. Those are the people who should care, right? The fact is: most people don't need all these new features. Not just some but MOST people! A lot of people buy a flagship to show off, because they just want to have a good thing, because they appreciate the effort put into it, because they want some performance to spare so that they know it's gonna work.
My 160€ Moto G5 came with the same warranty as my buddies 1200€ iPhone X. It does the same things, and it didn't break when I dropped it. Unlike the iPhone. Buying Flagship phones is a waste of money IMO.
sasja de vries. A flagship phone usually has an all around better experience, whatever you do. This amazon tablet is probably horrible to use because it's so slow. 177ppi screen wasn't it? You get a headache from reading on that for too long. Why not spend $500 on a flagship phone that lasts longer and will be a all around better experience? Or a little more on a tablet. Somewhat off-topic but IT students who are too lazy to learn how a camera works should change field, immediately. How can you survive in an constantly changing field if you're too lazy to learn how a simple device works?
Don't have root on my hd8 but i installed the play store and the google eco system. I can even make calls from my Google voice app using the hangouts dialer
I got the 🔥 8 2019 version as a freebie. Was so impressed of just being s quad core 2.0 I decided to buy the latest model of the 🔥 HD 10.1 with the OCTA Core 2.0ghz . Used to be very skeptical with Amazon tech devices but since coming across a freebie I've now buy not just 1 but a few more. It is extremely a useable everyday device. Real 1080p with 2 million pixels which usually only big TVs offer that resolution, so having a small screen of only 10 inches and lower is a value buy.
Sideloading Google Play is fairly straightforward. Google it. You need to download and sideload 4 files in order. After that you'll have full access to your Google ecosystem. These are great tablets for kids (like mine). If they break I don't mind, as much.
1. Buy the "With Special Offers" Fire 7
2. Root the device with CWM
3. Install Lineage
4. Enjoy a decent tablet for the price

I got my mom a USED 2014 fire tablet 6 inch, the very first with Alexa(hold button down) She reads, Facebook and Tubi. Runs like a champ and even still gets updates. This was so antique it did not have sd card slot option, so stuck with 6 gig out of 8 space. This thing was thicker too, and more solidly built than a 7. It also had a special product identifying app called Firefly, which was on the phones but not sure it went anywhere else. Got that for 35.00.
Awesome. We are a fire family. First started with the 3g black and white kindle keyboard, which I prefer to those much more expensive paper whites. Have had 7, 8, and 10 fire sticks and TV's and an second gen echo that still works fine.
Just ordered a limited deal 24.99 refurbished fire 7. Cheapest thing I ever seen. Simple, functional, portable.
I am no technophile and specs go over my head. Still, Amazon caters to those too with the 3 gig ram gaming suitable kindle fires.
What a time to be alive. I have become quite keen on these portable systems. I have even made the qlink electronic benefit scepter 8 tablet hum by disabling almost all google stuff.
Anyway simplicity is popular. And with virtually a garage sale price point, even malfunctions or failures are easily refunded and replaced. Things keep getting better too- magnetic charging, remote appliance control...it also, as an avid reader, did not stop printed books. There is audio, digital, more ways to enjoy content than ever before.
And for the inclined, their are rooting methods, fire toolbox, putting on the play store. Option on top of a sea of options.
Just many of the sea of reasons it sells so well.
Could not be happier.
Well done Amazon.
It's cheap, that's why people are buying it.
Yeah, it’s 100% the reason why.
Scythe So they buy it because it’s bad? Are you dumb? 😂😂
@Scythe Fire 7 not Kindle....
Yep that's why I have one,but I can barely use it now after about a year or so it started to freak out.
I still love mine. 😬
Why is Linus buying all the RAM?
Corruption he doesn’t buy it they send it to him
Because he can
conspiracy: the RAM companies aren’t actually doing anything. Linus just felt like creating content for himself.

Thank you for saying ay-lee-x-a so my Alexa didnt go off
Fritz I was wondering if he just didn’t know how to pronounce it. Smart and considerate!
OHH thats why he said it weirdly
Lol
Ye
Thank you for not TRIGGERING our Alexa’s
Savage Beast Haha, I was wondering why he wasn't pronouncing it. Curiosity satisfied. 😁
Triggerddd
Thank you for spelling Alexa instead of saying it! Every time I watch reviews of Amazon products and someone says the trigger word "Alexa" I have the knee-jerk reaction to look to my Echo Device and see if it lights up.
Lol I thought you scared of the word Alexa, but no you just worried alexa wakes up
Maybe you should rethink having one?
NReluctant then mute it
I thought you could change the trigger word???
Just change it to some word you would never use like "antiquing" or something like that.
My use of it...
Installed Google framework.. Installed Google Play.. downloaded my Google Play playlist songs to device via wifi .. use Fire 7 as Bluetooth device for my car stereo and can take calls on my phone without music stopping. Passengers can pass the tablet around to control music instead of aux cords or my phone.
My phone is a hotspot so it connects to Google server at least once every 30 days automatically and I can stream music into it (and download) while my phone is in the car. 20 minute setup for seamless experience
Pretty intuitive, good work
Thanks. Turned a work gift into a convenience device 😀
This tablet is great for the kids or any situation where damage may occur. You can get them even cheaper then $40 on Black Friday and Prime day. The kid case for them is almost the same price as the device which is kind of crazy.
For the love of god don't give your kids a tablet. Give them an og Gameboy first so they can learn some respect for technology.
I have the google play store on my fire tablet and it wasnt hard to get. I also got rid of the adverts on the lock screen for free by contacting an amazon employee. Most of the things you said are fixable and some of them are free
I've done that too😀
Download launcher hijack and you can install your own launcher and get rid of the shitty Amazon launcher with ads.
Yep you can get it close enough to stock android looking
What did you do to get play store on the tablet?

What is iDubbz doing in the intro? xD
ThirtyVirus it's iDubbbz, you can remember this easily by saying "Big Booty Bitchez" .
It's from his "Green Screen Basics" on iDubbbzTV2 channel.
I was wondering the same thing
oh, ty MrrQuackers
Measuring
The HD 10 is also pretty good. I had the 2015 model, and it had some issues, but the 2017 model fixed all of them. It has a great screen, great processor, and it is extremely durable. I actually recommend it!
You can also get the Google Play Store on this relatively easily.
Dude just edit your comment
Got an HD 10 for $110 and with the Google play store properly installed using my FTP server, it is a fantastic tablet.
How’s the lag on yours?
The fire 7 lag is a little too much for me.
Wanted to get the 10 looking at its specs, it seems more powerful but I wasn’t sure if it was good enough.
Recently got the hd10 2017 and after a factory reset to fix a playback issue, everything else seems great
@zach, I rarely run into lag (and i'm sure the only reason why is cause my internet is just crappy)
2:23
Literally everyone:"puzzle games"
Linus: "e-book reading"
Yep I work at a tech shop and bought one for myself cus it was cheap and the specs were decent but most people who wanna buy it consider it a "kids tab"
my aunt's fire tablet (1st gen) still works, her primary use for is videos, facebook, online shopping, puzzle games, reading. EVERYTHING you do waiting at the Doctor's office, the airport, a flight and especially during a power outage (netflix downloads). So yes, totally worth the $
Your aunt is a hottie!
Stop being a tight wad and get her the newer model for her birthday or something. She probably bought you loads of stuff in the past.
Does it have TH-cam
I ordered one of these a few years back when my phone broke and I wanted something to use on the go. It was so much better than I expected for the price, I could take it on long journeys to listen to music and watch movies and also browse social media really easily.
Jonny Rea
Did he just say "ay-le-ex-ay"???
DrShrimpy yes, for a reason. Come on, you can work it out....
He did indeed, guess why
So he didn’t activate it? What do I win?

Some people really appreciate not having every Alexa device around them activate, just because they're watching a video about said assistant.

Buy the tablet then install the play store on it. I got one for reading and internet browsing. Not wow at all, but functional for price.
@Deon Denis in my experience some apps work, others dont
Great disposable device to give to kids, and for taking on trips when I don’t want to risk losing the iPad.
you could just install play store apk (edit: Get Google services framework, Google Play services, Google account manager, and Google Play store)
Lewwds you could but you need Google account manager, Google play services, framework, and play store apk
Then how i'm using PLAYSTORE on My Tab ? :D
It's supposedly possible. Just need a bit of work to make it happen so never got around to do it myself.
Lol i just did it a couple weeks ago, you dont need to root. Just look it up on google
Lewwds I'm on a Hd7 an have Google play(,Not rooted)
a ton of these would have been bought by parents for kids who couldnt care less about the spec, they just wanted a tablet...so a very cheap present that does the job for them..
Kids don't need (and should not have) more than this anyway.
I am definitely going to buy a 40€ tablet for my son.
Even the fact that it's locked down to amazon products is a feature, since it cuts down on things he shouldn't access.
Asterix what kind of content is bad on Google Play but good on Amazon Store? What u say Makes absolutely no sense
Less content is the point of Asteria, hence the "cuts down" part. What u understood Makes absolutely no sense
kids should not even have a tablet in the first place. A cheap phone with basic internet is viable.
@Asteria Just buy more expensive tech and hand it down to your son when you want to upgrade. Sounds easier and better. You can start with the cheap tablet. That's how I would do it
300KP camera 😂😂😂😂😂😂👈
Should just be called VGA.
People that take photos with their tablet don't deserve anything more...
Technology everything major of on Amazon’s part
OverSoft no we need cameras for skype calls.
One fun thing to note about the Fire 7 is the difference between the regular and kid versions is literally just the foam case that surrounds the one. The Fire 7 has built in software to make it "kid friendly" and it can be disabled.
I got two of these from work when the Amazon vendor came in to swap out the display models for a static picture version. He said to just throw them away because Amazon doesn't want them back, so he gave them to me because I didn't want to just toss them. After a bit a research, I learned how to reset it to get it off of the store demo display mode then I ran Fire Toolbox to de-bloat ads and useless apps on one and side-loaded a few apps to it. I'm currently using one of them as a cheap OBD II car scanner because it's just a tad easier to see the app on the larger screen and I don't need a high-spec system to run it. This way I don't risk dropping my phone if I'm working on a car.
The only downside is I can only use one scanner that doesn't have bidirectional support, so I can't diagnose certain things on more modern cars. Maybe one day they'll update the app.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Good for the cats.
Is this a new LinusCatTips video?
MyRookie he really should do a Linus cat tips video featuring this tablet
I would pay to watch LinusCatTips...
WiseSalamander go to the channel then and watch the videos

300 kilopixels is good marketing trick... 1. because in our heads 300 is bigger than 0.3 and 2. because some idiots won't know that mega is bigger than kilo xD
I rooted it and put the play store on it. Makes its 100x better
mexicanmanjohn same
mexicanmanjohn the one I got for my kids came with the play store no rooting
Lol i did it WITHOUT ROOTING it and saved my warranty *like a boss*
girlgreenivy they're actually getting clever and making the new ones unrootable. But you basically just Google it, follow some quick steps, and BOOM any Android app on your Kindle
girlgreenivy on mine I just downloaded google play. It was the Disney version amazon kindle 7 for kids. I’m looking for budget tablet that faster than the kindle though
For those looking into one, I’d HIGHLY recommend upgrading to an HD8. I purchased an HD8 a few years ago and the extra screen size, higher resolution, and greater storage is worth the extra money.
Same I got one and changed the os from fire os to Android os
Fookin' idubbz
Why is this Amazon tablet doing so well on Amazon? Hmmmm...
could it be its 1080p? or maybe because it dosnt have alot of problems? maybe because its connected to your amazon account and elexa? or is it because its FOURTY FUCKEN DOLLARS
I have a fire tablet 10 which is only 60$ more, even then its a very cheap tablet for its capability's, I have no complaints about it
I had an HD10 but it stopped working so I got a Tab A 2018 for 200
and its a 600p screen
HudsonGTV I think it is because people download so many apps. Like games, Netflix or just apps for certain purposes. Like an app for productivity like Forest which I’m not sure you can get on fire 7 tablet. Because it is available through iOS, google play store, and chrome web store.
I got that tablet for free, it was super laggy, but after downgrading the software via adb and using a tool to uninstall all bloatware and installing the play store it is soooo much better. It would be nice to be able to flash a custom, slimmed down rom to take advantage of the garbage specs, but it works pretty well
Wait u mean like apps crashing and shii?
You can install custom firmware if you don't mind rooting.
I found a refurbished 16gb fire 7 on Amazon for 27 bucks. I’m not expecting anything crazy. But, 1 is none and 2 is one, so having it to compliment my iPad (that I use for work) will be at the vary least interesting.
We all have them in our house. I don't use mine that much as I have a good phone and a good laptop but the wife and kids love them. It's all about media consumption.
presterjohn71 I have one that defective but just enough where I didn’t send it back, if you tilt the screen you can see light bleeding threw the edge of the display and the screen is judding out a little bit so every time I pick it up it makes a creaking bending plasticy noise...
Media consumption in standard definition though? Eww!
presterjohn71 no TH-cam app
XgamerdaveX exactly my phone is 1080p min
Who cares about 1080p when the screen is so small you can't tell anyways. People who consume media on a phone screen have the lowest standards anyways. People arguing about 1080p 5" vs 720p 7" is like console fanboys arguing about 960p 60Hz vs 1080p 50Hz. All shit when you can have 4k on a big screen where you don't have to strain your eyes to make out details.
This is actually quite amazing for twitch streamers and those who need a portable screen to monitor statistics or data such as plant managers, stock brookers, data analysts etc.
Pretty useful too as a mobile house remote to control a smart home lol
Kyle Li AliExpress, for like $15 more you can have 1080p and a decent processor/RAM combo...
P o r n
Jason F Amazon F I R E S E V E N
So basically you are saying that someone like Bobby Axelrod could use it. Imagine how funny he would look coming to work with such a shitty tablet lol
Kyle Li ugh , no . don't make excuses for this product . and no your not going to use that device to monitor anything in refineries. That's done through company provided devices and locked software. I'm talking and out Huntsman , total , Exxon mobile , arkima, martin, arlanxio, flint hills , Lucite, motiva, aire liquide. None of these companies would let that device near their facilities . its not 'intrinsically safe' , and a device that's not rated as such won't be used by these companies.
Best selling tablet on amazon is a tablet made by amazon... Hmmmm

@@coolguyvideos599 lol
its probably because its $70 and no one else has the same feature set for that amount of money

I have one and I love it! I use it for videos, movies, books, and music. It’s a pretty great deal if that is all you a wanting a tablet for. I definitely recommend it to everyone!!
Do not listen to this person. Buy the iPad or a Samsung or anything else. A tablet is no use if it freezes Opening a single application. No issues like storage yet it freezes because the ram is tiny and the software is crap. Do not buy it DO NOT.

I got the fire hd 8 for reading and simple tasks and I love it. ALSO. Putting the Google play store on these is pretty simple.
I have a couple of low-end 7" tablets (Galaxy 3 7" & an Acer something-or-other) that I use to run the app that controls my digital audio mixer (XR18). They also both work well as GPS units. For these purposes (and not much else) they are a great value. I'd imagine the Fire 7 would be as capable.
I got mine 2 weeks ago for $18 on Amazon. Then I turned it into a Android Tablet with a cool free software & it runs so smoothly, with a functional PlayStore 🔥
I have this and I regret not getting a tablet with ANDROID OS. Amazons os is still nice but Teamviewer doesn't work with it -_-).
You can get google play to work on this but it'll get all glitchy and shit.
Decent for porn though I guess, if that's your thing.
Porn in Standard Definition?! Eww, 720p at the very least.
You sinful people.
Danger Dan Leave us alone 😖

The Google Play Store isn't blotchy
Sinful and proud of it.
I'm really surprised you didn't mention the data collection aspect of it as well. Among other things, Fire tablets have a "collect usage data" switch turned on by default, collecting data about how often and how long you run your apps. In exchange, some apps are actually available at no charge.
This, combined with the lock screen ads, makes me feel uneasy about these devices. That's why I highly suggest rooting and installing the Google Play Store to get rid of the bloat, ads, and tracking in exchange for a purer Android experience.
MarioMan you can't root it
You realize Google, Apple, Facebook and others do this too?
Griffin S I'm not explicitly aware of any of these other companies that actively collect and send app usage statistics from their OS to their servers without you first explicitly opting in. Individual apps, yes, but the OS as a whole, no. If you know of specific instances, I'd be really interested in hearing about it.
For instance Apple, as far as I'm aware, only has an opt-in option to send crash reports, not actual usage reports. Crash reports are also anonymized by the device before it ever sees an Apple server.
GBCAwesome same man. I haven't had success rooting this thing either.
GBCAwesome Thanks. I didn't think so. I've got an old 5th gen Fire that I rooted a couple of years ago, and rooting was the only way to remove the lock screen ads without paying the upgrade fee. It also allowed me to replace Amazon's launcher with Nova. If a new root technique does come to light, I highly suggest taking advantage of it before the tablet auto-updates.
Bought it on Black Friday at $30 for reading E books. Totally Worth the price.
Fires are basically the Chromebooks of tablets. Made to be rugged and affordable for basic, day to day tasks
Mad props for using the Idubbbz green screen!

Naw, it's already a loss-leader for Amazon.
I think it is about getting Amazon services in front of as many people as possible. They don't mind losing money on these because they can tie average consumers into using Amazon services.
hello brother
Don't worry, the price won't increase no matter what cuz no one would buy it if it costed more.
But, they could run out of stock.

@@djzrobzombie2813 racist
My friend owns a Amazon Fire 7 tablet, and I use it at some times. Here's the pros and cons.
Pros:
-Has a microsd slot to compensate for low storage
-Comes with the addition of a voice command system (Alexa)
-Surprisingly great with some high-demand games, like infinite flight
-Durable and sturdy
-Has a function to sideload the play store (can be found how to do online)
Cons:
-Sharp edges
-Poor camera, and you'll need to be standing very still for a decent shot
-Very low storage space
-Takes sometime to charge, around an hour and half
-...but the battery dies in the same time it takes to charge
Neutral:
-Bezels are between medium and large, but at least when you want to watch something with a good grip, it won't block out the screen
-Screen is decent enough for all purposes. None are better or worse than the other
-Colour selection isn't that wide, but it's better than some tablets that offer only 2 colours
-Not the best tablet you can find, but the best one you can get for the price, especially at discounts that bank it down to $30
Overall, I'd give this tablet a pass. But just.
Question about battery. How much were you using it and what were you using it for? I have a growing digital book/comic book collection and people have recommended this to me as an alternative to my Kindle (which doesn't have color) but if what you said about how it holds a charge is true it sounds like it might not be the best thing
Thank you for spelling alexa out and not triggering our entire smart homes
Thanks for explaining, I figured it was a legal thing.
It's one of the easiest tablets to root and remove all Amazon Android and just put stock Android on it. Plus if you lose it break it is 40 was 20 on Black Friday deals
In that case it's decent deal but you know, this tablet is for "kids", tech-llamas and worst enemies so for them rooting process is basically the unicorn magic and that's the problem. Because yes, you have a choice to change the Hell of Amazon to something "decent" but you don't know about it when you are not tech-geek and when you are then you stay away from whatever brand does "ads on the lock screen" because it scream "CONSUMER TRAP" all over it. So the people who knows are staying away from these products unless they really need them for some specific thingy and the rest is in the consumers hell and there is nothing we can do unless you want to put there with the ads some video tutorial on how to root the tablet.
Don't worry you are not missing much. With the specs of this device you are better off leaving Amazons version of android on these tablets. Custom Roms that will work on this device are not nearly as optimized as OEM Roms, Amazon doesn't give out source code, so the kindle compatible Roms are nothing more than hacks and shims. On the other hand if you have a extremely powerful device, custom Roms are fantastic especially when source code is in fact available.
from experience, this tablet performs better than my smartphone in most cases.
What do you have? An old Samsung Galaxy from 2011? Maybe it's optimization.
@LinkKing631 yea my old phone was even worse
I like how you spelled "Alexa" at 1:48
hehe.
B N if someone (or you) wonders, it's just so your alexa doesn't get triggered (hehe).
I was thinking the same thing! ;) You don't want to inadvertently release the A-L-E-X-A kraken. She might start recording your conversation... ;) :P
I heard I-X-A which is how you speel the name of a TV hero lol
*THAT’S QUITE BIG*
Why would you buy this of amazon instead of Aliexpress? You can get similar specs for similar prices without the amazon crap.
My view of the low specs: there are actually a lot of people who buy the flagship phone to only stream music, read messages, call people, and occasionally look up something. Looking up weather forecasts and agenda appointments in hd is just a waste.
I have seen IT students who only take pictures with whatsapp because their flagship phone camera has too many settings and they don't feel like figuring out how it works. I have seen arts students who only take pictures with auto settings. Those are the people who should care, right?
The fact is: most people don't need all these new features. Not just some but MOST people! A lot of people buy a flagship to show off, because they just want to have a good thing, because they appreciate the effort put into it, because they want some performance to spare so that they know it's gonna work.
sasja de vries. Link?
Warranty, timely delivery.
My 160€ Moto G5 came with the same warranty as my buddies 1200€ iPhone X. It does the same things, and it didn't break when I dropped it. Unlike the iPhone. Buying Flagship phones is a waste of money IMO.
sasja de vries. A flagship phone usually has an all around better experience, whatever you do. This amazon tablet is probably horrible to use because it's so slow. 177ppi screen wasn't it? You get a headache from reading on that for too long. Why not spend $500 on a flagship phone that lasts longer and will be a all around better experience? Or a little more on a tablet.
Somewhat off-topic but IT students who are too lazy to learn how a camera works should change field, immediately. How can you survive in an constantly changing field if you're too lazy to learn how a simple device works?

I got the 🔥 8 2019 version as a freebie. Was so impressed of just being s quad core 2.0 I decided to buy the latest model of the 🔥 HD 10.1 with the OCTA Core 2.0ghz . Used to be very skeptical with Amazon tech devices but since coming across a freebie I've now buy not just 1 but a few more. It is extremely a useable everyday device. Real 1080p with 2 million pixels which usually only big TVs offer that resolution, so having a small screen of only 10 inches and lower is a value buy.

Sideloading Google Play is fairly straightforward. Google it. You need to download and sideload 4 files in order. After that you'll have full access to your Google ecosystem. These are great tablets for kids (like mine). If they break I don't mind, as much.
The HD8 was £50 in the UK and I installed the proper play store on it. Amazing deal really.
Got mine for £35... amazing deal.
