Interestingly, Amazon Prime subscribers can only score these exclusive offers through Sunday, July 10, which suggests better deals may well come on July 12. Either that or the new and vastly improved Fire 7 will get its first-ever discounts next week together with refreshed (and possibly upgraded) Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 sales.
The 2019-released Fire 7 slate, mind you, is not… very impressive by any stretch of the imagination, packing a terribly modest 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, and up to 7 hours of battery life that its 2022 sequel takes to the next level with ease.
But the hands-free Alexa assistance should be enough to at least make you consider this compact oldie if you’re on a (really) tight budget this summer. There’s also a microSD card slot and a headphone jack, not to mention a charger in the box and access to Amazon’s Google Play-rivaling Appstore.
