The new 12th-gen Fire 7 tablet has been upgraded from the previous model with a quad-core processor. And according to Amazon, this new processor is 30% faster than what’s on its predecessor. Furthermore, it comes with double the RAM (2GB) of its predecessor. One thing we can expect from the new Fire 7 tablet with these upgrades is that there will be a smoother experience with multitasking.
One of the few downsides of Amazon’s Fire tablet over the years is its battery life. The new Fire 7 tablet, however, comes with improved battery life. Amazon says the new tablet comes with a battery that will keep you going for up to 10 hours – a 40% improvement over the last Fire 7 tablet released in 2019.
To support that, Amazon has also ditched the micro USB port on the old Fire 7 tablet for the USB-C charging port for the new Fire 7 tablet.
