You wouldn’t know it was Android except for a few similarities such as the way you swipe down from the top to see the shortcut tray and notifications. With a multi-core score of 515, it’s a way behind budget phones such as the Samsung Galaxy A13 (which scored 585), which we also criticised for being too slow.

It isn’t a deal-breaker: it’s what you get when you spend $60/£60 on a tablet.īenchmarks such as Geekbench 5 confirm that the newcomer is roughly 30% quicker, which puts it on a par with the Fire HD 8 that uses the same processor and RAM. The screen will go grey and an orange circle will spin for a few seconds before it appears. Scrolling and navigating around Fire OS 8 is a relatively smooth and responsive experience, but you soon begin to notice the lack of pace when you tap on an app. Not a whole lot more, mind: Amazon says it’s 30% faster which sounds good, but the Fire 7 has always been described as sluggish and the increased firepower doesn’t do a lot to change that. With a 2GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM, the 2022 Fire 7 has more grunt than its predecessor. It offers no water resistance, so although it’ll probably survive the odd splash of water, it can’t be submersed.
