However, to justify having a product for 4 years minimum it had to have the performance to match the lifespan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Amazon Fire 7 has a 7\" screen, 16GB of storage and a fairly impressive 7 hours of battery life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-545-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-545-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-545-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>On top of the Fire 7 itself it is well worth subscribing to the fire for Kids unlimited<\/p>\n<p>This gives your children unlimited access to free movies games, books and educational apps. This also give you a wider range of Parental control with some really clever features.<\/p>\n<p>The product starts from \u00a31.99 per month but the highest price is \u00a33.99 per month per child<\/p>\n<p>You can click the banner to find more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-545-1-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-545-1-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/rcm-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?o=2&p=22&l=ur1&category=fireforkidsunlimitedv2&banner=1PPF1X6YXR7C242J8T82&f=ifr&linkID=aa8a4315be9e97506c27faefb3363bb0&t=fiveminutes09-21&tracking_id=fiveminutes09-21\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" scrolling=\"no\" border=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-545-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-545-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-545-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Tips for using the Amazon Fire 7<\/h3>\n<p>My first tip is to make sure you get an SD card to support the 16GB storage. If your child is anythng like mine, they will fill up the storage in no time, not just with apps but also photos and videos.<\/p>\n<p>Second tip, make full use of the parental controls. They are very usefull for limiting play time and shutting down at bed times automatically. These setting can also be easily overidden for when you may be travelling late at night.<\/p>\n<p>Last tip, don't even tell the kids that cover is removeable. Our fire has been dropped, kicked, spilt on and has taken a tumble down the stairs. The case makes the Fire built to last and is very durable. so make the most of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-545-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-545-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-545-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=GB&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=fiveminutes09-21&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=GB&amp;placement=B07H926LKX&amp;asins=B07H926LKX&amp;linkId=973e9fd38ac7a100a053fd63775b1b1f&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-545-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-545-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=GB&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=fiveminutes09-21&marketplace=amazon&region=GB&placement=B07H8XTGFN&asins=B07H8XTGFN&linkId=fd46678c73bda0dd2d02daf7273c0b3d&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-545-4\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-545-4-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-545-4-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Full spec list for Amazon Fire 7<\/h3>\n<div class=\"a-section a-text-center\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-base\">\n<div>\n<p>Fire 7 Kids Edition<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/rcm-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/cm?o=2&p=48&l=ur1&category=kids_edition_tablet&banner=1FQBDFTY25K0D408BE82&f=ifr&linkID=c85aff416e5b31e2cb7755082b19d501&t=fiveminutes09-21&tracking_id=fiveminutes09-21\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" scrolling=\"no\" border=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a-section\">\n<div class=\"a-row\">\n<div class=\"a-column a-span6\">\n<table id=\"tech-specs-table-left\" class=\"a-bordered tech-spec-theme\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"a-text-bold\">Display<\/td>\n<td>7\u201d touchscreen, 1024 x 600 resolution at 171 ppi, SD video playback, with IPS (in-plane switching) technology and advanced polarising filter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"a-text-bold\">Size<\/td>\n<td>220 x 161 x 25.8 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"a-text-bold\">Weight<\/td>\n<td>456 g.<br \/>\n<em>Actual size and weight may vary by configuration and manufacturing process.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"a-text-bold\">CPU &amp; RAM<\/td>\n<td>Quad-core: 1.3 GHz, with 1 GB of RAM<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"a-text-bold\">Storage<\/td>\n<td>16 GB (9.4 GB available to user) of internal storage.
