Today, Amazon (AMZN) unveiled a brand new Fire 7 tablet that promises longer battery life and a USB-C charging port. According to Amazon, the new Fire 7 tablet’s upgraded battery lasts approximately 10 hours, with an estimated charging time of 4 hours.
Not only is the new Fire 7 tablet designed to last longer, it’s also 30 percent faster thanks to the inclusion of a quad-core 2.0 GHz processor and 2GB of RAM. Storage wise, the base version has 16GB and owners can add up to 1TB in additional storage via microSD. There’s also a 32GB version.
Other options include whether you want the Fire 7 tablet with an ad-supported lockscreen, or a lockscreen without ads. If you don’t want lockscreen ads, you’ll need to pay a bit more than the $59.99 base price, with the ad-free lockscreen version priced at $74.99.
And if you’re shopping for a tablet for your kids, there’s a Fire 7 Kids model for $109.99 that includes a durable case and a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ on offer as well. Visually, the new Fire 7 tablet features a 1024 x 600 (141 ppi) resolution screen, and as its name suggests, offers a 7” display.
If you’re looking to upgrade, the new Fire 7 tablet starts at $59.99 with pre-orders available starting today, and orders beginning to ship out on June 29.
