Powerful quad-core processor up to 1.5 GHz

The new quad-core processor consists of two high-performance 1.5 GHz cores and two lower-power 1.2 GHz cores running simultaneously for optimal load balancing and power efficiency. With over 2x the speed and over 3X the graphics performance of the previous-generation Fire HD, the new quad-core processor ensures faster app launch times, smooth games and videos, and better overall performance.

Beautiful 7" HD display

Fire HD 7 features a 1280x800 high-definition LCD display with over one million pixels (216 ppi) and an improved colour gamut leading to more vibrant colours, a brighter display and whiter whites. Enjoy a great viewing experience at even the widest angles through an innovative combination of IPS (in-plane switching) technology, an advanced polarising filter, and anti-glare technology.

Virtual surround sound with Dolby Audio

Fire HD 7 with dual stereo speakers is noticeably louder than single-speaker tablets, while still delivering crisp, clear audio without distortion. Innovative Dolby Audio technology emulates a 5.1 multi-channel sound field that dynamically adjusts volume to audio content creating powerful virtual surround sound and easier-to-understand dialogue in films and TV shows.

Incredible reliability

With durable Gorilla Glass and rigorous reliability testing, our Fire HD tablets are extremely reliable.

Unique profiles for each family member

Create unique profiles for up to 2 adults and 4 children so family members can share a tablet and still keep personalised settings such as e-mail and social accounts, home screen carousel, and even their own level in Angry Birds.

Share content with your family

Coming soon—With Family Library, link two Amazon accounts so you can easily access shared content and Prime Instant Video benefits across all your Amazon devices.

Revolutionary parental controls with Amazon FreeTime

Amazon FreeTime allows parents to create a profile for each of their children and choose what books, apps, games and videos they want to give their kids access to. Also, it's easy to set daily limits for tablet use or restrict certain categories—such as games and video—while leaving unlimited time for reading. When kids use Amazon FreeTime, it's like they have their very own personalised tablet.

Immediate video start with ASAP

New—No more waiting for a video to buffer every time you hit "Play." ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction) learns what movies and shows you like and gets them ready for you to watch. The more you view videos on your Fire tablet, the more accurate ASAP becomes, dynamically adapting to your viewing habits.

X-Ray for movies and TV

Powered by IMDb, X-Ray for movies and TV can instantly show which actors are currently on screen, jump to other movies in which they star and more.

Watch on the big screen

Fling movies and TV shows from your tablet to your big-screen TV using Second Screen. This turns your TV into the primary screen, freeing up your Fire tablet to provide playback controls, a customized display for X-Ray, or simply be a place to email, browse the web, and more while you watch a movie. Second Screen is available for Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Samsung TVs.

All-new Fire OS 4 "Sangria"

Fire OS 4 "Sangria" starts with Android and adds a customer-friendly user interface, unlimited Cloud storage for Amazon content and photos taken on your Fire device, the latest productivity apps, and enhanced platform integrations so you can seamlessly access a massive selection of digital content—over 33 million movies, TV shows, songs, books, and Android apps and games.

Unmatched entertainment ecosystem

Fire OS 4 integrates our newest services including ASAP. Second Screen headphone integration lets you watch Amazon Instant Video on a compatible, big-screen TV with headphones plugged into your tablet so you can enjoy the movie in virtual surround sound with Dolby Audio. Second Screen is available for Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Samsung TVs.

Great for families

Includes new and improved features made just for families. Create profiles for up to two adults and four children so family members can share a tablet and still keep personalised settings such as e-mail and social accounts, home screen carousel, and even their own level in Angry Birds. With Family Library available later this year, link two Amazon accounts so you can easily share apps, games and books, and coming soon, Prime Instant Video, without sharing a device or logging into and out of accounts. Amazon FreeTime 3.0 will include Teen Profiles for kids aged 8-13.

Increased power efficiency

Optimised to be fast and fluid by introducing new features including Touch Boost to automatically increase the performance of the CPU. FirePower with SmartSuspend learns when to turn off wireless connectivity and maximise standby battery life.
