There’s also a new Kids Edition version which has a new bumper case with a built-in stand for watching videos hands-free.
When is the 2019 Fire 7 release date?

You’ll also be able to buy the Fire 7 from Argos, Dixons, John Lewis, Tesco, very.co.uk and littlewoods.co.uk where it will also be £49.99. Cases come in Black, Sage, Plum, Twilight Blue and Desert Orange and cost half as much as the tablet itself at £24.99 / $24.99 each.
What are the new features?
Twice as much storageBetter front cameraNew colours
Just as there were only minor differences between the original and 2017 model in terms of hardware, the same is true of the 2019 update. The “all-new” Fire 7 is basically the same as before, but offers 16- or 32GB of storage rather than 8- or 16GB. There’s still a microSD slot for expanding storage and it now supports up to 512GB cards, rather than 256GB before.
Kids Edition 2019
The new Kids Edition tablets gets the same 2Mp selfie camera, but storage remains fixed at 16GB just as with the previous 7-inch Kids Edition. But you can still add a microSD card up to 512GB for extra space. The bumper case comes in pink, blue and purple, but all the other Kids Edition benefits remain the same as before
