Amazon Fire 7 Tablet Just Dropped to $29
Update Nov. 2019: Follow our coverage of the best Black Friday deals and best Cyber Monday deals for the 2019 season.
Amazon's least expensive tablet is now cheaper than ever. The retail giant is slashing the price of the Fire 7 Tablet down to $30 during its Black Friday Week sale.
This is the same deal we saw last year and it remains the lowest price ever. The Fire 7 retails at $50, so you'll save a hefty 40 percent. In our review of the 7-inch tablet, we were smitten with its solid build quality and the low price you pay to gain access to Amazon services.
If you need more power than what the Fire 7 Tablet offers, Amazon is also selling the Fire HD 8 for just $50, down from $80.
Compared to the Fire 7, the Fire HD 8 has a higher-resolution display, more RAM and twice the storage capacity. Because it has a larger 8-inch display, the HD 8 isn't as compact as its budget counterpart, but the extra real estate allowed Amazon to pack in more powerful stereo speakers. In the end, it's the Fire HD 8's colorful display and good camera quality that earned it our 4-star rating.
