Those battery-saving tricks haven’t been brought down to cheap tablets, or at least these ones.

Most modern Android devices, including phones and tablets, have stellar standby runtimes when you just leave them to sit around. The Fire 7 and Onn tablets have incredibly short standby lifespans. What’s worse than bad battery life when you’re using the tablet is bad battery life when you aren’t. I experienced similar results with the Onn tablet. I could see the battery life dropping even while I browsed around the Fire 7’s home screen. Watching a 23-minute episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion on the Fire 7 dropped the battery percentage by about 20 percent. Both feature awkwardly placed speakers (along the plastic edge of the Fire 7, and on the rear of the Onn tablet) that are weak and sound muffled.ĭependable battery life is lacking in both tablets. And whether you’re chatting or watching a movie, make sure that you use headphones with either tablet.

Onn’s camera quality looks worse than my first flip phone. Its cameras aren’t great, though it’s a night and day difference compared to the Onn tablet. If you plan to video chat on a tablet, the Amazon Fire 7 is the clear winner. Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge You can easily find glass screen protectors for the Fire 7 that have this coating, though the Onn tablet isn’t popular enough to have its own bespoke accessories. Get used to polishing them with a microfiber cloth every time you use them. Neither of these tablet screens utilize an oleophobic coating, meaning that you’ll smudge them up with even the most brief and careful swipes and touches. Onn’s 8-inch, 1200 x 800 LCD display looks slightly better than Amazon’s smaller 1024 x 600 LCD display, though both look washed out in terms of color accuracy. The screens on these tablets are pixelated and grainy. This isn’t surprising, given their low prices, but it’s still disappointing to encounter them.

Amazon’s tablet venture has spanned several generations at this point, and following Apple’s practices, Fire OS software is made exclusively for Amazon’s tablets and streaming sticks.īoth the Onn and Fire 7 are clumsy in the hardware department. It’s not surprising that the Fire 7 is a more polished experience than Onn’s. Not just that, it’s more responsive to touch, as well. However, the Fire 7 feels a little faster, likely due to its pared-down version of Android. Onn’s tablet rises above Amazon’s Fire 7 by offering access to any app you can get in the Google Play Store (including Google’s own apps), and the $15 premium is well worth the cost if accessing those apps is vital. Onn has Android 9 Pie, with an unforgivable Walmart nav button If you have an Amazon Prime membership, using one of these tablets is a good way to take better advantage of it. At the very least, it’s effective at putting all of your Amazon content front and center, whether it be ebooks, Audible audiobooks, or Prime Video. It is possible to side-load Google’s apps to the Fire 7, if you’re willing to do the legwork and accept the security implications, but most people won’t want to do that and I’m evaluating this tablet on what it can do with the services included.Īpp scarcity aside, the user interface on the Fire 7 will take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to stock Android (software that closely matches Google’s original Android design), or iOS. No Google support out of the box will be a deal-breaker for a lot of people, even if you’re entrenched in Amazon’s services.

It’s too early to tell if the bridge will extend to Amazon’s cheap tablets.

The Google app situation may improve in the future, since Google and Amazon patched up a dispute that will bring YouTube to Fire TV devices in exchange for Amazon’s Prime Video getting Chromecast support.
