The power button and volume rocker is on the rear, audio jack is on the right side and microUSB is on the left.

Kindle Fire HDX7 is powered with Qualcomm 2.2GHz quad core processor with 2GB memory and 16/32/64 variant internal storage space. It does not have the SD card slot. It comes preloaded with Android Jelly Bean operating system. It does not have a Google play store to download android apps, but instead it has the Amazon Appstore. It has a 1.3 MP rear camera and no secondary camera for video calling which somewhat is a negative point keeping in mind that tablets are perfect for video calling. The battery is good to give talk time of up to 11 hours.

The A7 has some advantages and disadvantages to offer when compared with other tablets available within the same price range.

It weighs heavy (327g) when compared with other tablets of the same segment. The power button and volume rocker is on the right with audio jack and Micro USB on the top. Overall the screen is not up to the mark when compared with the price at which it is being offered.
