if you look at the specs u see the cheaper one is actually the newer one because of the 3GB of ram. also you can tell it's the newer one because it has the new design.
so yeah.. in this case, for some reason, the old one (2020 version) is 99 and the new one (2021) is 79.. def get the 79$ one since it's the 2021
also if you're thinking about getting the 10".. i'd highly recommend getting the PLUS version from best buy.. it's 110$ right now. it has 4GB of RAM
Bad advice. Old one has a much better screen easier on the eyes. New one doesn't even have a film to make swiping smooth. You feel like you're swiping on countertop and all finger greese scraped off on to the screen. It has better speakers though. Cpus are roughly the same.
Is it possible to make the interface on these look like the old Fire from around 2013? My wife's reader of around that vintage is just about on its last legs, but she doesn't like the new UI.
Not interested even for free unless I can sell it I guess. Done with the many frustrations of Fire Tablets.
Agreed … these things are not worth the hassle. It would be for a reader in the family a little cousin. She would use it only for that.
But yes these things are not worth the hassle.
I bought two of these from QVC like half a year ago for $55 each with a case and offers included, it's obviously lacking processing power but for video consumption it's fine. Since I'm working from home I just have it on my desk playing YouTube or random videos, used Fire Tool to get rid of Amazon stuff and use Microsoft launcher. It won't wow you but for $40 it's a good deal.

Newer doesn't mean better.

Wtf do you expect from a $50 tablet? It's fine for kids or just video consumption on an 8 inch screen instead of your 6 inch phone.
