Kindle Fire Tablet With Question Mark
Kindle Fire Tablet With Question Mark

If you received a Kindle Fire tablet as a gift, won it in a giveaway, or even if you purchased it from Amazon you may not know which one you have.

That's okay, you're not alone, I've had several site visitors ask me how they can tell which Kindle Fire tablet they have.

And here is where I show you how.



Kindle Fire Tablets: Beginning - Present

There are currently 27 different Kindle Fire tablets, if you don't count the kids editions or tablets that used to come with a 4G version, which I don't*.

Here's a list of each device in order from the year it was first released, to help answer the question "Which Kindle Fire do I own?":

  • 2011 - Kindle Fire 7" (First Generation**)
  • 2012 - Kindle Fire 7" (Second Generation)
  • 2012 - Kindle Fire HD 7" (Second Generation)
  • 2012 - Kindle Fire HD 8.9" (Second Generation; 4G option)
  • 2013 - Kindle Fire HD 7" (Third Generation)
  • 2013 - Kindle Fire HDX 7" (Third Generation; 4G option)
  • 2013 - Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" (Third Generation; 4G option)
  • 2014 - Kindle Fire HD 6" (Fourth Generation)
  • 2014 - Kindle Fire HD 7" (Fourth Generation)
  • 2014 - Kindle Fire HDX 8.9" (Fourth Generation; 4G option)
  • 2015 - Kindle Fire 7" (Fifth Generation)
  • 2015 - Kindle Fire HD 8" (Fifth Generation)
  • 2015 - Kindle Fire HD 10" (Fifth Generation)
  • 2016 - Kindle Fire HD 8" (Sixth Generation)
  • 2017 - Kindle Fire 7" (Seventh Generation)
  • 2017 - Kindle Fire HD 8" (Seventh Generation)
  • 2017 - Kindle Fire HD 10" (Seventh Generation)
  • 2018 - Kindle Fire HD 8" (Eighth Generation)
  • 2019 - Kindle Fire 7" (Ninth Generation)
  • 2019 - Kindle Fire HD 10" (Ninth Generation)
  • 2020 - Kindle Fire HD 8" (Tenth Generation)
  • 2020 - Kindle Fire HD 8" Plus (Tenth Generation)
  • 2021 -  Fire HD 10 (Eleventh Generation)
  • 2021 - Fire HD 10 Plus (Eleventh Generation)
  • 2022 - Fire 7 Tablet AND Fire HD 8 (Twelfth Generation) 
  • 2023 - All-New Fire Max 11 (13th Generation)
  • 2023 - All-New Fire HD 10 (13th Generation)

"But which Kindle Fire tablet do I have?" you ask. Well, let me show you.

*I don't count Kids Edition tablets in the total count since they're basically the tablets from the same year but with a specific amount of memory, a cover, and a few other minor customizations.

Mini Kindle Fire Exclamation Point

Kindle Fire generations

**A few years ago Amazon changed the way they label each generation- they're now based on the year a tablet was released. The count starts with the first Kindle Fire  (2011) which is 1st generation. The next year's tablets (Kindle Fire 2012) are ALL 2nd generation, the third year (2013) are 3rd generation, the fourth year (2014) are 4th generation, and the fifth year (2015) are 5th generation, etc.


Kindle Fire Tablet Infographic (OUTDATED!)

Update: Unfortunately, this infographic hasn't been updated for a few years. It was too hard to keep fitting in more and more Kindle Fire generations being added every year. Also, the Kindle Fires from the last few years have all been VERY similar, making it hard to tell them apart unless you use the info given in the next section below. So I suggest you see that instead.

Which Kindle Fire do I own?

There are a few simple ways to discover which Kindle Fire you have. For fun I created this fabulous infographic (yes, I think it is fabulous- it took me hours to make and hours to update every time new tablets are released).

This lovely flowchart asks you questions, you answer yes or no, and it shows you which Kindle Fire you have. (I rock!)

Just click the image below to see the EXTRA LARGE version of this beautiful infographic! (You'll probably need to zoom in to read all the details.)

Infographic: Which Kindle Fire Tablet Do I Have?

LAST UPDATED 04/2016

Due to Amazon coming out with new tablets ever year, there have been a few versions of this infographic.

Version 4: Current Version!

Version 3.5: Updated with new generation labels.

Version 3: Added 2014 tablets

Version 2: Added 2013 tablets

Version 1: Original infographic


Know Which Kindle Fire You Have: Device Model

The FASTEST and EASIEST way to figure out which tablet you have is checking the actual device model in your tablet's settings. Kindle Fire tablets from 2013 and newer have the setting that tells you which model you have.

Slide down the quick menu and tap "Settings" then tap "Device Options".

On this screen if you look near the bottom you'll see "Device Model" and under that you should see which Kindle Fire model and generation you have.

Mini Exclamation Poin

Amazon labels their Kindle Fire generations based on which year the device was released.

The first year they created the Kindle Fire (2011) is the 1st generation.

The second year (2012) they created newer Kindle Fires and labeled them Kindle Fire 2nd generation.

The third year (2013) are called 3rd generation, fourth year (2014) are 4th generation, etc.


How to Know Which Kindle Fire You Have: Kindle Fire Specs

Another way to know which tablet you have is to check the Kindle Fire specs and then determine which year your tablet was released.

First, look through Amazon's technical specifications for each Kindle Fire (below) and find which physical features your tablet has.

Second, some versions of the Kindle Fire are the same physically on the outside. Once you narrow down the possibilities, you'll need to determine the year of your tablet, which I'll explain below under the Kindle Fire specs.

Notes about features:

  • To know the size of your Kindle Fire screen measure from the inside viewing pane from opposite corners, don't include the outside border that is a dark black. There are several sizes depending on which model you have. You should have either a 6", 7", 8", 8.9", or 10" screen.
  • If your Kindle Fire can connect to the Internet without Wi-Fi it has 4G capability. You can tell if your tablet has this option by sliding down the top menu, select "Wireless", and if you see the "Mobile Network" option then your device has 4G.

Determining the Year Your Kindle Fire Was Released

Alright! With the Kindle Fire specs above, you should either know exactly which Kindle Fire you have, or have it narrowed down to two possibilities.

If you've narrowed it down but still aren't sure, take a look at the unlock tab on your screen (the one that comes up when you first turn on your Kindle Fire):

  • If the unlock tab is a solid yellow-orange arrow, it was released in 2011 and would be the Kindle Fire 1st generation
  • If the unlock tab is closer to the bottom right corner of the screen with a lock symbol, it was released in 2012
  • If the unlock tab is closer to the middle and center of the screen with a lock symbol, it was released in 2013
  • If the unlock tab is a tiny arrow head pointing left, it was released in either 2013 or 2014 (see my important note below)
  • If the unlock tab is a solid gray lock (no key hole) at the bottom center, then your tablet is a 2015, 2016, or 2017 or later


Your Kindle Fire Tablet

Alright, now you should know which Kindle Fire tablet you own and how Kindle Fire generations are labeled!

That's pretty much all there is to it... until Amazon comes out with even MORE versions the next year. *gulp*

I ♥ My Fire!
