It’s about that time for a Kindle Fire upgrade, and it seems Amazon is on it already. Specs of the next-generation Kindle Fire series have been leaked, and they’re a doozy.
Kindle Fire lineup will come packing with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processors clocked at “around” 2GHz, which seems like overkill for the Kindle Fire
The tablets are also said to pack in 2GB of RAM, which certainly seems feasible — it’s mainly the Snapdragon 800 that we’re mostly surprised about. The 800 is usually reserved for top-tier, expensive products, and while the Kindle Fire is Amazon’s flagship lineup, we’re curious as to how Amazon will keep the cost down of the tablets, as that is one of their main selling points.
However, seeing as how Qualcomm wants to push its Snapdragon 800 processor to “virtually every global OEM” within the next few months, it could make sense that Amazon would be one of those companies picking up the new chip for their tablets.
Earlier this month, we heard that the new Kindle Fires would be receiving display upgrades as well, with the Kindle Fire HD getting an impressive 1920×1200 resolution while still keeping the screen size at 7 inches.
However, the current 8.9-inch tablet already sports a 1920×1200 resolution, but it’s said that this version will be bumped up to 2560×1600, which would take on the iPad and the Nexus 10, but with a way better pixel density.
