MagyarKindle Fire HD to get hardware updates
Amazon's Kindle Fire HD may not be as successful as its competitors from Samsung or Apple, but that doesn't mean it won't receive any new updates as new hardware becomes available. While not official yet, it seems the next generation Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablet is already being benchmarked.
The first results of what seems to be the updated Kindle Fire HD have been spotted recently on GFXBench. Two new Amazon tablets have been benchmarked and their codenames are rather cryptic - KFAPWA and KFTHWI. The first two letters of these names could be pointing at Kindle Fire. The main features are these:
- CPU: 2.15 GHz Snapdragon 800
- Display: unknown, could be 8.9-inch or more
- Memory/Storage: 2 GB; 16/32/64 GB
- OS: Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean customized by Amazon
If analyzed carefully, the information provided by GFXBench can reveal the fact that two different Kindle Fire HD tablets are under development. The main difference between the two is their resolution, the KFTHWI offering only 1,920X1,600, while the KFAPWA goes as high as 2,560X1,600.
If the above proves to be true, Amazon may release a 8.9-inch and a 10.1-inch Kindle Fire HD. Unfortunately, nothing is official yet and a lot can change until the official announcement of this new Amazon tablet.
