The first $50 USD Amazon Fire tablet arrived almost a year ago, so having a new one on the market by the end of the year would not be a big surprise at all. However, the FCC entry spotted this week is quite cryptic, but this might be a new Amazon device that comes from a shell company to make the whole deal even harder to figure out.
The new slate has PR53DC as model name, and the documents that describe some of its specs and features have been filed by Polebridge Hole LLC. The highlights spotted in these documents include WiFi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1 LE connectivity, a camera, a headset jack, and a microSD slot. Since it has support for additional storage via microSD, the new device is not going to join the Kindle, Fire TV, or Echo/Alexa families.
While none of these has been confirmed by Amazon yet, the company has been launching new devices in September for a few years now, so it is only a matter of time until more detailed rumors surface online.
Codrut Nistor - Senior Tech Writer - 5815 articles published on Notebookcheck since 2013
In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
