Upgraded Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 appears in the AnTuTu database
An entry in the AnTuTu benchmark database spotted earlier today proves that Amazon may be close to the release of an updated Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 tablet. It is not known yet when will it come out, but this is the first slate we heard of that promises to be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 SoC.
The features of the upgraded Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 revealed by AnTuTu are the following:
- Processor: 2.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 with Adreno 420 graphics
- Memory/Storage: 2 GB RAM; not specified at this time, probably unchanged (currently available in 16, 32 and 64 GB variants)
- Display: 8.9-inch with 1,600X,2560 pixels, 100% sRGB color accuracy and 339 ppi
- Cameras: 1 MP front, 8 MP back
- Operating system: Android 4.4.4 KitKat
According to the news piece published by AnTuTu on this matter, it is possible that Amazon will not release this version but only use it for internal testing of the Snapdragon 805 processor. The improved Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 should also offer more memory, better cameras and maybe even a higher resolution screen, but this remains to be seen.

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.
