Amazon has dropped the price of its cheapest tablet by £ 30. The Kindle Fire will now set you back just £ 99, the company has said in an email to customers.
You know what this means: there’s new models a-coming. We’ve seen alreadycreated leaked snaps of the next Kindle Fire HD, so Amazon could well be trying to clear stock ahead of the launch, Which is expected before the end of this month.
The next 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HD leaked this week, and apparently there’s an 8.9-inch version in the pipeline, too. The new models will look alike, with a new angular design. The 7-incher shouldhave a resolution of 1,920 x1, 200 pixels – that’s the same as the new Nexus 7 – while the 8.9-incher shouldhave 2,560 x1, 600 pixels.
There are some more specs to go on, too. The 7-incher Should pack a 2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 800, Which is a step up from the Nexus 7, as well as 2GB of RAM. It Should come in a 64GB version (the current Fire HDs top out at 32GB) and have a front-facing camera. Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Should be on board for all your Google Now needs.
Any new Amazon tablets are expected to feature the same skinned version of Android, Which locks you into using Amazon’s products and services.
The £ 99 Kindle Fire is a steal, if you’re not bothered about having the latest hardware and do not mind just buying from Amazon. Google actually put the price up for its latest Nexus 7, so the Kindle Fire is now £ 100 cheaper than it. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
