The next generation Kindle Fire will appear in the third quarter.

Probably, there are quite a few happy owners of the Kindle Fire tablet on Habré. Like all other tablets, the Kindle Fire has some flaws that the developers promise to fix in the next version of the device. A new generation of Kindle Fire should appear in the third quarter. Now, Amazon has asked hardware manufacturers to speed up the work so that all devices can be delivered on time.

As for the characteristics of the device, the new Kindle Fire will be thinner and lighter than its “ancestor”. In addition, the developers have provided the presence of a built-in camera, as well as equipped the device with a better display. So, in the current model, the display resolution is 1024 * 600 pixels. in the new model, the display resolution will be 1280 * 800 pixels. The geometric dimensions of the display are almost unchanged. The coefficient of proportionality instead of 1.71 will be equal to 1.6.

The new display will be more familiar to gadget lovers. Now the resolution of 1280 * 800 is, if not the standard, before a fairly common display characteristic. In particular, Toshiba Thrive, Acer Iconia and the new Nexus 7 have just such a resolution and coefficient of proportionality.

Unfortunately, practically nothing is known about the other changes. But it is clear that the new version will be significantly improved. And the company needs to release a new tablet fairly quickly, because just to the fall, many other tablet PCs of competitive manufacturers for Amazon are timed to coincide. By the way, Amazon is trying not to compete with manufacturers of high-end tablets, like the iPad. For this reason, the configuration of the new Amazon tablet (as well as the old one) is unlikely to surprise any connoisseur of high-performance mobile devices.
