Last year’s Amazon Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 was a pretty impressive piece of kit, if you could forgive the forked Android operating system that was on it. It looks like Amazon may be readying a follow-up Amazon Kindle Fire HDX tablet after an incriminating benchmark was spotted on the AnTuTu database. With an identical screen-size of 8.9-inches, the new HDX tablet looks like it will be powered by the fastest Qualcomm processor on the market right now, the Snapdragon 805, 2GB RAM and have a screen resolution of 2560×1600.
The benchmark also suggests that the HDX will have Android 4.4.4, but that is certain to be Amazon’s own forked operating system. If this benchmark is true, it definitely looks like an impressive piece of kit, particularly if you’re invested in the Amazon ecosystem. As always though, we’ll be taking this benchmark with a grain of salt since we haven’t heard any official word, but we definitely wouldn’t complain if this device were to be released later this year.
What do you think about a possible follow-up Amazon Kindle Fire HDX? Did you like last year’s version? Let us know your opinion.
