Amazon outs two new
tablets in the Fire HD line- the Fire HD 6 and HD 7. As their name implies, these
new devices come with 7-inch and 6-inch display with the same 1280 x 800p
resolution.
The two slates also share
similar features in terms of hardware – both have quad-core chipset, 1GB of RAM
and same 2MP/VGA camera sensor combo. The Fire HD 6 starts with USD 99 (Php
4,400) for an 8GB variant all the way up to USD 134 (Php 6,000) for 16-gigabyte
configuration. On the other hand, the HD 7 8GB is priced at USD 139 (Php 6,200)
and USD 174 (Php 7,800) for 16GB.
Alongside these hardware,
Amazon also announced the Fire OS 4 that will come with the device right off
the bat. It is based with Android KitKat and will seed to third-gen Fire HD
slates later this year.
